This is my personal opinion getting from basic information to protect equipment from lightning surge.
Left side graphic shows characteristics of PV panel. It usually shows at 25 degree C. Max operation point is the most efficient to generate power. Charactristics curve move up and down depending upon illumination(rain, cloudy or sunny.) and it also move left and right depending upon temparature.
As you can see above, Voltage and current charactristics curve changes in variety of fators. You have to think about this when you select rating currnt of circuit breaker. We recomend that you get panel data from manufacures.
Generated power really depends on weather fators. It may gerenate 10% or less rainy days or night. This makes difficult condition to choose circuit breaker. Rating current refered maxinum current does not work if SPD becomes short circuit condition by lighting strike on rainy days, it does not work. Internal disconnector must cover this case to protect circuit.
Again contents in this Web site is my Personal Opnion. I did my best for the contents of this site, but may have some mistakes. We applogize if such things happen. Please remember that we will Not Take Any Resposibilties, even if you take countermeasures for lighting surge following on this contents and have any damage directly on your equipment and/or some other seconday damages.Please do any lightning protection based on your own resposibilty.
