FAQS 4

How to prevent overvoltage?

A measure commonly used in the national power system to prevent overvoltage is the use of overvoltage protections implemented in PV installation inverters.

What are the overvoltage requirements?

Table 1 summarizes the overvoltage requirements that apply to equipment in the various categories according to the working voltage, or nominal voltage. Note that interpolating the nominal voltage is not allowed. Hence, equipment to be operated at 250 V in a category II application must be designed for overvoltage transients up to 2500 V.

Why is the protection level at the inverter increased?

In addition, the protection level at the inverter is increased if the overvoltage occurs at one of the other strings. When excessive voltage is applied, voltage falls via the cable inductance. If the arrangement is not ideal, the protection level at the inverter is increased (see Fig. 6).

Can lightning protection be combined with SMA inverters?

Also, special features of combining overvoltage protection devices with SMA inverters are described. The document covers lightning protection in as far as it influences overvoltage protection. Lightning protection systems are intended to prevent damage to buildings from lightning strikes.
