5.3. Self Test for Italy The Self Test function is only valid for Italy. It tests the inverters’ grid monitoring function of voltage and frequency. The inverter carries out four test sequences, which together takes approximately 2 minutes. The self-test changes the trip values for the voltage and frequency to the current grid levels to determine: • Whether the threshold equals the actual measured grid values. • Whether the inverter is triggered to disconnect from the grid by these limits.
Voltage Monitoring First, the overvoltage monitoring is checked. The voltage trip level is ramped down from the maximum allowed voltage level, 276 VAC, and decreased until it equals the current grid voltage. The time it takes from equalization of the voltage to when the inverter disconnects from the grid is measured. If the sequence is successfully carried out, PASS appears. If FAIL appears, start the test again later.
Frequency Monitoring The inverter repeats the test sequence but with the frequency trip limits. First, the upper frequency trip level is ramped down from the maximum allowed frequency level, 50.3 Hz, and decreased until it equals the current grid frequency. The time it takes from equalization to disconnection is measured.

8. Maintenance This chapter explains how to switch OFF and discharge the inverter safely. It also provides an overview of important regular maintenance procedures to ensure trouble-free operation of the THEIA HE-t inverters. Finally, it is explained how to remove and return the inverters. 8.1. Switch-Off Always turn OFF and disconnect the inverter in the following order prior to maintenance work or repairs: AC Side • Turn OFF the AC circuit breaker(s). DC Side • Turn OFF the DC switch.
8.1.1. Discharge High voltages are still present inside the inverter after the DC switch is switched OFF. For service or maintenance the inverter must be de-energized for either 1 hour, or for at least 10 seconds using an external resistance to quickly discharge the capacitor bank. Prior to the discharge, the inverter upper cover must be removed by loosening the four screws on the back of the inverter.
8.2. Regular System Inspections The THEIA HE-t inverters are manufactured to operate trouble-free for several years. Performing regular maintenance will ensure high efficiency and a long service life. CAUTION: Only qualified persons to perform work inside the inverter! Maintenance work involving removal of the inverter covers must be performed by qualified persons only, due to damage to electrical components and the warranty of the product. 8.2.1.
8.2.5. DC Fuses If a DC fuse blows, a message will appear in the display (See 7.2. Table of Events). DANGER: Never work with live wires! Always disconnect both the DC and AC side before opening the inverter lower cover, due to the risk of electrocution. DANGER: Be aware of power feeding modules! The PV modules feed power when exposed to light and produce hazardous voltages, which are still present at the terminal blocks and fuse holders after switch OFF.
8.2.8. Fan The fan circulates the air inside the inverter, which distributes heat and thereby maintains the conversion capacity. The replacement of the fan requires removal of the inverter lower cover and must be performed by qualified persons only! • A message is shown in the display when the fan needs replacement (See 7.2. Table of Events).
8.2.9. Ventilation The heat sink on the back of the inverter conducts heat away from the electronic components, and must be clean to ensure sufficient cooling performance and thereby prevent yield losses. This is accomplished by using either: • Vacuum cleaner • Soft brush • Compressed air Figure 8.2.4: Heat sink 8.2.10. Varistors (VDR) Varistors have a finite life expectancy, and therefore need regularly inspections (at least once per year).
AC Side • No alarms are raised regarding the condition of the varistors on the AC side. Therefore, they need to be checked regularly (at least once per year) or after lightning strikes. • Replace the damaged varistor with DC Varistor Kit ordered from Eltek Valere, part number 263574. The three varistors on the AC side are located in the right side of the connection area above the AC terminal area. Note the orientation of the varistors if they need to be replaced. Figure 8.2.
8.3. Replace Devices It is possible to add new inverters, or replace existing inverters, in a PV system. Slave • If the replaced inverter is a slave, the master inverter will automatically identify the replaced device, transfer critical settings, and put it into operation. • The device number is automatically maintained. Master • If the replaced inverter is the master and master functionality is desired, an existing inverter must be set up as master. This is done in Setup>Network Setup>Set as Master unit.
9. Warranty This chapter gives a brief introduction to the valid warranty of the THEIA HE-t inverters. The inverters are compatible with all relevant standards and are guaranteed to be free of defects from the date of purchase. 9.1. Warranty Service The standard warranty applies for 5 years after the date of installation, with an optional extension of up to 20 years.
