Technical FAQs 4

What is a Sunshine grid tie power inverter?

Sunshine Grid Tie Power Inverter is the world's most technologically advanced inverter for use in utility-interactive applications. This manual details the safe installation and operation of the Sunshine Grid Tie Inverter.

How to measure inverter current?

The inverter current is measured on both DC positive and DC negative bus using shunt resistors. The INA149 current sense amplifier with a common mode voltage range of 275 V is used to measure current on DC positive bus. Current on DC negative bus is sensed using precision op-amps.

How do different inverters handle ground?

Unfortunately, different inverters can handle ground differently so there can be no simple statement on how they handle it. They all tie the AC-out Equipment Grounding Conductor to the case. Inverters that have an AC in (Such as inverter-Chargers) all tie the AC-in Equipment Grounding Conductor to the case.

What is shunt-based ground fault protection for inverter-based drives?

Shunt-Based Ground Fault Protection for Inverters Powered from 100/110-V AC Supply (Rev. A) This TI design provides a reference solution for detecting ground fault in inverter-based drives. The inverter current is measured on both DC positive and DC negative bus using shunt resistors.
