Re: [RE-wrenches] ground fault troubleshooting

Colleagues: I have been saying for some time that we need to rethink PV ground fault indicator systems. The fundamentals of existing GFI systems is for the bond between the grounded-conductor and the grounding-conductor to be opened upon a ground fault. This bond is important for safety and

Wrenches all, I 100% second Bill B's comment Correct that... I 200% second it. It should be the law "Don't begin to troubleshoot a faulted PV circuit without a reliable DC clamp meter." The MOST DANGEROUS PV system is a wounded PV system. This includes danger to persons and property. Safely

There's a link at the bottom of the text to the model assumptions. In short, it appears they use the systems monitored via Sunny Portal to build the curve, and the info published by the government on the total nominal output of all PV installed in Germany to scale the curve. Phil Undercuffler
