SMA ArcFix
SMA ArcFix is an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI). With this function, the inverter effectively detects arcs on the DC side and interrupts them.
A detected electric arc causes the inverter to interrupt feed-in operation. To restart feed-in operation, the operational disruption which has occurred, must be reset through a manual restart. Alternatively, the arc-fault circuit interrupter can be activated without inhibiting operation. Depending on the country data set, arc fault detection is activated or deactivated by default. If the installation conditions permit this, you can change the default setting.
SMA ArcFix complies with the requirements of the IEC 63027 and corresponds to the following installation classes:
F-I-AFPE-1-6-1
F-I-AFPE-2-3-1
