Photovoltaic inverter grounding
What is effective grounding in photovoltaic(PV) systems? Effective grounding in photovoltaic (PV) systems is the creation of a low-impedance reference to ground at the AC side of
A grounding wire of 6 AWG must be connected to the grounding terminal on the inverter and connected to a single-point grounding connection wire. If there is no suitable grounding connection point, then the grounding wire from the inverter must be connected to the negative terminal of the battery bank for off-grid systems.
Inverters are enclosed with an Aluminum heatsink to dissipate heat and are also fitted with a grounding terminal to the enclosure. A grounding wire of 6 AWG must be connected to the grounding terminal on the inverter and connected to a single-point grounding connection wire.
It is a mandatory practice required by NEC and IEC codes to protect both equipment and personnel from damage and electric shock hazards. This article covers grounding in PV systems, which differs slightly from standard grounding systems.
Modern grounded inverters and PV arrays are not isolated from the grounded output circuit of the inverter. In this scenario, the equipment grounding conductor (EGC) of the PV circuit can be connected to the grounding terminal of the inverter, which is eventually connected to the AC grounding system and electrode within the premises.
