Protections:
1. Over voltage: both input and output
OV-G-V1: 264.0V
OVGV1-T: 0.20S
OVGV2:264V
OVGV2:0.20S
UN-GV1-192V
UNGV2-T:0.20S
P.S: The voltage-operating window should minimize nuisance tripping and should be under operating range of 80% to 110% of the nominal connected voltage. beyond the clearing time of 2 seconds, the Photovoltaic system must isolated itself from the grid
2. Over / Under grid frequency
OVGF1-50.50HZ
OVGF1-T:0.20S
OVGF2-47.50HZ
OVGF2-T:0.20S
P.S: When the distribution system frequency deviates outside the specified limits (50.5 Hz on upper side and 47.5 Hz on lower side) up to 0.2 sec, the Photovoltaic systems shall automatically disconnect from grid and be in island mode.
