Status
active

Inverters and battery systems can be set to stop operating when meter readings show grid voltage above one of several overvoltage trip levels, each with its own threshold and timeout. Some inverters also trip on a moving average of grid voltage, with a separate trip time for that filtered value. The high voltage trip threshold is set as a percentage of nominal voltage. After a trip, the unit reconnects only when grid voltage drops below a maximum reconnect or recovery voltage setting. A reconnect or recovery timer must also run out after the grid comes back inside the allowed voltage and frequency windows. Only then does the unit start producing again.
