4 FAQs about Solar inverter protection net

Why do inverters need protection?

Ensuring their protection against electrical and environmental factors is essential for optimal performance and longevity. This article outlines the key protections needed to safeguard inverters from common risks such as surges, overcurrent, and temperature extremes.

What are the protection functions of a solar inverter?

The protection functions are as follows: The overcurrent protection should be set on the AC output side of the solar inverter. When a short circuit is detected on the grid side, the solar inverter should stop supplying power to the grid within 0.1 second and issue a warning signal.

Should you protect your solar inverter from the Sun?

While protecting your solar inverter from the sun is crucial, there are other threats to consider – rain, dust, animals, and electrical hazards. Without proper protection, inverters exposed to the outdoor elements can suffer damage, leading to failures that can shorten their lifespan and impact their performance.

How to choose a solar inverter?

The solar on grid inverter should have lightning-prevention protection function, and the technical index of the lightning protection device should ensure to absorb the expected impact energy. When the polarity of the PV array is reversed, the solar inverter should be protected without damage.
