RIDE-THROUGH CAPABILITIES
FRONIUS PRIMO 3.8-1 – 8.2-1
Fronius International GmbH
hereby confirms, that the inverters
/ Fronius Primo 3.8-1 208/240, 5.0-1 208/240, 6.0-1 208/240, 7.6-1 208/240, and 8.2-1 208/240
Are capable of meeting the following ride-through and trip settings:

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 50 – 65 Hz.
At a voltage drop down to 50% of the nominal voltage the inverter is capable of staying connected for at least
21 sec.
At a frequency drop down to 55 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 Primo 8.2-1 208/240 to verify ride-through
behavior based on voltage and frequency variation tests described as follows. Other Primo 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.
