6 FAQs about [Single-phase grounding fault of photovoltaic inverter]
Does a single phase PV inverter have a fault condition?
In addition to the three-phase PV inverter, in Gonzalez et al. (2018), a single-phase PV inverter (3.2 kVA) is investigated under fault condition when operating with grid-connected functionality. During a fault, the voltage at the PCC of the single-phase PV inverter also reaches 0.05 pu, and the test results are summarized in Table 7.
Can a PV inverter withstand a ground fault?
As such, the test plan used is designed to isolate the response of the PV inverter to a ground fault, and not to exactly simulate the wide range of ground fault conditions possible on real distribution feeders.
What is a fault current in a PV inverter?
In these tests, faults are also caused at the PCC of the PV inverter, leading the voltage to reach 0.05 pu. The first ½ cycles fault current ranges from 1 to 1.2 times the pre-fault current (1 pu). By comparing Tables 4 and 6, it can be seen that the PV inverter model investigated in Gonzalez et al. (2018) is in agreement with the generic group.
What causes a ground fault in an inverter 2?
As mentioned above, Inverter 2 showed two types of ground fault responses. In one type, it stopped exporting very quickly following a relatively larger voltage spike (possible tripping on overvoltage or on dv/dt).
How many single-phase PV inverters with 240 V output voltage?
The results obtained by practical experiments with six single-phase PV inverters with 240 V output voltage are described in Keller et al. (2011). Table 9 lists the average value (fault current magnitude and “trip time”) of the six tests performed on each PV inverter.
How does a PV inverter protect against a grid fault?
Protective relay functions are built directly into the PV inverter. A PV inverter does not have any mechanical inertia. During a grid fault condition, the inverter short circuit current is equivalent to its rated current and the inverter disables its operation within one or a few cycles.
