External Grid Monitoring Relay; Fault Ride-Through Tripping Curve - ABB PVS980-58 Firmware Manual

External grid monitoring relay


Depending on the installation, an external third party-certified grid monitoring relay may be
used. If an external relay is used, loose limits for grid monitoring should be set. The
recommended setting for the overvoltage monitoring limit is 130%. The limit for
undervoltage monitoring should be set as less than the external relay setting.
The inverter can use external grid monitoring through the parameter
that can be written, e.g., by fieldbus. If this parameter has a value of 1, external grid
monitoring indicates an unstable grid.

Fault ride-through tripping curve


The fault ride-through (FRT) tripping curve function is an extra undervoltage and
overvoltage tripping function. The function programs a curve where the inverter
disconnects from the grid. The grid codes define the inverter behavior during a grid fault.
Typically, they specify the following:
•
how long a dip can last for
•
how long a swell can last for
•
how to behave with symmetrical voltage dips and peaks
•
how to behave with asymmetrical voltage dips and peaks.
There are two different cases of FRT function:
•
Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT), see page
•
High-voltage ride-through (HVRT), see page 22.
The FRT function can be enabled with parameter
