Obtain CONSUEL favorable opinion. Mandatory enclosure since 09/01/2025 for CONSUEL inspections (new NF C 15-100 standard) when a generator is connected upstream of the consumption installation.
Case n°1: installation outside the main panel to ensure the protection of the existing installation.
⚡ Who is this enclosure for?
Self-consumption PV installations with a single-phase electricity supply contract ≤ 12kVA.
New construction sites or modifications requiring a new CONSUEL.
Connection of the generator upstream of the protection devices of a terminal circuit (§ 551.7 / § 551.7.2).
⚡ How does the 3kVA AC upstream enclosure work?
- Connect the inverter output to the upstream enclosure.
- Protect the production with a 2P 63A circuit breaker (12kVA at 230 V).
- Respect the rule: In_protection ≤ Ir_AGCP; size S1 at least in accordance with In_protection.
- Inject from the enclosure to the upstream entry point of the consumption installation, without passing through a terminal circuit.
- Declare Case n°1 in your CONSUEL space on the day of the inspection.
⚡ Key points to remember
Mandatory CONSUEL – application 09/01/2025 (NF C 15-100).
Case n°1: independent enclosure, outside the consumption panel.
Rating: 63A for 12kVA single-phase.
Compliance: In_protection ≤ Ir_AGCP; S1 ≥ section required by In_protection.
Prohibition: no connection to a terminal circuit.
⚡ Essential content / equipment
2P 63A thermal-magnetic circuit breaker (12kVA, 230 V).
Double 35 mm² terminals (input / output) for a clean connection (AGCP ↔ enclosure ↔ S1 link).
Case n°1 markings + simplified diagram on instructions/cover.
⚡ Implementation (best practices)
Place the enclosure as close as possible to the AGCP, upstream of the main panel.
Check the Ir of the AGCP and confirm that 63A ≤ Ir_AGCP.
Size the S1 link according to In_protection.
Prepare the Case n°1 technical file (CONSUEL platform).
