Inverter measuring voltage to ground

4 FAQs about [Inverter measuring voltage to ground]

How do I troubleshoot a PV inverter?

Troubleshooting: Disconnect the DC switch of each PV string connected to the inverter, and use a multi-meter to measure the voltage of the PV+ to ground and PV- to ground of each string. This will identify which string has the ground fault.

How do you know if an inverter has a ground fault?

Measure the remaining strings in the same manner. If the insulation resistance of a string deviates considerably from the theoretically calculated value, there is a ground fault present in that string. Reconnect to the inverter only those strings from which the ground fault has been eliminated. Reconnect all other strings to the inverter.

What happens if the DC cable connects to the inverter?

3) The insulation layer of the DC cable connecting the string to the inverter is damaged and connected to the ground. Troubleshooting: Disconnect the DC switch of each PV string connected to the inverter, and use a multi-meter to measure the voltage of the PV+ to ground and PV- to ground of each string.

How do you test an inverter?

Calculate the expected insulation resistance per string. Disconnect the inverter from any voltage sources (see the inverter installation manual). Install the short circuit device. Connect the measuring device for insulation resistance. Short-circuit the first string. Set the test voltage.
