WSD (wired shutdown)

The wired shutdown (WSD) interrupts the inverter feeding energy into the grid if the trigger device (switch, e.g. emergency stop or fire alarm switch) has been activated.

If an inverter (secondary device) fails, it is bypassed and the other inverters continue operating. If a second inverter (secondary device) or the inverter (primary device) fails, the operation of the entire WSD chain is interrupted.

For installation, see WSD (wired shutdown) on page (→).

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

Central grid and system protection

The inverter offers the option to use the integrated AC relays as coupling switches in conjunction with a central grid and system protection unit (in accordance with VDE-AR-N 4105:2018:11 §6.4.1). For this purpose, the central trigger device (switch) must be integrated into the WSD chain as described in the chapter "WSD (Wired Shut Down)".

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

RCMU

The inverter is equipped with a universal current-sensitive residual current monitoring unit (RCMU = Residual Current Monitoring Unit) in accordance with IEC 62109-2 and IEC63112.
This device monitors residual currents from the PV module to the AC output of the inverter and disconnects the inverter from the grid in the event of unauthorised residual current.

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

Surge protective device

The inverter is equipped with an integrated surge protective device on the DC and AC side in accordance with IEC 62109-2. The surge protective device protects the system against damage in the event of a surge.

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

Surge protective device (SPD)

 

The surge protective device (SPD) protects against temporary overvoltages and dissipates surge currents (e.g. lightning strike). Building on an overall lightning protection concept, the SPD helps to protect your PV system components.

 

If the surge protective device is triggered, the colour of the indicator changes from green to red (mechanical display).

A tripped SPD must be replaced immediately by an authorised specialist company with a functioning SPD in order to maintain the full protective function of the unit.

 

There is the option of a digital indication when an SPD has tripped. For setting this function, see PDF "Temporary SPD Triggering" in the Service & Support area at www.fronius.com

IMPORTANT!
After setting the function described above, the inverter will also respond if the 2-pole signal cable of the surge protective device is interrupted or damaged.

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

AFCI – Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (ArcGuard)

Available ex works.

AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protects against arcing faults and in the narrower sense is a protection device against contact faults. The AFCI evaluates any faults that occur in the current and voltage curve with an electronic circuit and switches off the circuit when a contact fault is detected. This prevents overheating on poor contacts and possible fires.

IMPORTANT!
Active solar module electronics can interfere with the function of the ArcGuard. Fronius does not guarantee the correct functioning when using Fronius ArcGuard in combination with active solar module electronics.

CAUTION!

Danger due to incorrect or unprofessional DC installation.

This can result in risk of damage and, in turn, risk of fire to the PV system due to inadmissible thermal loads that arise with an arc.

Check that plug connections are in good condition.

Repair incorrect insulation as appropriate.

Complete connections as per the specifications.

IMPORTANT!
Fronius will not accept any costs associated with production downtimes, installer costs, etc., that may arise as the result of a detected arc and its consequences. Fronius accepts no liability for damage that can occur despite the presence of the integrated Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter/extinguishing system ( e.g. caused by a parallel arc).

Automatic reconnection
To restart the AFCI, no manual procedure is required if a minimum interruption time of 5 minutes is ensured before continuing operation.
When interrupting for the fifth time within a 24 h period, the AFCI is only allowed to be reset manually before the AFCI does reconnect. Afterwards, the AFCI may return to automatic reconnection mode.

  1. General information
  2. Protection of people and equipment

Safe state

If one of the following safety devices trips, the inverter will change to a safe state:

  • WSD
  • isolation measurement
  • RCMU and
  • AFCI

In the safe state, the inverter no longer feeds into the grid and is disconnected from the grid by opening the AC relays.

Regulations governing the photovoltaic system

The inverter is designed to be connected and used exclusively in conjunction with solar modules.
Use of the inverter with other DC generators (e.g. wind generators) is not permitted.

When designing the photovoltaic system, ensure that all of its components are operated within their permitted operating ranges at all times.

Observe all the measures recommended by the solar module manufacturer to ensure that the solar module retains its properties in the long term.

