Field Programmable Gate Array-Based Smart Switch to Avoid Inrush Current in PV Installations

This paper introduces an FPGA-based implementation of a smart switch designed to avoid inrush currents occurring during the connection of single-phase transformers utilized in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. The magnitude of inrush currents is notably impacted by the residual flux within t...
