Quick Answer
Sol-Ark's overload protection involves an internal circuit breaker that trips under excessive loads, preventing system damage. The breaker's trip point is adjustable through Sol-Ark's software, allowing users to set a custom threshold.
Automatic Overload Protection
Sol-Ark’s 12K and 15K models utilize an advanced algorithm to detect and respond to overloads. In the event of an excessive load, the system automatically trips the internal circuit breaker, disconnecting the affected circuit. This prevents damage to the inverter and protects the rest of the system. The breaker’s trip point is adjustable via Sol-Ark’s software, allowing users to customize the threshold to suit their specific needs.
Configuring Overload Protection
To set the trip point, users must access the Sol-Ark software and navigate to the “Settings” menu. From there, they can adjust the breaker’s trip point to a value between 100% and 110% of the inverter’s rated capacity. For example, if the system is rated for 12,000 watts, the trip point can be set between 12,000 and 13,200 watts. This allows users to fine-tune the system’s response to overloads and ensure reliable operation under various load conditions.
Monitoring Overload Events
Sol-Ark’s software also provides real-time monitoring of overload events, allowing users to track and analyze system performance. The software displays detailed logs of overload events, including the date, time, and duration of the event, as well as the affected circuit and the breaker’s trip point. This information enables users to identify potential issues and make informed decisions about system maintenance and upgrades.