  1. General information

Functional principle

Functional principle

The inverter operates fully automatically. As soon after sunrise as there is sufficient energy available from the solar modules, the inverter starts checking the PV system (insulation measurement), and the grid (grid voltage and grid frequency). If all values are within the normative scope, automatic connection to the grid and feeding of energy into the grid takes place.

The inverter works in a way that ensures the maximum power possible is obtained from the solar modules. This is known as "Maximum Power Point Tracking" (MPPT). In the event of shading of the solar modules, the function "Dynamic Peak Manager" can be used to obtain the majority of the local maximum output (LMPP) of the PV system.

After dusk, as soon as the power available has fallen below the level at which energy can be fed into the grid, the inverter disconnects the power electronics completely from the grid and stops running. It retains all its settings and stored data.

  2. Functional principle

Cooling of the inverter through forced-air ventilation

Cooling of the inverter is performed by a forced-air ventilation system via temperature-controlled fans. Air is sucked in from the front and fed, via a sealed duct, through the AC and DC heat sink, before passing directly over the inductors and dissipating.
The sealed air duct prevents the electronics compartment from coming into contact with the ambient air. This approach largely prevents any contamination of the electronics compartment.
The fan speed and temperature of the inverter are monitored.

The variable-speed, ball-bearing mounted fans in the inverter permit the following:

  • Optimum cooling of the inverter
  • Cooler components, therefore a longer service life
  • Lowest-possible energy consumption
  • High output power including in top temperature range of the inverter
  1. General information
  2. Functional principle

Power derating

If the inverter becomes too hot, it automatically reduces the current output power in order to protect itself. Reasons for the inverter becoming too hot include too high an ambient temperature or inadequate heat dissipation (e.g. when installed in containers without proper heat dissipation measures).

A power derating system restricts the output from the inverter in order to prevent the temperature from exceeding the permissible value.
If a maximum temperature is exceeded, the inverter switches off in a safe state and does not resume feeding energy into the grid until the device has cooled down.

Installation location and position

Choosing the location of the inverter

Please note the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:

Only install on a solid, non-flammable surface

Max. ambient temperatures: -40 °C / +65 °C
* with built-in AC disconnector option: -35 °C / +65 °C

Relative humidity: 0 - 100%

When installing the inverter in a switch cabinet or similar closed environment, it is necessary to make sure that the hot air that develops will be dissipated by forced-air ventilation.

When installing the inverter on the outer walls of cattle sheds, it is important to keep a minimum clearance of 2 m between all sides of the inverter and air vents and building openings.

The following surfaces are permissible for installation:
  • Walls (corrugated metal walls [mounting rails], brick walls, concrete walls, or other non-flammable surfaces sufficiently capable of bearing loads)
  • Poles (installed using mounting rails, behind the solar modules directly on the PV mounting system)
  • Flat roofs (if this is for a film roof, make sure that the films comply with the fire protection requirements and are not highly flammable. Observe the national regulations.)
  • Covered car park roofs (no overhead installation)

The DC disconnectors must always be freely accessible after installation of the inverter.

 

The inverter is suitable for indoor installation.

 

The inverter is suitable for outdoor installation.

Because of its IP 65 protection class, the inverter is resistant to water jets from any direction and can also be used in damp environments.

 

The inverter is suitable for outdoor installation.

To keep the heating of the inverter as low as possible, it is better not to expose the inverter to direct sunlight. Mount the inverter in a protected location, for example below the solar modules or under a roof overhang.

 

IMPORTANT! The inverter must not be installed or used at altitudes above 4000 m.

 

Do not install the inverter in:

  • Areas where it may be exposed to ammonia, corrosive gases, acids or salts (e.g. fertiliser storage areas, vent openings for livestock stables, chemical plants, tanneries, etc.)

 

Due to the noise generated by the inverter under certain operating conditions, it should not be installed close to living areas.

