– 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 device is intended for indoor and outdoor applications and may only be used in countries for which it has been ap- proved or for which it has been released by KACO new energy and the grid operator. Operate the device only with a permanent connection to the public power grid. The country and grid type selection must be commensurate with the respective location and grid type.

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. Page 12 blueplanet 125 TL3 US blueplanet 155 TL3 US blueplanet 125 TL3 US GEN2 blueplanet 155 TL3 US GEN2...

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.

The PV generator converts radiant energy from sunlight into electrical energy. String combiner A string combiner can be connected to the KACO device to bundle the DC strings. *) If the supply line from the PV generator to the device is longer, the string com- biner can also be installed near the PV generator.

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.

– In case of maintenance work in a distribution grid, personnel may be placed in danger if the deactivated part of the grid remains live as an island. This is especially the case if not all safety rules are followed. Page 98 blueplanet 125 TL3 US blueplanet 155 TL3 US blueplanet 125 TL3 US GEN2 blueplanet 155 TL3 US GEN2...

Enhanced island detection method KACO new energy's advanced islanding detection, uses a strategy to reliably detect islanding 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.
