IMPORTANT! If the solar module manufacturer has specified that grounding of the solar modules is required, the relevant solar module ground setting must be applied to the inverter. Instructions from the solar module manufacturer on polarity and the required solar module grounding method, as well as national regulations, must be observed.
The solar module can be grounded to the negative pole in the inverter itself. In this case use of a ground fuse (1 A) is mandatory.
IMPORTANT! The fuse in the inverter is not used for grounding the solar modules to the positive pole; this has to take place outside the inverter.

Preconfigured network parameters depend on the country setup. The parameters have been selected to ensure that the inverter is compliant with currently applicable standards.
In special cases, a qualified electrician or Fronius Service Partner (FSP) can adapt preconfigured country-specific limit values to local grid conditions in the Service Pro menu.
The modified limit values are permanently saved by the inverter.
Modifying the monitoring parameters will immediately result in non-conformance of the inverter with the standards and, for this reason, may only be carried out after consulting the responsible grid operator.
To reinstate the original settings on the inverter, select the country setup again (Country Setup Menu - access code = 73887), as described in the User Information.

These parameters can be used to set the behaviour of the Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter at the DC terminals of the inverter. The DC Arc Fault Protection function protects against arcing faults and contact faults. Faults that occur in the current and voltage curve are continuously evaluated and the circuit is switched off when a contact fault is detected. This prevents overheating on faulty contacts and possible fires.

The country setup entered on the inverter ensures that the relevant operating modes and settings for local standards and guidelines are specified.
However, in some situations it may be worthwhile to adapt the preset country-specific operating modes and settings to the local grid situation.
This will help to ensure more reliable operation of the inverter in the grid, while enabling the inverter to actively support the public grid. For this purpose, the grid voltage and grid frequency must be within defined limits.
The voltage and frequency stability can be actively influenced via the inverter by monitoring the feeding of effective power and reactive power into the grid.
Simply decreasing the effective power in order to reduce high grid voltage levels can reduce the energy generated by the photovoltaic system.
One alternative is to switch the reactive power between the inverter and the grid. Even though the reactive power is not consumed or converted into effective power and simply oscillates between the inverter and the grid, the current fed in will increase.
Regardless of the active power and therefore regardless of the energy yield, switching the reactive power can cause the voltage to both rise and to fall:
Capacitive mode is shown on the inverter display by a positive sign +.
Inductive mode is shown on the inverter display by a negative sign -.

For example, fixed values or curves can be specified within the operating range that define the reactive power response of the inverter. Reactive power operation is only possible when a DC supply is present.

The characteristic operating mode for switching reactive power can also be enabled or disabled using the Lock-In / Lock-Out parameters.
If a defined starting threshold is exceeded (Lock-In), the characteristic operating mode is enabled and the inverter feeds in reactive power according to the relevant characteristic.
If a defined starting threshold is undershot (Lock-Out), the characteristic operating mode is disabled regardless of whether another parameter has exceeded or is about to exceed the Lock-In threshold. Lock-Out takes priority over Lock-In.
When the characteristic operating mode is disabled, reactive power is no longer fed into the grid.
GFDPR = Grid Frequency Dependent Power Reduction |
When the GFDPR function is enabled and the defined grid frequency limit value is exceeded, the effective power is reduced according to a defined gradient.
Once the grid frequency falls within the permitted frequency range again following successful power reduction, return to full power takes place depending on the country setup as follows:

At Pred the grid frequency returns to the permissible range.
After the end of the delay time (2) specified by the standard, the power is increased by one of the following gradients to the output value Pm:
Curve 1 - black
The difference between the current power Pm and the reduced power Pred is less than or equal to the value entered for "Alt. Ret. Grad Thr." of 25 % (5).
This increases the power by the nominal output related gradient "Return Gradient 1" (3) to the output value Pm.
Curve 2 - grey
The difference between the current power Pm and the reduced power Pred is greater than the value entered for "Alt. Ret. Grad Thr." of 25 % (5).
This increases the power by the alternative difference power related gradient "alt. Return Grad. 1" (4) to the output value Pm.

The power is then increased by one of the other nominal output related gradients (4) to the device nominal output Pnom.
GVDPR = Gradual Voltage Dependent Power Reduction
(power reduction dependent on the grid voltage)
To largely prevent the inverter being switched off when the grid voltage is too high due to the requirements of various standards and directives, the GVDPR function can be used to slightly reduce the power of feeding in, in accordance with the highest phase voltage.
This makes the yield losses less than they would be if the inverter was completely switched off.

VFRT = Voltage Fault Ride Through
Function for dynamic grid backup during grid faults (voltage drops or rises) in the grid in order to prevent an undesirable shutdown of the feed-in power and the collapse of the system. There are a range of selection options for the function (type of error detection, adjusting the fault limits, optional feeding in of additional compensation reactive currents, etc.).
Inverters with the VFRT function activated are not disconnected from the grid during grid faults (the duration of such grid faults can, depending on the grid voltage change, last between a few 100 milliseconds and a few minutes) and can therefore immediately feed the full power into the grid when the fault is resolved, without having to wait for the restart time.
If required by the electricity retailer (or by a country-specific standard), by adjusting the VFRT function accordingly, the inverter can feed an additional compensation reactive current into the grid during the grid fault for targeted grid backup.
Example of a possible VFRT specification:
Voltage drop up to 0% Uc lasting up to 150 ms
(2) = Time at which failure occurs
Uc = Nominal voltage
U = voltage measured at the terminals of the inverter
When the VFRT function is disabled, the inverter does not feed in any dynamic reactive current if the voltage drops rapidly.

A number of countries differentiate between different grid fault regions, such as the USA and Germany. This means, depending on the extent of the voltage change, a different alternating current calculation method must be used.
This can be achieved by setting what are known as the VFRT regions accordingly. Three individual regions can be configured. A detection limit, a fault detection mode and a current calculation mode can be selected for each region.
The detection limit for a region is a relative voltage level and is specified in percent derived from the AC nominal voltage. Values greater than 100% are handled as HVRT (High Voltage Ride Through), values lower than 100% are handled as LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through).
The following settings can be made for each regionIf the measured grid voltage is within one of the marked areas (regions), the respective current calculation mode is activated.
The graph describes the characteristic of how an additional compensation reactive current is fed into the grid depending on the measured grid voltage.
The upper voltage limit at +10% is the detection limit for VFRT-Region1 (HVRT), the lower voltage limit at -10% is the detection limit for VFRT-Region2 (LVRT1).
Between these two limits (normal voltage range) no grid fault is detected and therefore no additional compensation reactive current is fed into the grid. If the measured grid voltage is below or above the normal voltage range, a compensation reactive current depending on the K-Factor is fed into the grid.
If there is a voltage drop (LVRT), the inverter is overexcited and as a result supports the grid voltage. In the event of overvoltage (HVRT), the inverter is underexcited and as a result counters a voltage rise.
The graph and reactive current characteristic apply to compensation reactive currents in the positive-sequence system and negative-sequence system.
The K-Factor and the upper and lower voltage limits define the voltage level at which feeding in of reactive current is activated and also how high this current value should be.
When the K-Factor = 0, the inverter does not feed any additional reactive current into the grid in the event of a voltage drop.
The K-Factor can be determined from the following graph:
The following calculation rules apply both to positive-sequence system and negative-sequence system compensation reactive currents:
Δ U = U - U0 ; Δ IB = IB - I0
