6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter overcurrent]

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.

Does a PV inverter have overvoltage protection?

The inverter is manufactured with internal overvoltage protection on the AC and DC (PV) sides. If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system.

Do photovoltaic power systems need overcurrent protection?

Photovoltaic power systems, like other electrical power systems, require overcurrent protection for conductors, bus bars, and some equipment. However, some of the electrical sources in PV systems are unique when compared with the typical utility source provided by the utility grid.

Do PV circuits need overcurrent protection?

Some PV circuits differ from that general rule. Since several pieces of PV equipment such as PV modules, dc-to-dc converters, charge controllers and interactive inverters have current-limited outputs, circuits connected to those devices as sources require special consideration with respect to overcurrent protection.

Can a PV module be connected without an overcurrent device?

Possible cost savings. Two strings of PV modules may be connected to a single utility-interactive inverter input without an overcurrent device if the inverter cannot backfeed currents into the dc array wiring. The amount of inverter backfeed current, or lack thereof, is (or should be) included in the inverter specifications.

How to avoid over current in PV inverters during fault-ride-through period?

Hence, to avoid over current in PV inverters during fault-ride-through period, active power curtailment is necessary. The authors have formulated an expression to evaluate pseudo inverter capacity (PIC) for over current limitation as in (25). $$PIC= \frac {1-VUF} { {u}_ {base}}\times {u}^ {+}\times S$$
