In order to allow inverter operation in safe thermal and electrical condi-
tions, the unit automatically reduces the value of the power fed into the
grid.
Power limiting may occur due to:
• Adverse environmental conditions (thermal derating)
• Percentage of output power (value set by the user)
• Grid voltage over frequency (mode set by user)
• Grid overvoltage U>10min Der. (enabling carried out by user)
• Anti-islanding
• Grid under voltage
• Input voltage values too high.
• High input current values.
The power reduction value and the inverter temperature at which it oc-
curs depend on the ambient temperature and on many operating para-
meters.
Example: input voltage, grid voltage and power available from the pho-
tovoltaic field.
The inverter can therefore reduce the power during certain periods of the
day according to the value of these parameters.
In any case, the inverter guarantees the maximum output power even at

high temperatures, provided the sun is not shining directly on it.
