Fault Description

Possible Causes

 

 

 

 

 

 

0013

AC Voltage High

S

This fault indicates that the utility

Utility grid voltage rose

 

 

 

grid voltage is above or rose above

 

above the allowable

 

 

 

the maximum allowed value of 110%

 

limit

 

 

 

of nominal Vac for greater than 2

 

 

 

 

 

seconds, or 137% of nominal Vac for

 

 

 

 

 

greater than 2 cycles. This fault is

 

 

 

 

 

auto-clearing. Once the Utility grid

 

 

 

 

 

voltage has recovered within the

 

 

 

 

 

acceptable operating range, the

 

 

 

 

 

PV225S will qualify the value and

 

 

 

 

 

automatically clear this fault and

 

 

 

 

 

resume normal operation after

 

 

 

 

 

5 minute delay period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

0014

Grid Interface Failed

S

This fault indicates that the PV225S

processing power

 

 

 

compared to the DC input power for

more than 6 seconds. This normally

K3 is inoperable

 

 

 

means that the connection of the

PV225S to the grid has failed.

• TS1 or TS2 is open

 

 

 

 

 

0015

Grid Disconnection

S

This fault indicates that the PV225S

• S1 was opened while

 

 

 

has detected a sudden AC voltage

 

the PV225S was

 

 

 

increase of greater than 40% of the

 

processing power

 

 

 

nominal peak-to-peak value. This

 

 

 

 

 

normally is the result of a sudden

 

 

 

 

 

disconnection from the Utility grid

 

 

 

 

 

while the PV225S was processing

 

 

 

 

 

power.
