Technical FAQs 4

How many volts can an inverter run?

However, the 4777 standard states that the maximum 10-minute AC over-voltage of an inverter is 258 Volts, (with some grid operators mandating 255 Volts). At this point the inverter must either de-rate or shut down to comply with the standards.

Do inverters comply with Australian grid standards?

All inverters sold within Australia are required to comply with the Australian grid standards. Under the standard, the supply voltage, the power cables, and the inverter must comply with certain voltage limits. Under the standards, the grid voltage must be 230 Volts AC with a tolerance of -6% and +10%.

What happens if an inverter de-Rates or shuts down?

At this point the inverter must either de-rate or shut down to comply with the standards. This can result in a situation where the grid voltage is complaint at 253 Volts, the AC wiring is complaint at 2% voltage rise, and the inverter is compliant at 258 volts. But the inverter is switching off or reducing power.

How many volts should a Sungrow inverter AC output be?

SUNGROW AUSTRALIA GROUP PTY LTD All rights reserved. As we continuously improving our products, changes to this document may occur without notice. In other words, if the supply voltage is at 253 Volts, the inverter AC output must be at least 258 Volts or higher.
