situation, the grid quality, the surrounding walls and the properties of the room
in general.
EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for
emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g., when
there is equipment that is susceptible to interference at the same location, or if
the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receiv-
ers). If this is the case, then the operator is obliged to take action to rectify the
situation.
Backup power This system has backup power functions, which enable a replacement power sup-
ply to be established in the event of a failure of the public grid.
Where an automatic backup power supply is installed, a backup power warning
notice (https://www.fronius.com/en/search-page, item number: 42,0409,0275)
must be fitted on the electrical distributor.
Maintenance and installation work in the home network requires both disconnec-
tion on the utility side and deactivation of the replacement power mode by open-
ing the integrated DC disconnector on the inverter.
The function of the residual current devices for the backup power supply must
be checked at regular intervals (according to the manufacturer's instructions),
but at least twice a year.
A description on how to perform the test operation can be found in the backup
power checklist (https://www.fronius.com/en/search-page, item number:
42,0426,0365).
Depending on the insolation conditions and the battery state of charge, the
backup power supply is automatically deactivated and activated. This can cause
the backup power supply to unexpectedly return from standby mode. Therefore,
installation work can only be performed on the home network when the backup
power supply is deactivated.
Influencing factors on the total power in backup power mode:
Reactive power
Electrical loads with a power factor not equal to 1 also require reactive power in
addition to effective power. The reactive power also loads the inverter. Therefore,
to correctly calculate the actual total power, it is not the rated power of the load
that is relevant, but the current caused by effective and reactive power.
Devices with a high reactive power are mainly electric motors such as:
-
Water pumps
-
Circular saws
-
Blowers and fans
High starting current
Electrical loads that need to accelerate a large mass usually require a high start-
ing current. This can be up to 10 times higher than the nominal current. The max-
imum current of the inverter is available for the starting current. Loads with too
high starting currents therefore cannot be started/operated, even though the
nominal power of the inverter suggests that they can. When dimensioning of the
backup power circuit, the connected load power and any starting current must
also be taken into account.
Devices with high starting currents are, for example:
