2.1 Operating DC voltage. To meet the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive, converter ratings must be lower than 1500 Vdc (or 1000 Vac).(1) Therefore, the highest Vcc is considered to be 1500 V. In reality, however, photovoltaic converters rarely see 1500 Vdc operation due to the panel output characteristics even if rated.
