solar edge inverters

[poheZ]

Hi

In the manual solar edge recommends using a type A RCD to 100ma.

Is this what installers are using in the uk or is this some generic international statement? Does this mean that the solar edge is capable of leaking dc current onto the ac side?

Are you sure it is not saying that IF your install requires an RCD then it should be a type A RCD 100mA?

That is, the conditions of the install, rather than the inverter, are what dictates the need for an RCD?

i know what you mean, it is not very specific in what it says.

Its pretty clear TBH - "if your country requires an RCD" - well do we? yes and no is the answer - if the cables is <50mm in the wall then you will need RCD and in this instance follow the guidline - if you do what i do and design out the RCD then no its not required.

hey, our country does and doesnt require an RCD!

I just found the wording peculiar and i also could not find a statement about whether an external RCD is required or whether the internal rcmu meets any required standard other than the one stated.

Don't mind me while I bump some threads in the solar PV forum. If they're not current or applicable topics, just ignore the threads; they'll drop off the page. If they are, feel free to chip in and chat solar stuff in the solar panels forum.
