Selecting the correct grid code is important in order to
comply with the local and national standards.
It is possible to create customer-specific grid code files
with adjusted set values (see Section 3.2.4).
3.2.2 Switching on the PV
Load-Break Switch
Figure 3.2. PV load-break switch
Switch on the PV load-break either via inverter or PV array
junction box.
3.2.3 Commissioning
The inverter starts automatically if sufficient solar irradiation
is available. Commissioning takes a few minutes. During this
period, the inverter performs a self-test.
INFORMATION
The inverter is protected against short-term reverse
polarity. The inverter does not generate feed-in
power until any reverse polarity is corrected.
Prolonged reverse polarity leads to a failure of the inverter
and thus will void the warranty.
• Make sure that the cables are correctly connected to
the inverter.
Installation Guide
3.2.4 Grid Code File
INFORMATION
If the desired grid code is not available, or if the LCS
tool displays a warning about incompatible software
versions, the grid code and software library must be
updated on the LCS tool.
It is possible to create customer-specific grid code
files with adjusted set values. For this purpose, please
contact SMA Technology AG.
3.2.5 Configuring the Fallback
If the communication between the inverter and the SMA
Inverter Manager is interrupted, the inverter switches to a
previously defined operating state (Fallback). The desired
operating state when communication is interrupted, can be
activated and configured with the customer-specific grid
code file.
INFORMATION
Observe the specifications of your electric utility
company.
