    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.

    General

    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.

    NOTE!

    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.

    Voltage Fault Ride Through

    „Voltage Fault Ride Through“
    Function for handling grid faults (grid voltage drops) as part of dynamic grid backup. Three independent voltage ranges can be set with different behaviours.

    IMPORTANT! A detailed explanation of the settings can be found in the "Advanced Grid Features" section under: LVFRT - Dynamic grid backup during temporary drops in grid voltage.

    VRT Mode

    VRT Mode universally switches on or off

    R1/2/3 Calculation Mode

    Off: Behaviour is equivalent to Passive Mode.
    Passive: During the grid fault the inverter behaves passively, i.e. the same alternating current as before the grid fault is fed into the grid.
    Zero Current: During the grid fault the alternating current is adjusted/reduced to zero. The inverter is not disconnected from the grid.
    Active Nominal Based: during the grid fault a pure symmetrical reactive current (positive-sequence system) is fed into the grid for dynamic grid backup. The active current is adjusted to zero. Calculation according to the formula.
    Active Boundary Based: Currently not supported
    Active Unbalanced Compensation Current (Act. UBCC): During the grid fault any asymmetrical reactive current (positive-sequence system and negative-sequence system) is fed into the grid for optimum phased grid backup. If technically possible, an additional active current is fed into the grid. Calculation according to the formula.

    R1/2/3 Detection Mode (only up to firmware version fro33430.upd)

    Mode like an FRT is identified
    Static: The calculated voltage RMS values are used for grid fault detection. A grid fault is identified when one or more grid voltage RMS values exceed or fall below the set static limit.
    Dynamic: is currently not supported
    PosNorm: The positive-sequence system and negative-sequence system voltages are used for grid fault detection. A grid fault is identified when the combination of positive-sequence system and negative-sequence system voltage exceeds or falls below the set static limit.
    Dynamic: Currently not supported

    R1/2/3 Detection Mode (Standard 50549)

    Determines which voltage system is used to detect a grid fault (voltage drop or voltage surge)
    0 = L-N Voltage
    1 = L-L Voltage

    Fail-Safe

    When starting up the system, the Datamanager and inverter control (ReCerbo PC board) should be synchronised so that both control components are fully ready for use. This allows many problems caused by different system statuses to be avoided.

    For devices without a Datamanager, the setting must be Off, otherwise the device will not start. When using the dynamic feed-in limitation, the "Permanent" setting can be used to prevent unauthorised feed-in during the start-up phase or in the event of a Datamanager fault.

    "Advanced Grid Features": Reactive Power Mode

    General information about reactive power mode

    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:

    • In over-excited mode or capacitive mode, reactive power is supplied to the grid. The grid voltage rises.
    • In under-excited mode or inductive mode, reactive power is taken from the inverter. The grid voltage falls.

    Capacitive mode is shown on the inverter display by a positive sign +.
    Inductive mode is shown on the inverter display by a negative sign -.

    "Advanced Grid Features": VFRT - Dynamic grid backup during temporary drops in grid voltage

    VFRT - Function description

    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.

    The following variants can also be set:
    • Zero Current: during the grid fault the fed-in alternating current is adjusted to zero.
    • Passive: during the grid fault the alternating current is adjusted to the value before the fault (pre-fault current).

    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

    Example of VFRT - Voltage waveshape limiting curves
    • If the voltage is above the limit line (1), the inverter must not switch off.
      Any feeding in of an additional compensation current during the grid fault must be agreed with the grid operator.
    • If the measured voltage is below the limit line (1), the inverter can be disconnected from the grid. The inverter is safely disconnected from the grid according to the set operating times for the inner and outer voltage limit values.

    When the VFRT function is disabled, the inverter does not feed in any dynamic reactive current if the voltage drops rapidly.

    VFRT - Regions

    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 region
    • FRT-Mode (0=off, 1=passive, 2 = zero current, 3 = active nominal based, 4 = active boundary based, 5 = Active Unbalanced Compensation Current)
    • Detection Mode (0 = static, 1 = dynamic, 2 = Uac Pos Norm)
    • Static Limit (voltage in % derived from nominal voltage)
    • Dynamic Limit (voltage in % derived from the nominal voltage)
    • k factor positive sequence for active mode
    • k factor negative sequence for active mode

    If the measured grid voltage is within one of the marked areas (regions), the respective current calculation mode is activated.

    VFRT - K-Factor

    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:
