User Manual STP33-62-US-41-BA-en-11 19
Surge arrester type 1 and 2
On the AC and DC side, the inverter is equipped with slots for type 1 and 2 surge protection
devices. The surge protection devices limit dangerous overvoltages. The surge protection devices
can be retrofitted.
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
In accordance with the National Electrical Code
®
, the inverter has a system for DC arc fault
detection and interruption. The arc-fault circuit interrupter is listed in accordance with UL 1699B
Ed.1. A detected electric arc causes the inverter to interrupt feed-in operation. To restart the feed-in
operation, the resulting operation inhibition must be reset. Alternatively, the arc-fault circuit
interrupter can be activated without inhibiting operation. Depending on the country data set, arc
fault detection is activated or deactivated by default. If the installation conditions allow it, you can
change the default setting.
