6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic reverse current protection inverter]

What is over current protection mechanism in PV inverter?

As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter. The triggering of over current protection will lead to disconnection of inverter from the grid which is unfavourable during LVRT period.

What causes reverse current in a photovoltaic module?

The literature provided by manufacturers of photovoltaic modules yield the following figures: Some measurements made in European plants are giving the following figures: A short circuit in a PV module, faulty wiring, or a related fault may cause reverse current in PV strings.

How to provide voltage support in PV inverter?

To provide voltage support at the PCC, reactive power is injected into the grid under fault conditions as per the specified grid codes. As previously discussed, the simultaneous injection of peak active power from PVs and reactive power into the grid for voltage support can trigger the over current protection mechanism in PV inverter.

What causes reverse current in PV strings?

A short circuit in a PV module, faulty wiring, or a related fault may cause reverse current in PV strings. This occurs if the open-circuit voltage of one string is significantly different from the open voltage of parallel strings connected to the same inverter.

What is PV overcurrent protection?

Overcurrent protection, when used, protects PV cells against reverse current and cables against overload. Generally speaking there are three situations that can lead to abnormally high temperatures and the risk of fire in a PV system: insulation fault, a reverse current in a PV module, and overloading cables or equipment.

Can a PV module have a reverse current?

Due to the topology and the control of the switches, no reverse current can flow to a PV module. The Power Optimizers limit current at the PV module input to 20A, depending on the model4. They also limit current at the Power Optimizer DC output circuit up to a constant value of the “Maximum Output Current”.
