Manufacturer’s declaration
for the operation of PIKO 3.0 and PIKO 3.6 single-phase feed-in solar
inverters in photovoltaic systems with type A residual current protection
switches:
The KOSTAL PIKO solar inverters from the above-mentioned range can be used to
safeguard the grid supply with FI protection switches of the type A and to ensure a trigger
threshold of I = 100 mA.
A residual-current circuit-breaker (Type AC) is sufficient for the monitoring from the inverter
to the building connection point.
for the operation of the PIKO 4.2, PIKO 5.5, PIKO 8.3, PIKO 10.1 three-phase
in-feed solar inverters in photovoltaic systems with residual protection
switches of the type A:
The KOSTAL PIKO solar inverters of the above-mentioned range supply power to the grid
symmetrically via three network phases.
The conversion topology developed for this is characterised by a constant supply of power
from the PV generator to the grid, which ensures maximum operation reliability.
Permanent residual current is principally avoided due to the inverter’s operating features.
Switching to the mains grid only takes place after an automatic inspection to ensure
sufficient insulation of the PV generator to the grid.
A fault in the system would also lead to a fault in the supply of direct current and is
immediately prevented by the redundant internal residual current monitoring unit (RCMU)
which disconnects it from the grid.
The type A residual current devices (RCDs) also installed externally on the grid side are not
disrupted due to the inverter in the monitoring unit.
The trigger level for operation of 1-3 inverters is 100 mA. For operation of more than 3
inverters, the disconnection threshold is 300 mA.
KOSTAL PIKO solar inverters conform to the following standards:
• DIN VDE 0100-712
• IEC 60364-7-712
• CEI 64-8/7

hereby confirm
that the PIKO 3.0, 3.6, 4.2, 5.5, 8.3 and 10.1 inverters demonstrate a good resistance to
ammonia.
Ammonia concentration, temperature and time play a decisive role. Based on the ammonia
contamination levels (max. 20 ppm) specified for agriculture, no impairment to the housing,
seals, connecting plug and function of PIKO inverters is to be expected.
