To correctly size a solar pump inverter for an existing AC pump, you must match the inverter\u2019s Rated Output Current to the motor\u2019s Full Load Amps (FLA), typically applying a 1.15x safety margin. Sizing by kW alone is a common field error that leads to premature IGBT failure. Additionally, the PV array configuration must ensure the Vmp stays within the inverter’s MPPT window while the Voc never exceeds the maximum DC input voltage at the site\u2019s lowest temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1: The “Current Over Power” Rule<\/h2>\n

Sur le terrain, nous voyons souvent des installateurs qui raccordent un onduleur de 7,5 kW \u00e0 une pompe de 7,5 kW et se demandent pourquoi il se d\u00e9clenche en cas de surintensit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La v\u00e9rit\u00e9:<\/strong> Power ratings are nominal. The real work is done by current. If your pump’s FLA (Full Load Amps) is 15A, your inverter must be able to deliver that current continuously under solar fluctuations.<\/p>\n
