Power  

limitation

NOTE:

 The output power of the inverter can be set per-

manently to a lower value than the maximum output 
power by the internal power limitation. 

This may be necessary in order to limit the maximum 
power rating of the system at the grid connection 
point, upon the grid operator's request.

The value can be protected from the very first power 
limitation entry. After setting a limitation, the value can 
only be changed by entering a device-specific pass-
word. 

1. Activate or deactivate password protection

2. Specify activation status (on/off )

3. Specify limit value for maximum feed-in

power

4. Confirm the entry with the Enter button.

Powador-protect

NOTE:

 Configures the support for grid shutdown by a 

Powador-protect connected to the digital input of the 
inverter.

 

For Auto/On:  A Powador-protect is operating in 
the photovoltaic system and is connected to the 
inverter at the digital input/output.

 

"

Auto: The inverter automatically detects a Pow-
ador-protect integrated into the photovoltaic 
system.

 

"

On: The digital signal of the Powador-protect must 
be present at the digital input of the inverter for 
the inverter to begin feed-in.

 

"

Off: The inverter does not check whether a Pow-
ador-protect is integrated into the PV system.
