Appendix D: Inverter Arc Detection and
Interruption
Anelectricarcisanongoinghigh-energydischarge,resultingfromacurrentthroughanormallynon-
conductivematerialsuchasair.
WhenconnectersorcablesinaPVsystemareimproperlyconnectedoraredamaged,theelectric
currentmaypassthroughtheair,causinganelectricarc.Arcsgenerateheatwhichcancausefiresand
theyalsoposeanelectrocutionrisktothoseworkingnearthem.
SolarEdgeinverterscandetectarcsandinterruptproduction.Aqualifiedpersonmustre-enablethe
inverterafterproperlycheckingtheinstallation.
Thearcdetectionoptionisdisabledbydefault.ItmustbeenabledwhenUL1699Bcomplianceisrequired.

1. EnterSetupmodeandscrolltotheMaintenancemenu.
2. SelectAFCI èEnableorDisable.
