Over/Under Voltage Fluctuations

*“Trip time” refers to the time between the abnormal conditions being applied and the inverter

ceasing to energize the utility line.

Over/Under Frequency Disturbances

Small renewable energy systems are allowed to sell within a fixed frequency range of -0.7 Hz/

+0.5 Hz of the nominal frequency in which they will operate. When the utility frequency is outside the

range of the nominal frequency window, the inverter must cease to energize the utility line within 6

cycles.

Reconnect Delay After a Utility Disturbance

An unacceptable utility event causes the renewable energy system to disconnect from the utility

line. It will remain disabled until acceptable voltage and frequency have been maintained for a

minimum of five minutes. After the 5 minute timer is complete, the inverter is allowed to

automatically reconnect the renewable energy system to the utility.

Islanding Protection

The non-islanding inverter protection features required by UL1741 ensures that the inverter

ceases to energize the utility line when the inverter is subjected to island conditions. As a result,

active control techniques have been incorporated into the SW inverter for detecting potential

dispersed-generation islands.

A utility wishing to ensure against renewable-energy supported dispersed-generation islanding

may require the use of a non-islanding inverter. Trace™ has designed the new software protection

system to comply with the requirements of the non-islanding inverter section of UL1741.

Over-current Protection

The Trace™ SW Series inverters also include over-current protection for the inverter system.

This protective system is used if the inverter attempts to power too large of a load or if the inverter

loses synchronization with the utility grid.  This protective system is implemented with redundant

systems in analog hardware, microprocessor software and with a mechanical device (circuit

breaker).  This insures the inverter is protected from damage and can not create an unsafe fault

condition to the utility or residence.
