Reason

Test Stop

Communication lose or inverter
occur other fault when testing

Check the communication or
check the inverter state

Test fail

The trip value of the test result is

not in the limit of the spec

Check the grid state, make sure
the grid is stable, and retest

6.2.3. GFCI function

GFCI is short for Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter which is used for preventing from
being electric shock. The inverter is equipped with integrated RCD (Residual Current
Protective Device) and RCM (Residual Current Operated Monitor). The current sensor
will detect the volume of the leakage current and compare it with the pre-set value.
If the leakage current is above the permitted range, the RCD will disconnect the
inverter from the AC load.

6.2.4. PV isolation detection

6.2.4. PV isolation detection

The ISO function a protection mechanism. The inverter measures the resistances
between both the positive pole and negative pole of PV panel and earth.
Either of the measured value is lower than the limit, the PV inverter will not connect
to grid, the output relay will stay open, and show 'PV isolation low'. The limited
value is determined by the standards. The firmware setting of our PV inverters is
5Mohm.
The simplified principle of the isolation resistance measurement is described as
below:

6.3. LCD display

In the lower center of inverter there is the LCD display. We can check inverter
running status, etc. on the LCD screen. Items displayed can be changed by knock;
you can also change some inverter parameters by knock.
