    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Specification describes the principles for selection, location, coordination and operation of SPDs to be connected to PV installations. The d.c. side is rated up to 1 500 V d.c. and the a.c. side, if any, is rated up to 1 000 V rms 50 Hz. The electrical installation starts from a PV generator or a set of interconnected PV modules with their cables, provided by the PV generator manufacturer, up to the user installation or the utility supply point. For PV installations including batteries, additional requirements will be necessary. NOTE 1HD 60364-7-712, CLC/TS 61643-12 and EN 62305-4 are also applicable. NOTE 2This Technical Specification deals only with SPDs, and not with SPDs components integrated inside equipment.
