← TechnologyWhich risk increases when incorrectly sized arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are installed in a residential solar photovoltaic (PV) system?
A)Nuisance tripping during normal operation✓
B)Increased grid feedback harmonic distortion
C)Elevated charge controller temperatures
D)Decreased inverter conversion efficiency
💡 Explanation
Nuisance tripping increases because tiny, harmless current fluctuations may be misinterpreted as dangerous arc faults due to the AFCI's sensitivity; therefore, the circuit breaker trips unnecessarily rather than correctly distinguishing real hazardous arcs.
