1. Introduction
The Aurora Inverters, when used in multiple inverter systems, in parallel and
powered from a same floating source, need to observe basic installation rules
described in this document.
2. Anti-Islanding protection
3. DC Injection
4. Ground Fault
From an electrical point of view the Leakage Current derives from a loss of
insulation between some point of the system and grounding earth.
It can be represented as impedance to ground with RC (capacitive/resistive)
behaviour, not constant due to electrical and environmental parameters such
as voltage, current, humidity and temperature.

Ask factory for Advaced menu password mentioning the S/N of the unit to be
disabled.
In case of usage of N Wind Interface Boxes joined to each inverter, from the
same generating three phases AC source, these are not isolated devices but
just passive rectification stages, as such the need for isolation transformers
does not change, so N-1 transformers are still needed.

The common mode voltages with respect to ground, forced by the inverters
pulse width modulation function, VDC(1)CM and VDC(2)CM, are theoretically
identical, but in reality, due to component spread, tolerances and
unsyncronized PWMs, they are certainly slightly different.
