There is a standard that <em>all<\/em> approved electrical devices in Australia are required to meet (C Tick) but it does not guarantee zero emissions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The school is out on exactly what harm can occur to human beings from electromagnetic radiation but solar inverters do emit it, so if you are concerned ensure that your inverter is installed well away from living areas \u2013 as a rule Electromagnetic Radiation drops off very quickly as you move away from the source and is reasonably easily blocked by obstructions.<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, the biggest problems stem from Radio Frequency interference on AM or HAM radio because they rely on weak and variable signals with large antennae, which are particularly susceptible to interference of any kind but it doesn\u2019t rule out solar for radio buffs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good installation practices to minimise EMR and RFI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The number one rule for EMR and RFI prevention are first and foremost \u2013 determine the real cause. Is it the inverter or something else? A simple hand held battery powered AM radio is a great tool to determine where interference is coming from.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have found your source you can then revert to the golden rules &#8211; shielding, cancellation, filtering and suppression. Careful routing and location of the DC cabling (twisting them is a good general tip too) is a good idea and the location of the inverter can make a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is dangerous to generalise, lower cost inverters (or other products such as power supplies) tend to have less filtering and EMR\/RFI reduction equipment built in and are likely to cause more interference. \u00a0Some quality inverter web sites talk about their testing and the lack of EMF that is produced as a result of clever design; so some companies clearly invest more heavily in these types of issues.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are really concerned about RFI or EMR, then I would strongly advise paying a few hundred dollars more to upgrade to an SMA \/ Aurora \/ Delta or other top quality European inverter from a brand that has had decades to tweak their designs. And make sure you ask the installer about the issue to weigh up his experience of this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing radio frequency interference is, at best, a \u201csnipe\u201d hunt but choosing quality gear and using installers who understand the issue will go a long way to minimising any impacts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar inverters do emit both radio interference and electromagnetic radiation.
