CI is required in some countries In these cases the installer must check which type of GFCI is required by the relevant electric code SolarEdge recommends using a type A GFCI The recommended GFCI value is 100mA or 300mA unless a lower value is required by the specific local electric codes In installations where the local electric code requires the use of a lower leakage GFCI the discharge current may trip the GFCI The following steps can be taken in order to avoid this problem 1 It is important to select an appropriate GFCI in order to ensure proper operation of the installation Although the GFCI used in such cases is a 30mA GFCI it may still trip at 1SmA according to IEC 61008 Good quality GFCIs will trip at a higher value 2 Configure the trip current of the inverters internal GFCI to a lower current than the trip current of the external GFCI The internal GFCI may still trip if the current is higher than the allowed current but because the internal inverter GFCI automatically resets when the residual currents are low it does not require a manual reset You may consult with the SolarEdge support center for assistance with this issue 3 Certain PV panels with low capacitance leakage to the frame are preferable Refer to the SolarEdge Application Note GFCI Selection for Single Phase Inverters for a full discussion of the subject Commissioning the Installation solar e AE te instaiaton EE SolarEdge Installation Guide
