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 value, the inverter must display a fault. For non-isolated inverters, it must be shut down and cannot be connected to the grid.
Never-theless, in order to reduce tendency for resonances with the grid or other neighboring inverters, a rea-sonable resistive part of the impedance is beneficial, i.e. frequencies at which an inverter behaves almost pure inductive or capacitive have a high risk to form weakly damped resonances.
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.
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.
The inverter detects the voltage between PV+ and PV- to ground and calculates the resistance between PV+ and PV- to ground. If the resistance on either side is lower than the threshold, the inverter stops working and displays an alarm indicating “low insulation resistance”.
The required impedance curves can deter-mined by measurement, analytically or by simula-tion . This paper concentrates on measuring the output impedance of inverters by means of a new measuring technique called differential impedance spectroscopy.
