A security circuit for a power supply feeding a DC system is provided. The security circuit is disposed on an outlet of the power supply. A switch element is disposed between a positive power supply clamp and a positive output clamp towards the DC system. A choke coil is disposed between the switch element and the positive output clamp. The choke coil is connected to an output capacitor on a side connected to the positive output clamp, and a side of the choke coil that is connected to the switch element is connected to a cathode side of a diode that is connected in parallel to the output capacitor. The security circuit also includes a control for the switch element, connecting the switch element in accordance with the power measured in the security circuit.

Electronic security for a power supply

There is described a communication structure for at least two solar inverters, having a transmission medium by means of which each of the at least two solar inverters is connected to a communication network with a first group of the solar inverters each being connected via an LAN interface to the communication network, and with a further group of the solar inverters being connected to the first group via serial interfaces. Two different network types are therefore provided with the first being suitable for standard LAN technologies with rapid data transmission over short distances, and with the second being suitable for interference-insensitive data transmission over long distances.
