Integrated Grounding   

 
UBIQUITI SM-MI-250 offers Integrated Grounding, which eliminates the need to install a Grounding Electrode 
Conductor (GEC) to each micro inverter by completely isolating the internal DC circuit from the AC circuit and 
ground.    DC ground faults are detected on either the positive and/or negative conductors of the DC circuit by a 
Ground Fault Detection Interrupter Insulation Monitor (GFDI IM). If the GFDI IM detects a ground fault has 
occurred to the PV input, the micro inverter will automatically disconnect all conductors and cease supplying 
output power.    In accordance with NEC 690.35, Installers can build ungrounded arrays where only an Equipment 
Grounding Conductor (EGC) is required to connect or bond non-current carrying metal equipment together.    The 
EGC grounding process is completed via the grounding connection of SM-MI-250 4-wire AC cable to the AC trunk 
cable. Despite the fact that UBIQUITI has made it easier for the SM-MI-250 to install, by integrating the ground to 
the AC trunk cable, the PV module will still need to be grounded according to the PV manufacturer’s recommended 
grounding methods.
