ABSTRACT: Small leakage currents flow between the frame and the active cell matrix in photovoltaic (PV) modules under normal operation conditions due to the not negligible electric conductivity of the module build-ing materials.
Standard and detection of leakage current According to the 7.10.2 regulation of NB32004-2013 standard, in any case where the solar inverter is connected to the AC grid and the AC breaker is turned off, the inverter should provide leak current detection.
tive current showing.Remember, if the battery is full it may not be accepting current, resu ting in a low reading. Expect a current of around 3.5-4A in good sunshine, 5 to 4.0 Amps= 0 AmpsMeasure the operating current a described previously.Re-connect the solar panel directly to the battery
Predominantly the DC part of the leak-age current can cause significant electrochemical corrosion of cell and frame metals, potential-induced degradation (PID) of the shunting type and PID of the solar cells’ sur-face passivation [1,2,3].
And it has an extremely high precision requirement, a special current sensor is required. The photovoltaic standard stipulates that for the detection of photovoltaic leakage current, Type B, that is, a current sensor capable of measuring both AC and DC leakage currents, must be used.
Leak current detection should be able to detect the total (including the DC and AC parts) effective value current, continuous residual current. If the continuous residual current exceeds the following limits, the inverter should be disconnected and send a fault signal within 0.3s:
