monitoring
System can self-protect from poor quality grid power
and recover when quality improves.
Automatic grid disconnects
during a power outage
For safety, the system automatically disconnects from
the grid during a power outage to prevent PV being
exported to the network.
Internal overload protection
The system will self-protect if it detects excessive heat
or excessive internal currents.
Critical setting protection
Critical system settings may only be changed by
electrically qualified personnel.
Ground fault and insulation
monitoring
Electrical safety for all parts of your system.
System limitations
Your Smart Inverter will not operate during a power outage:
• If your inverter detects a grid power outage (a blackout) it
automatically disconnects from the grid and deactivates itself. This
is to protect from unexpected discharge into the grid which would
pose a hazard to service personnel.
• During a blackout, PV is not available for household consumption.
• Your inverter will automatically restart when grid power is restored.
Your system is not suitable for:
• Off-Grid installations (where the grid is intentionally disconnected).
• Locations without internet access: the system can work off-line, but you will be unable to review consumption or
performance; or make informed decisions about system settings or consumption patterns. Warranty support will also
be affected.
• Prediction of your energy bills. The Redback meter is a Class 1 meter: it provides a good indication of energy
consumption; however, readings may vary slightly from the Network meters used for billing.
• Use with generators.
