INVERTER PERFORMANCE Low voltage ride-through capability Capability of the inverter to stay connected to the grid and keep operation following voltage dips or surges. LVRT response at 100% nominal power
INVERTER PERFORMANCE Reactive power control Depending on the grid operator s requirements, the reactive power could be leading or lagging. Reactive power at night: At night, B Series inverters can shift to reactive power compensation mode.
INVERTER PERFORMANCE Power reduction in case of over-frequency Two different ways of reducing the output power in case of over-frequency: A A B B C C Example of power reduction performed by hysteresis Example of power reduction not performed by hysteresis A: frequency level at which power reduction starts. B: frequency level at which power injection returns to its nominal value. C: frequency level at which the PV inverters will stop supplying power to the grid.
INVERTER PERFORMANCE Power reduction in case of over-frequency Some standards require an active power reduction when frequency surpasses a certain threshold. Ingeteam ensures that the reduced output power remains stable at a fix level until the frequency recovers its rated value. Real example of power reduction in case of over-frequency.

SMART GROUNDING KIT Enhanced grounding monitoring system The PV array is grounded via circuit breaker connecting one pole (negative or positive, depending on the PV panel technology) to the ground. This kit will act as a smart monitoring system that will measure every morning the impedance of the PV array and will send an alarm in the event of an insulation failure.
ANTI-PID KIT Solution to avoid the potential induced degradation This kit prevents the degradation caused by stray currents in crystalline modules inside ungrounded photovoltaic systems, that can cause serious power losses. The anti-pid kit consists of a power supply connected between the ground and the negative pole of the PV array that applies a positive voltage to the PV array at night (with the AC contactor opened).

CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Additional protection for the power electronics The power electronics compartment is air cooled by a closed loop. This compartment does not have a direct contact with the outside, nor with any other inverter cabinet.
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Inlet covers for a greater protection The inverter s inlet covers have been designed to enable the closing of the air input, avoiding the entrance of water and dust or sand, thus protecting the inverter before the commissioning and also in case of very adverse climatic conditions, such as sandstorms, hurricanes or cyclones.
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Protection class IP54 / NEMA 3R: Standard version IP56 / NEMA 3: With the sand-trap kit
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Improved air inlet covers Additional protection against water entrance: IP56 / NEMA 3 The air inlet covers will be normally opened, but they can be manually closed in the event of extreme environmental conditions (sandstorms, strong winds, etc.).
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Sand-trap system for a cleaner and safer air intake A sand gravitational filter avoids any kind of particle passing through the air channel. The sand gravitational filter features some vertical channels for particle deposition. The particles fall and form a dry layer inside the picking area.
CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW Sand-trap system for a cleaner and safer air intake Several protection systems to avoid sand and dust entrance in case of sandstorms. The protective covers and the back grills for air extraction can be sealed for a greater protection.
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE Replaceable filters Air filters can be removed in just two steps: 1. Unlock the front locks of the filter holder tray. 2. Extract the filter holder tray horizontally.
