FOTO CONTROL 3f 290
FOTO CONTROL 3f 290 is device for transformation of DC voltage generated on the terminals of the solar panel after impact of photons to three phase AC power grid.
FOTO CONTROL 3f 290 is a transformerless inverter designed for direct connection of a inverter or arbitrary number of parallel ranged inverters on the primary side of the grid transformer with ratio 0.29/22 kV.
Inverters of the FOTO CONTROL 3f 290 family are able to work in wide range of input voltage – voltage of photovoltaic cells within the range from 450 V to 800 V at the rated grid voltage. The selection and structure of particular types is made according to specific solar power plant application. The suitable assignment of mentioned types and their number is an ideal solution for solar power plants with total installed power higher than 1 MW.
The main advantages of using FOTO CONTROL 3f 290:
- high efficiency 98.0 % is achieved by the use of 5th generation modern switching elements and by eliminating the self-consumption to minimum as by using the modern low loss magnetic circuits with amorphous metals and ferrite powder materials
- parallel cooperation of the inverters in an automatic cascade regime
- controlled 4 quadrant rectifier is used as a power converter, which through its control ensures very low share of higher harmonic currents (THDi max. 3%)
- full reactive control, cos φ from 0.00 to 1.00 (normal adjustment: cos φ = 1), up to its full kVA rating
- the controlled rectifier allows the automatic phasing to the three-phase network with adjusting to an instantaneous frequency and voltage
- 100% symmetry of the output power and voltage is ensured without using the „power balancer“ unit
- optimal decentralized solution with the advanta- geous proportion: number of inverters / exploitability of power plant / price
- inbuilt protection elements, inbuilt measurement of isolation state / residual currents
- connectivity of strings in enclosures with outlet DC
- compact unit with inbuilt output contactor disconnection to 10ms after the loss of a phase or unpermitted conditions of electrical grid
- inbuilt AC cut-out switch for disconnection of the device
- simple parallel coupling of inverters for higher power
- indication of kW and produced kWh for chosen time period
- meets the requirements of distribution systems for voltage and current quality, it also meets all relevant security requirements and EMC standards
- design with focus on high reliability and efficiency, lifetime several times exceeds period of returnability period, its lifetime is extended also by using foil capacitors and high quality fans
- possibility of extending the 2 years standard warranty
- communication possibilities for control by superior Control System by RS-485 with communication possibilities over Profibus DP or Modbus RTU
Options:
- telemetry – remote access to the control system of the power plant
- online visualization with secured Internet access over Ethernet, Wi-Fi , 4G
- automatic notice of alarm status and summary report by E-mail, SMS or FTP
- detachable manual graphic control panel
