Quick Answer
The Sol-Ark 12K and 15K hybrid inverters do have built-in surge protection features to safeguard your electrical system and equipment from sudden voltage spikes or power surges.
Built-In Surge Protection
The Sol-Ark hybrid inverters have an integrated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) that helps prevent electrical shock and fires caused by ground faults or arcing. These features provide an added layer of protection for your electrical panel and equipment, reducing the risk of damage or injury. The surge protection capabilities of the Sol-Ark inverters are designed to handle high surge currents and provide reliable performance in whole-home backup applications.
Electrical Surge Protection Capabilities
The Sol-Ark 12K and 15K inverters have a built-in surge protection rating of 100kA, which is sufficient to handle the majority of electrical surges that can occur in residential settings. This feature is particularly important when using the inverter for whole-home backup, as it helps prevent damage to the electrical panel, wiring, and appliances. By providing robust surge protection, the Sol-Ark inverters ensure reliable performance and minimize the risk of electrical shock or equipment damage.
Off-Grid and Whole-Home Backup Applications
When used in off-grid or whole-home backup applications, the Sol-Ark inverters with built-in surge protection can help ensure a safe and reliable electrical supply. The surge protection feature provides an added layer of security, reducing the risk of electrical shock or equipment damage caused by power surges or electrical faults. This feature is particularly important in off-grid applications, where the risk of electrical shock or equipment damage can be higher due to the use of generators or other non-grid electrical sources.
