Procedure:
1. In the parameter group
Device > Operation
, select the parameter
Operating mode of the
battery-backup system
and set it to
Automatic
so that the battery-backup operation is
activated automatically in the event of a grid failure.
2. Set the parameter
Minimum width of backup power area
in the parameter group
Battery
> Areas of application
. The value indicates the percentage of battery charge to be retained
for battery-backup operation. This battery charge cannot be used in parallel grid operation.
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends to set a value between 10 and 30.
9.16 Power Supply of Backup Loads in Parallel Grid
Operation
In parallel grid operation, the backup loads can be supplied from the utility grid as long as the
amperage and voltage of the backup loads' circuits are within the permitted range.
If the current exceeds 20 A, a Smart Connected message is sent in any case. If the current exceeds
22 A, the contactor between the backup loads and the utility grid is opened after a tripping time
that depends on the level of the current. The contactor is then automatically tested. If the test is
successful, the contactor is closed again and the backup loads can continue to be supplied from the
utility grid.
