We have talked about sizing your inverter and how the location of your solar power panels can effect the costs of installing a solar power system. One of the concerns we have come across is “Impedance”; this is also an important factor to keep in mind when building/designing a solar power system.
If an inverter shows “insulation impedance is too low”, it means that the inverter has detected that the insulation impedance of the positive or negative pole on the component side to the ground is too low, indicating that there is an abnormal situation in the insulation impedance to the ground of the DC side cable or component. 1.
As a first general con-clusion, the size of the impedance correlates with the nominal power as expected, i.e. high-power inverters tend to show lower output impedance. Furthermore all devices have at least one parallel resonance point, whereas its position and form differ between the devices.
This means, in short, that impedance is what inhibits current flow between two points in an AC electrical circuit. So
Detecting the insulation impedance of the array is a mandatory standard and requirement for inverters. When the insulation impedance of the photovoltaic array is detected to be less than the specified
