Battery Storage inverter not earhted on AC side
Battery Storage inverter not earhted on AC side
(OP)
Hi,
I came across a design in which a grid tie inverter (110kVA at 415V) is connected to Battery system on DC side. On the AC side the inverter is connected via separate isolation transformer (delta -star). delta on inverter end and Star on utility end. Hence the inverter AC side is ungrounded. If there any minimum requirement stipulated by any standard if any type protection is required between inverter and the isolation transformer. The cable run between between the transformer and inverter is 10m.

There are obviously varying ways to achieve this, its also usually a lot easier with a grounded system and some sort of current protection, but not impossible with an ungrounded scheme. An insulation monitoring scheme might be able to be used. Depending on the level of isolation on the DC bus to the AC stage, a DC ground fault system may also pick up inadvertent grounding on the AC side.
