Overcurrent and undervoltage cut-out

General

The Fronius String Control 250/30 has a cut-out function that interrupts the power supply
in the Fronius Solar Net:
-

in response to overcurrent, e.g. in the event of a short circuit

-

in response to undervoltage

Functional princi-
ple

The overcurrent and undervoltage cut-out does not depend on the current flow direction.
If the String Control 250/30 measures a current flow of > 3 A or a voltage of < 7 V while
supplying Fronius Solar Net components, the power supply in the Solar Net is interrupted.

The power supply can be restored automatically or manually.

Safety

Restoring the
power supply au-
tomatically

Jumper positions:

A

Power supply is restored automati-
cally
(factory default)

M

Power supply is restored manually

Jumper (1) must be set to position A in order to restore the power supply automatically.

-

After cutting out because of overcurrent or undervoltage, the Fronius String Control
250/30 attempts to restore the power supply in the Fronius Solar Net every 5 seconds
while the short circuit, for example, is still present.

-

The 'PWROK' LED (2) flashes briefly every 5 seconds.

-

When the power supply is restored, the 'PWROK' LED lights up green.

If there is no short circuit and the 'PWROK' LED does not light up, the unit has cut out in
response to undervoltage.
In this case, the Fronius DATCOM components must be supplied externally from an exter-
nal power pack.

WARNING! An electric shock can be fatal. Danger from DC voltage in PV mod-
ules.
-

Make sure that both the input side and output side of the device are de-ener-
gised before attaching any connections.

-

All connections must be made by qualified electricians.
