class=\"leeyee-intro\">\r\n    <p>\r\n      A PV inverter RS485 communication cable may connect an outdoor inverter to a data logger, monitoring cabinet or control room. When that cable is exposed to surge risk, the main engineering question is not simply whether to use a signal SPD. It is <strong>where the RS485 SPD should be installed: at the inverter, at the data logger, or at both ends of the cable<\/strong>.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p>\r\n      This page focuses only on that installation-position decision.

A short connection contained within one cabinet may require only one evaluated protection point. A long outdoor cable between a PV inverter and remote monitoring equipment should be assessed for SPD protection at both ends, especially when the cable crosses building boundaries, exposed zones or different grounding areas.\r\n    <\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"leeyee-table-wrap\">\r\n      <table class=\"leeyee-decision-table\">\r\n        <thead>\r\n          <tr>\r\n
