6 FAQs about Huawei inverter anti-DC arc

Do Huawei inverters meet UL 1699b-2018 arc fault circuit protection requirements?

To verify the performance and availability of arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI), Huawei entrusted the China General Certification Center (CGC) to complete comprehensive evaluation, with its results showing that Huawei inverters with the AFCI function meet the requirements of UL 1699B-2018 "Safety Standard for PV DC Arc Fault Circuit Protection."

Can a Huawei inverter cause a fire?

If PV modules or cables are not properly connected or damaged, electric arcs may occur, which may cause fire. Huawei inverters provide unique arc detection in compliance with UL 1699B-2018 to ensure the safety of users' lives and property. This function is enabled by default. The inverter automatically detects arc faults.

Where are Huawei AFCI inverters used?

Huawei inverters with the AFCI function have been successfully applied in many countries and regions, such as China, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Complies with the UL 1699B-2018 standard and reaches the L4 level in CGC/GF 175:2020.

Does Huawei use AFCI technology?

comprehensively evaluate the AFCI technology used by Huawei from February to May 2020. Figure 3-1 shows the technical verification and evaluation process and items. In terms of application scope, Huawei focuses on distributed (including residential) PV systems for AFCI application.

What is Huawei AFCI application scope?

In terms of application scope, Huawei focuses on distributed (including residential) PV systems for AFCI application. Based on the occurrence probability of the three types of DC arcs, as well as the difficulties and applications of AFCI technologies, Huawei focuses its technological development on the detection of series arcs.

What is the AFCI function of a DC arc fault alarm?

The AFCI function involves the DC arc fault alarm. The inverter has the AFCI alarm automatic clearance mechanism. If an alarm is triggered for less than five times within 24 hours, the inverter automatically clears the alarm. If the alarm is triggered for five times or more within 24 hours, the inverter locks for protection.
