ABSTRACT:
Along with the expansion of the application range of solar power generation systems, connection to a single-phase 100-V system is required. To most easily meet this requirement, a non-insulated inverter with a single-phase two-wire 100-V output is used. It is preferable to use an inverter with a single-phase two-wire 200-V output, i.e., a most popular commercially available inverter. For this purpose, a power supplied from a solar battery is converted into a single-phase three-wire 200-V AC power form by the inverter. The output from the inverter with non-insulated inputs and outputs is supplied to a system through a transformer arranged to connect the line of the single-phase three-wire 200-V AC power to a single-phase two-wire 100-V system with one line grounded. To make a ground fault sensor incorporated in the inverter function, the median potential line of the single-phase three-wire 200-V AC power is connected to the ground line of the system.
