SMA STP 15000TL-30 - Commissioning; Commissioning Procedure Overview; Configuring Country Data Set

7 Commissioning
7.1 Commissioning Procedure
Before you can commission the inverter, you must check various settings and make changes if
necessary. This section describes the procedure and gives an overview of the steps, which must
always be performed in the prescribed sequence.
Procedure See
1. Connection to the SMA Speedwire/Webconnect data
module
Installation manual of the
SMA Speedwire/Webcon-
nect data module
2. Check which country data set the inverter is set to. Supplementary sheet with the
default settings, type label or
display
3. If the country data set is not set correctly for your country
or your purpose, adjust to the required country data set.
Section7.2, page31
4. Commission the inverter. Section7.3, page32
7.2 Configuring the Country Data Set
Set the country data set appropriate for your country or purpose within the first tenfeed-in hours via
the rotary switches in the inverter. After the first ten feed-in hours, the country data set can only be
changed by means of a communication product.
The country data set must be set correctly.
If you select a country data set which is not valid for your country and purpose, it can cause a
disturbance in the PV system and lead to problems with the grid operator. When selecting the
country data set, you must always observe the locally applicable standards and directives as
well as the properties of the PV system (e.g. PV system size, grid-connection point).
• If you are not sure which country data set is valid for your country or purpose, contact
your grid operator for information on which country data set is to be configured.
Country data set for operation with external decoupling protection
When operating the PV system with external decoupling protection, the inverter has the
additional country data set Medium-Voltage Directive (Germany) or MVtgDirective. This
country data set allows you to extend the operating range of the inverter for voltage and
frequency. This country data set should only be selected if the PV system is disconnected via
external decoupling.
• If the country data set for operation is set with external decoupling protection, only
operate the inverter with an external three-phase decoupling protection. Without
external three‑phase decoupling protection, the inverter will not disconnect from the utility
grid when the country-specific standard requirement is exceeded.
