Tripping the fast stop
The fast stop should only be tripped in case of imminent danger. Tripping of the fast stop does not entail fast
discharge of the capacitors. If the inverter is to be switched off and properly shut down via an external signal, the
remote shutdown input is to be used.
Fast stop input already assigned for order option "AC contactor"
If the MV Power Station is delivered with order option "AC contactor", the fast stop input for the voltage and
frequency monitoring relay is already assigned. Thus, connecting an external switch is not possible.
13.2.1.2 Remote Shutdown
By means of remote shutdown, you can selectively shut down and switch off the inverter within approximately six
seconds, for example, from a control room. The function of the remote shutdown is similar to the stop function of the
key switch.
If the remote shutdown function is activated from the control room while the inverter is in the operating state "Grid
monitoring", a motor drive automatically shuts off the DC switchgear and the inverter switches to the operating state
"Stop".
If the remote shutdown unit is activated from the control room while the inverter is in the operating state "MPP load
operation", the Sunny Central switches to the operating state "Shutdown". Once shutdown is complete, the AC
contactor and the DC switchgear are switched off automatically and the inverter switches to the operating state "Stop".
The remote shutdown is designed as an open-circuit fail-safe function and must be connected to an external 24 V
supply voltage. If 24 V is present in the remote shutdown, the inverter continues to operate in the current operating
state. If the remote shutdown unit is tripped or if a wire-break occurs, 0 V is present in the remote shutdown unit and the
inverter switches from the current operating state to the operating state "Stop".
Use of the remote shutdown will only be possible if the parameter
ExlStrStpEna
is set to
On
.
13.2.2 Automatic Shutdown Functions
13.2.2.1 Grid Management Shutdown
If the utility grid becomes unstable, grid management requires that the inverter disconnects from the utility grid
immediately to avoid grid overload. In this event a corresponding Modbus signal will be transmitted by the grid
operator or the safety system at the point of interconnection. The inverter disconnects from the utility grid immediately
and displays error message
9013
. After another signal from the grid operator or the safety system at the point of
interconnection, the error will be reset in the inverter.
13.2.2.2 Active Islanding Detection
The islanding detection function detects the formation of stand-alone grids and disconnects the inverter from the utility
grid.
Islanding can occur when at the time of utility grid failure, the load in the shut-down sub-grid is roughly equivalent to
the current feed-in power of the PV power plant.
With active islanding detection, the inverter continuously checks the stability of the utility grid. If the utility grid is intact,
this has no impact on the utility grid. Only if a stand-alone grid has formed will the inverter disconnect from the utility
grid.
To enable the active islanding detection function, contact us (see Section 17 "Contact", page 256).
13.2.2.3 Passive Islanding Detection
The inverter is equipped with passive islanding detection. This function can be activated if required. The islanding
detection function detects the formation of stand-alone grids and disconnects the inverter from the utility grid.
Islanding can occur when at the time of utility grid failure, the load in the shut-down sub-grid is roughly equivalent to
the current feed-in power of the PV power plant.
