If the applicable grid code requires the cos-φ response to set point by a defined gradient or settling time slower than the configured Tau=200ms, this gradient or settling time must be implemented in the plant control system.

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.

In the event of active stage 1, the device switches to zero current mode, and re- starts the infeed after a few 100ms. At stage 2, the device has shut down and the set reconnection conditions apply.
