· Lower BoS Cost

Up to 10kW per string allows for more modules per string, this leads
to fewer strings per inverter and therefore less wiring and connectors

Electric Arcing Is
Threatening the Safety
of PV System &
Underlying Buildings
What is it?
-electrical breakdown of air that produces
an prolonged electrical discharge

What causes Electric Arcing?

- Unreliable soldered joints within modules
- Broken PV cables
- Loosen PV connectors

What is the harm?

Arc Detection Challenges
Can reach temperature of over ….
3000°C & easily start a fire Arc noise is generally weak and only accounts for 0.1% Inverter/Loads/Grid interference signals, as
of the normal current signal, it is difficult to detect and well as spectral overlay with normal current
often leads to missing detection signal leads to faulty detection
AI Powered
Active Arcing Protection

What is AI Powered AFCI?

- HUAWEI inverter keeps self-learning new arc feature to accurately protect
system from arc fault, even under complex noise

Self-learning new arc features

The output voltage of each module will be reduced to 0V in below

cases:
1. During installation, when string is disconnected from inverter,
or the inverter is turned off
