Note 1: Rapid changes in voltage below 70% L-L generally result in loss of output. Slower ramps can allow inverter to remain on below
70%. The unit is capable of riding through all voltage drops of 50% L-N. Full LVRT functionality will be added via software in 2015.
Additionally, the inverters can meet Return to Service requirements of 60.1 ≥ f ≥ 59.9, 110 ≥ V ≥ 88 and 300 –
600s. The inverters can meet frequency ride-through requirements in the range of 45 – 65 Hz.
At a voltage drop down to 70% L-L of the nominal voltage the inverter is capable of staying connected for at
least 21 sec. At a voltage drop down to 50% L-N of the nominal voltage the inverter is capable of staying
connected for at least 21 sec.
At a frequency drop down to 50 Hz the inverter is capable of staying connected for at least 21 sec. At a
frequency rise of 65 Hz the inverter is capable of staying connected for at least 21 sec.
The trip limits of the inverter have to be set in a way not contradicting this behavior.

To demonstrate this behavior test results are shown in this certificate.
Test Data
Fronius has collected test data on a representative sample of the Galvo 3.1-1 to verify ride-through behavior
based on voltage and frequency variation tests described as follows. Other Galvo power classes were not
tested as the hardware is the same as the model tested
(only peak power output differs).
Each test uses an AC grid simulator to achieve a step or
ramp function depicted at right.
