Example: Location of the ground fault

The example shows a ground fault between the second and third PV module.

3. If a definite ground fault cannot be measured and the message is still displayed, measure the

insulation resistance.

4. Reconnect the strings without ground faults to the inverter and recommission the inverter (see

Section 12, page 38).

Test by Measuring the Insulation Resistance

If the voltage measurement does not provide sufficient evidence of a ground fault, the insulation
resistance measurement can provide more exact results.
