RCD Selection for SolarEdge Inverters

A low threshold is used to protect against rapid changes in leakage typical of direct contact by people. A higher threshold is used for slowly rising leakage currents, to limit the current in grounding conductors for fire safety. The default value for higher speed personnel protection is 30mA, and 300mA per unit for lower speed fire safety.
