Grid Protection Voltage Adjusting

All Sungrow’s inverters are compliant with the standard AS/NZS 4777 related to
grid protection requirements. In order to work with unstable grid, inverters are
equipped with automatic protection voltage adjusting function (disable by
default) and this mode is available to enable by the LCD setting.
OFF (by default): the function is disabled. The grid protection voltage cannot
automatically adjust.
42
ON: enable the protection function. The inverter will automatically adjust the
protection threshold to a higher value so as to be normally connected to the grid
in the event of grid over-voltage.
If the setting is changed from ON to OFF, you should

set the protection voltage as specified in Tab. 7-3 OFF ON
according to actual protection requirements.
If the automatic protection voltage adjusting function is set to ON, the

volt-watt response and the 10-minute over-voltage protection function
will be automatically disabled.
If the line voltage or frequency goes outside pre-determined
