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...

Within a segment, the KACO devices can be coupled to one another via the integrated switch in an Ethernet daisy chain, whereby the segment controller is connected to the first element of the chain. This topology is displayed in segment 2, for example.
Segment Controller. This configuration is shown as an example in segments 1 and M. As can be seen in the figure, a string combiner is assigned to each KACO device. In terms of communication, these are coupled in directly to the device via an RS485 cable (green cable). MODBUS RTU is used as the communication proto- col for this purpose.

The specified displace- ment factor may be configured in the display or via communication, via KACO RS485 protocol and MODBUS/SunSpec. 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.
