    – 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.

  • Page 8: Protection Features

    IEC 60364-6 6.4.3.3 describes two options for this case. The first option is to disconnect devices with an over- voltage conductor or, if this is not practicable, then the test voltage can be reduced to 250V. Page 8 KACO blueplanet 110 TL3 KACO blueplanet 125 TL3...

    The device features two RS485-Interfaces. One RS485-Interface is earmarked for communication with a string- combiner-box. This can be controlled using the Modbus RTU protocol. Data loggers that cannot be connected via Ethernet can be connected to the other RS485-Interface. The Sunspec and KACO protocol are supported in this case.
  • Page 11 The PV generator converts the radiant energy of sunlight into electrical energy. String combiner A string combiner can be coupled to the KACO device so that the DC lines can be combined. *) If the supply cable from the PV generator to the device is long, the string combiner can also be installed in the vicinity of the PV generator.

  • Page 91: Other Grid Support Functions Effective On Active Power

    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(PV) full-circular(BI) P-Q operating range, a reduction in the active power is, however, required during operation at maximum active power because an apparent power reserve is not available.
