Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vph=

130V

 

3 seconds

 

Vph: phase-to-neutral (rms) high threshold

 

Clr t < 1.00s

 

 

 

voltage setting, the threshold at which the inverter

 

 

 

 

 

 

disconnects itself from the power grid when

 

 

 

 

 

 

abnormally high phase-to-neutral AC voltage is

 

 

 

 

 

 

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clr t: clear time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vpl=

107V

 

3 seconds

 

Vpl: phase-to-neutral (rms) low threshold voltage

 

Clr t < 2.00s

 

 

 

setting, the threshold at which the inverter

 

 

 

 

 

 

disconnects itself from the power grid when

 

 

 

 

 

 

abnormally low phase-to-neutral AC voltage is

 

 

 

 

 

 

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clr t: clear time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fh=

60.4Hz

 

3 seconds

 

Fh: frequency high threshold setting, the threshold

 

Clr t < 0.16s

 

 

 

at which the inverter disconnects itself from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

power grid when abnormally high frequency is

 

 

 

 

 

 

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clr t: clear time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fl=

59.4Hz

 

3 seconds

 

Fl: frequency low threshold setting, the threshold

 

Clr t < 0.16s

 

 

 

at which the inverter disconnects itself from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

power grid when abnormally low frequency is

 

 

 

 

 

 

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clr t: clear time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reconnect Delay

 

3 seconds

 

Setting for the reconnect delay for the protection

 

305.00s

 

 

 

timer. After a fault clears for the specified clear

 

 

 

 

 

 

time, the protection timer starts counting down

 

 

 

 

 

 

before the inverter attempts to deliver power to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

grid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*The voltage and frequency thresholds, clear times and reconnect delay in Table 5-1 can be adjusted for multi-unit installations producing 30 kW or more

(with the permission of the local utility) using GTConfigLite software.

The clear time is the total time to disconnect the output from the grid. It is the sum of the debounce time and the hardware delay time. The debounce time is the protection processor waiting time before it declares a fault. This delay is necessary to avoid nuisance trips. The hardware delay time (100 ms maximum) is the time taken by the hardware to disconnect the output from the grid after a fault has been declared.

The protection timer begins counting down the reconnect delay during startup and the “Reconnecting in sss seconds” screen appears until the timer countdown is complete.
