Technical FAQs 4

Why is inverter protection important?

Inverters are commonly used in renewable energy systems, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to convert the DC power generated by these sources into AC power that can be used in homes and businesses. Inverter protection is important to ensure the longevity and reliability of the inverter.

What are the protection functions of a solar inverter?

The protection functions are as follows: The overcurrent protection should be set on the AC output side of the solar inverter. When a short circuit is detected on the grid side, the solar inverter should stop supplying power to the grid within 0.1 second and issue a warning signal.

How do I protect my inverter from overloading?

Both scenarios can be dangerous and cause significant damage to inverters. Protection against these involves the use of circuit breakers and fuses that automatically disconnect the circuit when excessive current is detected. These protective devices must be installed on both the AC and DC sides of the inverter.

Why do inverters need over-temperature protection?

Inverters naturally generate heat during operation due to the conversion of DC to AC power and the resistance in electrical components. If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, it can lead to component failure, reduced efficiency, or permanent damage. Over-temperature protection is crucial in preventing these issues.
