Single installation covered by G83/1 - notification at or before day of
commissioning followed by G83/1 paperwork (G83/1 appendix 3) within 30

The d.c. isolator must be double pole and rated for the system voltage and
current maxima as calculated from the PV array. It should be load-break rated.
The inverter must be treated as standard electrical apparatus and earthed as

output (kW) to be displayed. A kWh meter approved by OFGEM is
recommended as it may facilitate payment on ROCs and other Electricity
company scheme payments.
V - Do not work on this equipment until it is
isolated from both mains and on-site

Multiple installations covered by G83/1 - application to proceed (G83/1
appendix 2). On commissioning - notification and appendix 3 as above.
D.C. Cable
Cables must be rated, as a minimum, to the voltage and current ratings derived
from the PV array. Standard de-rating factors must also be applied (BS 7671).
Cables should be sized such that overall voltage drop at stc between the array

A.C. cables are to be specified and installed in accordance with BS 7671. The
a.c. cable connecting the inverter(s) to the consumer unit should be oversized
to minimise voltage drop. A 1% drop or less is recommended.
A manual a.c. isolator must be provided located in an accessible position within
the Customer's installation as in G83/1, which is:in accordance with BS 60947-3
must switch all live and neutral conductors.
must be securable in the OFF position only. It must be simple to secure
using a standard padlock- device that require a separate removable
adaptor or special key to enable them to be secured are not acceptable.
Lightning Protection
Where there is a perceived increase in risk of direct strike as a consequence of
the installation of the PV system, specialists in lightning protection should be
consulted with a view to installing a separate lightning protection system in
accordance with BS 6651.
