Learn MoreLeakage current of the photovoltaic system, which is also known as the square matrix residual current, is essentially a kind of common mode current. The cause is that there is parasitic capacitance between the photovoltaic system and the earth.
There are two distinct methods to eliminate the leakage current in the solar PV array system: (i) obstruct the leakage current, (ii) reduce the variation/constant common-mode voltage. The additional diodes/switches are incorporated in the system to obstruct the leakage current by disconnecting the PV array from the grid side network.
And it has an extremely high precision requirement, a special current sensor is required. The photovoltaic standard stipulates that for the detection of photovoltaic leakage current, Type B, that is, a current sensor capable of measuring both AC and DC leakage currents, must be used.
Standard and detection of leakage current According to the 7.10.2 regulation of NB32004-2013 standard, in any case where the solar inverter is connected to the AC grid and the AC breaker is turned off, the inverter should provide leak current detection.
The obtained results indicate that leakage current is not only related with electrical layout of the PV array but also the resistance of EVA and glass. Need Help?
Hazard of leakage current If the leakage current in the photovoltaic system, including the DC part and the AC part, is connected to the grid, it can cause problems such as grid-connected current distortion and electromagnetic interference, so as to affect the operation of the equipment in the grid.
