hi
i have an old customer who's pv installation is tripping out when raining/wet. 16 x 245w Sharp panels with a Power-One PVI-3.6 TL inverter. The inverter is showing a current leakage from the panels which obviously increases when soaking. All mounting structure is bonded
There is a 30mA RCD installed and ideally i would like to swap this out for a 100mA RCD however i am unsure if it would be compliant under 17th ed regs.
DC cable is coming through the roof tiles and cables are clipped to rafters next to the inverter. For the ac cable we have drilled through the loft floor and fed direct into consumer unit.
Could anyone advise if this would be compliant if I install the 100mA RCD or would I need to swap inverter out for one with a transformer?
Thanks
