FAQs about Lightning protection rating for solar-powered communication cabinet inverter

Can lightning protection be combined with SMA inverters?

Also, special features of combining overvoltage protection devices with SMA inverters are described. The document covers lightning protection in as far as it influences overvoltage protection. Lightning protection systems are intended to prevent damage to buildings from lightning strikes.

Does a PV inverter have overvoltage protection?

The inverter is manufactured with internal overvoltage protection on the AC and DC (PV) sides. If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system.

Can a PV system be installed on a building with a lightning protection system?

If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system. The inverters are classified as having Type III (class D) protection (limited protection).

Which SPD type should be used for a lightning inverter?

If lightning partial currents are expected, an SPD type I with connected SPD type II should be used. For inverters with one MPP tracker, the strings are combined before the inverter and connected to the SPD(s) at the point of interconnection. For inverters with multiple MPP trackers, an SPD or SPD combination should be planned for each input.