 

Do not install the inverter in:

  • Areas where there is an increased risk of accidents from farm animals (horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.)
  • Stables or adjoining areas
  • Storage areas for hay, straw, chaff, animal feed, fertilizers, etc.
  • Storage or processing areas for fruit, vegetables or viticulture products
  • Areas used in the preparation of grain, green fodder or animal feeds

 

The inverter is designed to be dust-tight (IP 65). However, in areas with high dust accumulation, the cooling surfaces may collect dust and this may impair the thermal performance. In such cases, regular cleaning is required. Consequently, we do not recommend installation in places and environments with strong dust formation.

General comments regarding PV modules

To enable suitable PV modules to be chosen and to use the inverter as efficiently as possible, it is important to bear the following points in mind:

  • If insolation is constant and the temperature is falling, the open-circuit voltage of the PV modules will increase. The open-circuit voltage must not exceed the maximum permissible system voltage. If the open-circuit voltage exceeds the specified values, the inverter will be destroyed and all warranty claims will be forfeited.
  • The temperature coefficients on the data sheet of the PV modules must be observed.
  • Exact values for sizing the PV modules can be obtained using suitable calculation tools, such as the Fronius Solar.creator.

IMPORTANT!
Before connecting up the PV modules, check that the voltage for the PV modules specified by the manufacturer corresponds to the actual measured voltage.

IMPORTANT!
The PV modules connected to the inverter must comply with the IEC 61730 Class A standard.

IMPORTANT!
Solar module strings must not be earthed.

Fronius Solar API

The Fronius Solar API is an IP-based, open JSON interface. When enabled, IOT devices on the local network can access inverter information without authentication. For security reasons, the interface is deactivated at the factory and must be activated if it is required for a third-party application (e.g. EV charger, smart home solutions, etc.) or the Fronius Wattpilot.

For monitoring, Fronius recommends using Fronius Solar.web, which provides secure access to inverter status and production information.

When performing a firmware update to version 1.14.x, the setting of the Fronius Solar API is adopted. The Solar API is activated for systems with a version below 1.14.x. Above this version it is deactivated but can be switched on and off in the menu.

  2. Safety and grid requirements

Feed-in limitation

Due to hardware restrictions, the Fronius Tauro cannot reduce the power to 0%, but only to 0.5 to 1%.

Electricity retailers or grid operators can prescribe feed-in limits for an inverter (e.g. max. 70% of the kWp or max. 5 kW).
The feed-in limitation takes into account the self-consumption in the household before the power of an inverter is reduced:

There are two options for the feed-in limit:
  1. Simple power reduction of an inverter using Fronius Smart Meter
  2. Power reduction by external plant controller

The following formulas provide guidance as to which solution may apply:
PWRn ... Inverter power n

0% PWR1 + 100% PWR2 + 100% PWR3... ≤ Feed-in limit → Solution a)

0% PWR1 + 100% PWR2 + 100% PWR3... > Feed-in limit → Solution b)

Solution a) - Power reduction of a single inverter.
The specifications can be met if the prescribed feed-in limit is achieved by reducing the power of a single inverter to ≥ 0%.

Example:
there are 3 inverters in a system: 1x Fronius Tauro 100 kW, 2x Fronius Tauro 50 kW. The specified feed-in limit at the transfer point must not exceed 100 kW.

Solution:
the Fronius Tauro can be regulated to 0% output power to meet the feed-in limit. The outputs of the other two inverters are not reduced and can feed in at any time without restriction.

If the power reduction of an inverter to 0% is not sufficient, solution b) must be applied.

Solution b) - Integration of a plant controller.
This solution is used if the specifications of the grid operator cannot be met by limiting a single inverter, or if permanent access (e.g.: remote shutdown) is required. In this case, the integration of a PLANT CONTROLLER is recommended.

A detailed technical overview of this solution can be found at www.fronius.com under the keyword "feed-in management".

To benefit from the advantages of Fronius Solar.web, in addition to the monitoring function of the PLANT CONTROLLER SYSTEM a Fronius Smart Meter can also be installed. The integration of a Fronius Smart Meter ensures that the load and feed-in data of the PV system are visualised in Fronius Solar.web and are available for analysis.
