About Grid voltage exceeds the limit causing the inverter
The Australian standard for your inverter instructs that it must disconnect from the grid if voltage exceeds 255V for 10 minutes or exceeds 260V for any amount of time. If any of these limits have been breached, the inverter trips and an ‘over-voltage’ error displays.

6 FAQs about [Grid voltage exceeds the limit causing the inverter]
When should a solar inverter disconnect from the grid?
The Australian Standard for Solar Inverters AS4777.1 mandates that an inverter must disconnect from the grid if: So if your inverter trips on an 'over voltage' error, the voltage where the grid connects in to your inverter has breached one or both of these limits.
What happens if an inverter exceeds the voltage limit?
If the inverter records that the 10-minute average exceeds this voltage limit, or if the 260 V limit is temporarily exceeded, it will switch off immediately. The inverter will display a grid error message if this occurs.
What is the maximum voltage rise for an inverter?
The maximum voltage rise for a system must be 4.6V (2%). For example, the local grid may be functioning at 252V, and your inverter is exporting 4V back into the grid pushing it over the grid standard. In 2016, significant changes to AS 4777.2 occurred and a 255V output was set on inverters.
What if the average grid voltage exceeds 260 volts?
The average grid voltage (UAC) at the inverter as measured over a period of 10 minutes is limited to a maximum of 253 V in Germany according to DIN VDE 0126-1-1. If the inverter records that the 10-minute average exceeds this voltage limit, or if the 260 V limit is temporarily exceeded, it will switch off immediately.
What is the grid voltage for a 60038 inverter?
The grid voltage Australian standard AS 60038 is 230V +10% -6%, which is a range of 216V to 253V. The Australian standard for your inverter instructs that it must disconnect from the grid if voltage exceeds 255V for 10 minutes or exceeds 260V for any amount of time.
What happens if a PV inverter is connected to a grid?
Grid Connection Some properties of a PV inverter grid connection can cause the grid voltage at the inverter to increase and exceed the permissible operating range if the feed power is high. If this occurs, SMA grid guard, an independent disconnection device integrated into the inverter, will safely disconnect the inverter from the grid.
