Anti-Island Protection
A condition referred to as "Islanding" occurs when a distributed generation source (such as the PV100S
The PV100S employs a method for detecting the islanding condition using a
Upon detection of such a condition, the PV100S then performs an immediate orderly shutdown and opens both the main AC and DC contactors. The fault condition will remain latched until the utility voltage and frequency have returned to normal for at least 5 minutes.
This method has been extensively tested and proven to exceed the requirements of
PV Ground Fault Detection
The PV100S is equipped with a ground fault detection circuit by means of a
For additional information, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting”.
DC Over-voltage Detection
In the event of DC voltage greater than 600 Vdc, the PV100S will execute an orderly shutdown and will report a fault to the operator interface. If DC voltage remains greater than 600 Vdc, the PV100S may be irreparably damaged.
See Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting” for further information on this fault condition.
