http://www.enphase.com - Enphase microinverters are safer than traditional inverters because they produce AC at the module-level and for their distributed nature. • This is a presentation of PV fire safety. • It's a demonstration of the risk of arc faults, which are inherent with inverter technologies. • In this demonstration, there is simulation of a wiring fault. The first case simulates a DC string inverter. As we establish an arc by simulating a wiring fault, the arc gets hotter and hotter. Temperatures can reach up to 4200 degrees centigrade. This is hot enough to melt tungsten. • The second case illustrates a microinverter scenario. As you can see, only the smallest of arcs is visible and for a very brief moment. The arc is self extinguishing. The risks are minimized with Enphase microinverters. • We hope this illustrates the difference in arc fault risks between inverter technologies.
