Protecting the converter installation

Protecting the grid cable in short-circuit situations

Equip the cable with fuses. Size the fuses according to local safety regulations, 
appropriate voltage and the rated current of the converter.

Protecting the generator and generator cable in short-circuit 
situations

The converter protects the generator cable and the generator in a short-circuit situation 
when the generator cable is sized according to the nominal current of the converter. No 
additional protection devices are needed. 

Protecting the converter, generator cable and grid cable against 
thermal overload

The converter protects itself, the grid cables and generator cables against thermal 
overload when the cables are sized according to the nominal current of the converter and 
ambient conditions are within the limits specified under 

Ambient conditions

 on page 

113

No additional thermal protection devices are needed.

Protecting the converter against ground faults in the generator or 
generator cable

Both the grid-side converter and generator-side converter are equipped with an internal 
ground fault protective function to protect them against ground faults in the converter itself, 
the generator and generator cable. (This is not a personal safety or a fire protection 
feature.) You can disable both ground fault protective functions (not recommended); refer 
to the firmware manual.

Protecting the converter against ground faults in the converter or 
grid cable

Both the grid-side converter and generator-side converter are equipped with an internal 
ground fault protective function to protect them against ground faults in the converter itself 
and grid cable. (This is not a personal safety or a fire protection feature.) You can disable 
both ground fault protective functions (not recommended); refer to the firmware manual.
