DC LOAD BREAKING DISCONNECTOR (DC ISOLATOR) CHECKLIST
DC Isolators

All DC isolators are correctly rated and configured for the PV arrays they isolate
Inverter/s integrated DC isolators

The inverter does not have Integrated DC IsolatorsThe inverter has an integrated DC isolatorThe inverter integrated DC isolator meets all the requirements in the Australian standardsA manufacture’s specification (spec) sheet and declaration has been provided and included with system documentation
Does the local state or territory regulator require a physically separate adjacent DC isolator to be installed at the inverter
No for NSW
Installation and testing of DC isolators

DC isolators enclosures IP maintained - e.g. orientation approved, pips installed if suppliedDC isolators installed to all relevant standards, guidelines, andAll DC isolators have been tested (turned off) under load

System is labelled as per requirements in AS/NZS 3000,

System is labelled as per requirements in AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777.1 and CEC guidelinesLV wiring system installed by a licensed electrical workerLV wiring system tested and certified by a licensed electrical workerSystem is compliant as per AS/NZS 5033 Section 5 - Marking & Documentation, and Appendix ADistributed energy resource (DER) documented as per NSP requirementsEarth Bonds are continuous (i.e if you remove the inverter will the Equipotential Bond be maintained to the Rooftop PV Array)Are stainless steel Cable Ties used to support Array CablingAre Earth Cables protected from the sun and are Earth Bonds PaintedAre Weebs installed as per manufacturers requirementsIs PV array installed far enough away from Edges, Hips Valleys and Peaks to comply with AS1170 and Manufacturers recommendations - This is the 2S Rule.Has Galvanically Similar metals been used to Secure all items on Roof. ( Note all fixings are to be stainless steel or aluminium) NO GALVANISED SCREWS!!!! Have the Isolator Covers been mounted with Rail Nuts and BoltsHave the same type of MC4 connector been used through out the installation
Inverter Settings

Inverter is installed as per network service provider (NSP) Connection AgreementCountry code settings are set to AustraliaInverter shuts down within 2 seconds of isolationInverter takes at least 60 seconds to start after re-connection to supplyInverter then takes 6 minutes to ramp up to 100%
