PV MODULE EARTHING

It is especially important that PV frame earthig is provided when using NON-ISOLATED 'transformer-less’ INVERTERS.

EARTH LAY-IN LUGS

• Copper Lay-in Grounding Lug
• Tin Plated
• Stainless Steel (M5 x 20mm) Bolt & Nut
• Star Washer
• 14-4 AWG conductor
• Stainless screws suitable for direct burial/outdoor use
• Ideal for continuous grounding for solar PV panels
• Corrosion resistant
• UL Certification                                                                                                           

Non-isolated inverters operate at high frequency.There will be an a.c. component on the d.c. supply.

This is capacitively coupled to the module frames producing an a.c. voltage. While not likely to be

lethal, this electrostatic charge, if not depleted by earthing, could be enough to frighten and possibly

cause a person to fall off the roof.
