DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING HERE: 


VRT Switch:

Enables or disables the Voltage Ride-Through function.

When enabled, the inverter will continue operating (instead of disconnecting) during brief voltage dips or surges, helping to stabilize the grid.

Use only if required by the local grid code.

 

Zero Current Mode

When enabled, the inverter stops exporting current during specific fault conditions.

Useful in scenarios where the inverter must remain connected to the grid but not inject any power.

Do not enable unless specified by the grid authority.

 

LVRT_02

Low Voltage Ride-Through setting – configures how the inverter behaves during under-voltage conditions.

Works together with other VRT parameters to ensure continued operation under certain low-voltage thresholds.

Adjust only with grid code documentation.

 

VRT_US

U.S.-specific Voltage Ride-Through setting, aligned with UL 1741SA or IEEE 1547 standards.

Enable only if the inverter is operating under U.S. grid compliance regulations.

 

FRT_US

U.S.-specific Frequency Ride-Through setting.

Determines how the inverter responds to abnormal frequency events (over- or under-frequency) in U.S. grids.

Enable only in U.S. installations requiring this feature.

 

LVRT_BRA

Brazil-specific Low Voltage Ride-Through function.

Tailored for compliance with Brazilian grid codes (e.g., ANEEL standards).

Enable only in Brazilian installations.

  

 

 

2.8.11.

Advanced Settings  – Special Function Settings 3

This section includes advanced safety and calibration parameters related to current sensing and insulation monitoring. These settings influence how the inverter detects and responds to abnormal electrical conditions such as leakage currents or insulation faults.

⚠️ Important: Except for IleakLim and RisoLim, the remaining parameters should not be modified by installers. They are factory-calibrated and intended for internal use or R&D-level diagnostics.

IleakLim:

Leakage Current Protection Limit (corresponds to Ileak-PRO04).

Sets the threshold for continuous leakage current monitoring.

Can be adjusted to align with local electrical safety standards.

Installers may adjust this if required by regional electrical codes.

 

RisoLim

Insulation Resistance Protection Limit (PV ISO limit).

Determines the minimum acceptable resistance level between PV inputs and ground.

Helps prevent operation under unsafe insulation conditions.

Installers may adjust this if needed for specific system configurations or compliance.

  

 

 

2.8.12.

Advanced Settings  – EPS Mode (Only for Italy) 

The EPS (Emergency Power Supply) Mode is a country-specific feature designed to meet Italian grid regulations. When enabled, this mode adjusts the inverter’s backup behavior to comply with local requirements.

⚠️ Note: In this mode, the backup port will not be enabled when the grid is available—it only activates during a grid outage.

EPS Switching Time

Range: 10 ~ 99,990 ms
 Defines the delay between a grid failure and the activation of the backup port (EPS output).

  • A shorter time ensures faster switchover but may risk false triggers.
  • A longer time ensures grid-loss is confirmed before switching.

EPS DOD (Depth of Discharge)

Range: 10 ~ 100%
 Sets the minimum battery state of charge that must be maintained for EPS use.

  • Higher values reserve more energy for emergencies.
  • Lower values allow deeper battery usage but may reduce EPS availability.

  

 

 

2.8.13.

Advanced Settings  – Passive Mode

Passive Mode is designed for applications where the inverter must be fully controlled by an external EMS (Energy Management System)—typically in advanced grid service projects such as FCAS (Frequency Control Ancillary Services).

⚠️ Note: When Passive Mode is enabled, the inverter will not actively manage charging/discharging. Instead, it responds solely to EMS commands.

Passive Mode Switch:
 Enables or disables Passive Mode.

FCAS Droop Switch
 Enables frequency droop response, allowing the inverter to adjust power output in proportion to frequency deviations—required for FCAS compliance.

Pcharge / Pdischarge
Set the power limits for charging and discharging under Passive Mode control.

⚠️ Caution: These settings are intended for integration into grid services and should only be configured by professionals familiar with EMS and FCAS requirements.
