4. Junction Boxes: There are safety devices which are installed on both the sides of the inverter, ie AC and DC side. This ensures that all the components are isolated from each other incase of any faults. Ensure that the MCB is installed as per your connected load, generally for a 3kW solar plant 16A MCB is used. Along with this, SPD’s and fuses are present in the junction boxes. One most important and ignored component in junction boxes are the boxes itself.
