Application Note for External RCD Selection 


Solis inverters have a residual current monitoring unit (RCMU) integrated inside which complies with the requirements of IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2.

In case of a sudden change in residual current, Solis inverters will disconnect from the grid within the following time specified in the table and show alarm code accordingly.

Note: Local requirements trump IEC requirements, so if there are more stricter local requirements, then you as an installer need to follow those

In case of continuous residual current, Solis inverters will disconnect from the grid within 0.3s and show the alarm code “Ileak-PRO04”, if the continuous residual current exceeds the values in the following table.

 

 

Inverters with continuous output power rating ≤ 30kVA

Max 300mA

Inverters with continuous output power rating > 30kVA

 

Max 10mA per kVA

 

 

External RCD may be required to be installed in some countries. Since Solis inverters by design is not able to feed in DC residual current to grid, Solis recommends installing external Type A RCD with Solis inverters and the recommended ratings are listed below:
