This Standard sets out the general installation requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays with d.c. open circuit voltages up to 600V between positive and negative conductors or up to (600V with respect to earth and a maximum power of 30kW.This includes the following PV array configurations (refer to Figures1.1 and 1.2) - Single string of modules.Multi-string PV array.PV array divided into several sub-arrays.Direct current systems, and photovoltaic systems in particular, pose some hazards in addition to those derived from conventional a.c. power systems, including the ability to produce and sustain electrical arcs with currents that are not much greater than normal operating currents. This Standard addresses the safety requirements arising from the particular characteristics of photovoltaic systems. A discussion of those characteristics is presented in AppendixA.Although this Standard does not cover PV array systems with a power greater than 30kW, similar principles can be used for such systems.
