Technical FAQs 4

What is DC overvoltage fault in inverter?

2.2. DC overvoltage fault The condition of DC overvoltage fault in inverter is that the DC capacitor voltage exceeds maximum allowable voltage Umax and maintains for a period of time, which triggers overvoltage protection and causes the inverter to stop.

How to check if an inverter is overvoltage?

Then measure the input voltage or check the DC bus parameter at fault (you can check this parameter in the monitor parameter set of the inverter). Input overvoltage of the inverter is usually caused by a problem with the substation that increases the voltage at the inverter power supply.

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.

What causes coupling in DC side of photovoltaic inverter?

There are multiple fault causes coupling in DC side of photovoltaic inverter. The changes of voltage, current and power are derived by fault mechanism analysis. The differences of failure feature are used to locate the fault cause.
