Technical FAQs 4

How do I know if my inverter is overvoltage?

Review inverter parameter settings related to DC bus management. Examine the pre-charge circuit and DC bus capacitors for faults. Verify voltage sensing and feedback components. Edge Cases: Some inverters will trip or issue an overvoltage fault if the DC bus exceeds a threshold (e.g., 800 V on a 400 V-class inverter).

Can a DC inverter cause a voltage spike?

Some inverters allow adjustment of DC bus voltage targets or thresholds. Incorrect configuration can result in higher than normal bus voltage. The pre-charge circuit limits inrush current and gradually charges the DC bus capacitors. If malfunctioning, it can cause voltage spikes.

Why do inverters trip if DC bus voltage exceeds a threshold?

Some inverters will trip or issue an overvoltage fault if the DC bus exceeds a threshold (e.g., 800 V on a 400 V-class inverter). In multi-inverter systems sharing a DC bus, regeneration from one unit can affect others. Solar or battery-connected inverters may have intentionally higher DC bus voltages for MPPT or efficiency reasons.

Can a DC inverter overvoltage be measured?

One thing to keep in mind with the overvoltage fault is that it only happens instantaneously at a certain time. Therefore you can only monitor the DC bus voltage stored on the inverter at the time of failure, it is not possible to measure the overvoltage at this time.
