can we disconnect neutral wire from ac connection at **** 50 tl3 in T-T system

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
March 16, 2025

No, in a TT system, the neutral wire is required for proper operation and must not be disconnected from the AC connection. The manual specifies that the AC connection follows a five-conductor wiring scheme, which includes the neutral wire. Disconnecting it could cause malfunction or unsafe operation.

    Some grid connection rules insist that the agreed reactive power be supplied from every operating point of the plant without a reduction in the actual active power. Considering the fact that all KACO TL3 inverters have a semi-circular P-Q operating range, a reduction in the active power is, however, required during operation at maximum active power be- cause an apparent power reserve is not available.
