– 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 105 TL3 KACO Page 9...

In addition to the safety functions, the internal interface switches can also be actuated via the "Inverter Off" input. If a Powador-protect is used as the central interface protection, the fail-safe disconnection of suitable KACO inverters from the public grid can be carried out by the internal interface switches instead of separate interface switches. This re- quires the inverters in the photovoltaic system to be connected to the Powador-protect.
– Close to the ground, accessible from the front and sides without requiring additional resources. – In outdoor areas, KACO new energy recommends protecting the device from direct weather exposure and sunlight. This should be carried out by means of constructional measures (e.g. wind breaks) in order to reduce thermal heating of the components, premature derating and more extensive wear of the fans.

If the type A is used, the insulation threshold must be set to greater than/equal to (≥) 200 kOhm in the “DC parameters” menu [see [See section 9.4.2} Page 52]]. For questions regarding the appropriate type, please contact the installer or our KACO new energy customer service.

Commissioning | 8 Within a segment, it is possible to link KACO devices to one another as part of an Ethernet daisy-chain by way of an integ- rated switch, whereby the Segment Controller is connected at the first element in the chain. For this purposes of an ex- ample, this topology is shown in segment 2.

Fig. 50: Start-up via Segment Controller Area of use The network infrastructure already exists. All of the KACO devices in the segment can be reached via Ethernet using a Seg- ment Controller. NOTE: When multiple Segment Controllers are present, keep in mind that the Segment Controllers must not be connected to one another via the network during start-up.

However, if the interface protection setting limits the voltage-time characteristic curve, then the interface protection will trip and interrupt the ride-through as configured. KACO blueplanet 87.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 92.0 TL3 KACO blueplanet 105 TL3 KACO Page 91...
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. Because KACO devices have the full 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.
– If fast auto-reclosure is used in a distribution grid and the deactivated part of the grid remains live as an island, reclos- ure will likely happen during phase displacement which might cause damage to rotating machinery on the grid.

Enhanced island detection method The new method by KACO new energy, enhanced island detection, employs a strategy to reliably detect island formation that is based on the characteristic differences between an interconnected grid and an islanded grid, thus ensuring reliable fast detection and prevention of false tripping.
