Rating for a Line Circuit Breaker in a Photovoltaic Power Generating
System Operated in Parallel to the Low Voltage Grid
Various factors should be taken into account when selecting line circuit breakers. These
include, for example:
• The type of cable used (conductor material and insulation)
• Ambient temperatures affecting the cables (higher temperatures result in a reduced
maximum current load)
• Method of routing the cable (reduces the maximum current load)
• Bundling cables together (reduces the maximum current load)
• Loop impedance [Z] (in the event of a body contact this limits the current that can
flow and therefore determines the response behavior of the circuit breaker)
• Sufficient distance between the circuit breakers so as to avoid undue heating (heat
can trigger the circuit breaker early)
•Selectivity
• Protection class of the connected load (VDE 0100, part 410), Protection against
electric shock
The following standards should be followed in all cases:
Please pay attention to section 10 "Rating for a Line Circuit Breaker" (Page 55).
• DIN VDE 0298-4 (Cable routing and current-carrying capacity)
• DIN VDE 0100, part 430 (Protective measures; protection of cable and
cords against overcurrent)
• DIN VDE 0100, part 410 (Protective measures; protection against electric
shock)
