FAQ - 16A AC Surge Protector Box (3kWp)

1. Why is this box essential for a 3kWp installation? +
This box ensures compliance with standard C15-712-1 (mandatory for Consuel certification). It protects your inverter against atmospheric surges thanks to its Citel surge arrester and ensures personal safety via its high-immunity residual current circuit breaker, whilst allowing for a rapid emergency shutdown of the installation.
2. What is the advantage of the ABB Type A-APR "High Immunity" residual current device? +
Photovoltaic inverters generate harmonics and slight natural leakage currents that often trip standard residual current devices. The ABB Type A-APR is specifically designed to filter out these disturbances, thereby preventing false trips that would interrupt your solar power generation for no real reason.
3. How do Wago spring terminals make installation easier? +
Unlike conventional screw terminals, Wago spring terminals (10–16 mm²) allow tool-free connection and ensure consistent contact pressure over time. This eliminates the risk of overheating due to insufficient tightening and significantly reduces commissioning time on site.
4. Is this box suitable for outdoor installation? +
Yes, thanks to its IP65-rated housing, this enclosure is completely dust-tight and protected against water spray. You can therefore install it safely outdoors, beneath your panels or near your inverter, whilst complying with weather protection standards.
