SMA Solar Technology AG
Operating manualSTP50-40-BE-en-1542
Reporting the switching status of the grid relay
The multifunction relay can trip a signal to the grid operator as soon as the inverter connects to the
utility grid. To enable this function, the multifunction relays of all inverters must be connected in
parallel.
