specification of the maximum string fuse value in the module data sheet of the respective
solar module are decisive factors in the protection of the solar module.
The maximum short circuit current I
SC
per terminal is 12 A.
The string fuse release current can be set to greater than 12 A if required.
If the inverter is being operated with an external string collection box, the DC connector kit
(item numbers 42,0201,4479 and 42,0201,4480) must be used. In this case the solar mod-
ules are externally protected in the string collection box and the metal bolts should be used
in the inverter.
National regulations regarding fuse protection must be observed. The electrician perform-
ing the installation is responsible for choosing the right string fuses.
The inverter is delivered with metal bolts as standard.
Criteria for the
Proper Selection
of String Fuses
The following criteria must be met for each solar module string when using fuse protection:
-I

< 2.4 x I
SC
-U

>/= max. input voltage of inverter being used
- Fuse dimensions: Diameter 10 x 38 mm

NOTE! To prevent a risk of fire, faulty fuses must only be replaced by new equiv-
alent fuses.

imum fuse protection value is not specified, please request it from the solar mod-
ule manufacturer.
