3.3.2.1. AC Fuses
• AC fuses protect the supply conductors between the inverter and the utility grid.
• AC fuses must be provided by the system installer.
• Recommended rating for the AC fuses is as per the local and national electrical
regulations.

3.3.3. Surge Protection Devices
Overvoltage protection is used to prevent voltage surges through sensitive equipment.
The DLX inverters are equipped with Temperature protected Metal Oxide Varistors (TMOV) on
both the DC and the AC side, which conduct excessive current from voltage surges to
ground.
• PV systems mounted in an open or exposed environment need added protection on
both the DC and AC side, as they can act as lightning rods.
• When the conductors are exposed to transients, their behavior limits the effectiveness of
a surge arrester. One or more surge arresters are needed in installations with long
conductors to obtain the required level of protection.
• Always use qualified assessment when selecting the appropriate kA ratings for the
overvoltage protection device!
• The DLX inverters are designed for category B: 100 kA – 150 kA per phase.
