Technically Yes. All earthing pits should be bonded together so that there is equipotential bonding amongst them thus preventing back-feed from earth. However, some DISCOMs insist that DC earthing pits, AC earthing pits and LA pits should be kept separate. Please have a read of Legrand's Protection against Lightning Effects guide (Page 8) which [...]
DC Voltage Drop For Solar PV installations, the standard to follow would be from Australia called AS/NZS 5033:2014. It states, "For LV PV arrays under maximum load conditions (Imp), the voltage drop from the most remote module in the array to the input of the inverter should not exceed 3% of the Vmp voltage [...]
We have been asked a few times in the recent past as to whether we can run DC and AC cables run in the same conduit.The answer is No since the DC cables could induce a DC voltage onto the AC side. The AC sine wave should oscillate about the 0 volt axis i.e., the positive and negative [...]
