When working on the PV generator, it is also necessary to switch off the DC voltage with the external DC isolator switch (e.g. at the string combiner or the KACO DC switchbox) in addition to disconnecting the PV generator from the grid.
The potential-free relay contact closes as soon as there is a fault during operation. You use this function, for example, to signal a fault visually or acoustically. KACO blueplanet 87.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 92.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 110 TL3 KACO blueplanet 125 TL3 Page 9...

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.

Enhanced island detection method The enhanced island detection of KACO new energy, employs a strategy to reliably detect island formation that is based on the characteristic differences between an interconnected grid and an islanded grid, thus ensuring reliable fast detec- tion and prevention of false tripping.
