2.3.2 Regular Operational Voltage Range


The inverters can operate within the allowable voltage range for at least the
specified observation time. The setting of the conditions depends on whether
the connection is due to a normal operational start-up or an automatic
reconnection after tripping of the interface protection.
When the voltage level is out of the operational levels, the inverter will
disconnect from the grid in the protection time. If a disturbance lasts less than
the required protection time, the inverter can reconnect to the grid if the voltage
level goes back to normal levels after the disturbance.

for details.

2.3.4 Active Power Regulation

Over-voltage Response
When the grid voltage is higher than (110 % Vmax - 5) V, the inverter will reduce
the active power export to grid according to the following equation:
△P = Pnom x R
Where:
− △P is the variation of active power export to grid (in %) related to the
nominal power.
− Pnom is the nominal grid power.
− R is the desired reduction in active export power (expressed in % of Volt),

adjusted in -20 % per Volt.

Over-Frequency Response
When there is an increase in grid frequency which exceeds the Start value, the
inverter will reduce the power output linearly with an increase of frequency until
the End value is reached.

2.3.6 SPI and Auto Test (Italy only)


The auto test system will check the maximum/minimum frequency and voltage
provided in the interface protection system (SPI). For each frequency and
voltage protection function, the tripping threshold varies linearly upward or
downward with a slope of ≤ 0.05 Hz/s or ≤ 0.05 V/s respectively for the
frequency and voltage protection. For details, see “7.11.1 Auto Test”.
The SPI local control via the LCD setting is capable to change the frequency
protection thresholds. For details, see “7.11.2 SPI Local Control”.
The frequency protection thresholds can also be set via RS485 by an external
device. Through the external signal/command:

 Low (state value 0) in case of really operating communication


 High (state value 1) in case of external commands sent by the external
device

Multiple inverters cannot share one circuit breaker.


Never connect a load between the inverter and the circuit breaker.

Residual Current Monitoring Device


With an integrated universal current-sensitive residual current monitoring unit
inside, the inverter will disconnect immediately from the mains power once a
fault current with a value exceeding the limit is detected.
However if an external residual current device (RCD) is mandatory, the switch
must be triggered at a residual current of 300 mA or higher.

9.2 Maintenance

Risk of inverter damage or personal injury due to incorrect service!


Always keep in mind that the inverter is powered by dual sources: PV
strings and utility grid.
Before any service work, observe the following procedure.
 Disconnect the AC circuit breaker and then set the DC load-break
switch of the inverter to OFF;
 Wait at least 10 minutes for inner capacitors to discharge completely;
 Verify that there is no voltage or current before pulling any connector.

Keep non-related persons away!


A temporary warning sign or barrier must be posted to keep
non-related persons away while performing electrical connection and
service work.

Restart the inverter only after removing the fault that impairs safety
performance.
As the inverter contains no component parts that can be maintained,
never arbitrarily replace any internal components.
For any maintenance need, please contact SUNGROW. Otherwise,
SUNGROW shall not be held liable for any damage caused.
