User Interface (Grid tab, STATUS view)
This tab shows information on the inverter’s connection to the utility grid. The first item is grid
Status
:
Connected
— grid power is accepted for use. The grid relay is closed. (See page 42.)
Disconnected
— voltage is present at the
G
RID
terminals, but the power is unacceptable or was
manually disconnected. The grid relay is open.
Dropped
— grid power was manually disconnected in the
Actions Menu
. The grid relay is open.
Error
— the inverter has detected a critical problem at the
G
RID
terminals. The grid relay is open.
Not Available
— no voltage (or minimal voltage) is detected at the
G
RID
terminals.
Power
— The net power in watts (W) being imported from, or exported to, the L1 and L2
G
RID
terminals.
Frequency
— The frequency in hertz (Hz) measured at the inverter’s L1 and L2
G
RID
terminals.
Voltage L1
and
Voltage L2
— The voltage in AC volts (Vac) measured at the L1 and L2
G
RID
terminals.
Current L1
and
Current L2
— The current in AC amperes (Aac) measured at the
G
RID
terminals.
XCT Power
— The net exported power in watts (W) measured at the external current transducers.
This will read zero if the transducers are disabled. See pages 27 and 39.
XCT Current L1
and
XCT Current L2
— The current in AC amperes (Aac) measured at the L1 and L2
current transducers. This will read zero if the transducers are disabled. See pages 27 and 39.
Time of Use Status
—
Disabled
,
Off-Peak (Grid)
,
On-Peak (Battery)
. See page 36.
Timer
— The timer that runs when the
Status
is
Connecting
.
Info
— This item lists a series of messages providing additional information to what is shown in
Status
.
A common message is
Grid dropped
. It is equally common for this item to read
None
. When
Error
is
present as a
Status
, the specific name of the error will appear here.
See the
EVENTS
view on page 24 and
Troubleshooting
on page 63 for more information on symptoms
and errors.
-4060 W
NOTE
: The external current transducer (XCT)
fields described in the bullets below will only
appear if the XCT is enabled. (See page 39.)
The current transducers are placed at the main
electrical panel. (See Figure 15 on page 27.)
This point is represented by
A
in this image.
When power flows through
A
from left to right
(to the grid), the XCT readings noted below
will be positive values.
When power at A flows from right to left (from
the grid), the XCT readings will be negative,
as shown in the examples on this page.
