For protecting a photovoltaic generator comprising photovoltaic modules, having an open circuit voltage higher than an insulation design voltage of its photovoltaic modules and being connected to an AC power grid via an inverter against a surge voltage relative to ground resulting from a ground fault and exceeding the insulation design voltage, the photovoltaic generator is surveyed for the occurrence of the ground fault or the surge voltage. Upon the actual occurrence of the ground fault or the surge voltage, at first, the photovoltaic generator is separated from an input-side intermediate link capacitance of the inverter, and the inverter is separated from the AC power grid. Then, the intermediate link capacitance is discharged via a resistor, prior to permanently closing semiconductor switches of an inverter bridge of the inverter and to reconnecting the photovoltaic generator to the input-side intermediate link capacitance of the inverter to short circuit the photovoltaic generator. |
