ADDENDUM
The items listed in this addendum have changed to reflect product compliance with UL1741 First
Edition requirements. The changes only affect 120 VAC/60 Hz units using the SELL mode function
of the inverter/charger. The software revision has changed from 4.01 to 4.10.
Model Numbers Affected:
SW4024, SW4048 and SW5548 (120 VAC/60 Hz models only)
General Information:
The inverter software has been redesigned to meet UL1741 First Edition requirements which
incorporates IEEE929 recommended practices. These requirements have altered voltage and
frequency operating windows and have added a 5 minute grid connect timer delay before selling
power. In addition to user utility interactive changes, the inverter has been approved to meet the
rigorous non-islanding and harmonics analyses initiated by UL1741.
The SELL voltage window is now nonadjustable and locked at 106132 VAC range, indicated by
the inverters LINE TIE LED ON. Any voltage limits programmed in SET INPUT LOWER/UPPER
LIMIT VAC menu item (located under MENU HEADING 11) for input AC1, are displayed, but ignored
when the SELL mode is selected.
The SELL frequency window is nonadjustable and locked at 59.360.5 Hz anytime the inverter
is in SELL mode. This is indicated by the LINE TIE LED ON. For any voltage or frequency condition
outside these specified operating windows, the inverter will disconnect and attempt to reconnect to
the grid when proper voltage and frequency conditions are detected (after a 5 minute wait period
elapses). The inverter will reset the 5 minute timer each time an out-of-bounds condition is detected,
during periods when the AC1 light is blinking or ON.

Mounting
The second paragraph under MOUNTING should read as follows:
Use 1/4" minimum bolts for mounting. The mounting must capable of supporting four times the
weight of the inverter...
Add the following to the second paragraph:
When mounting to a vertical surface, such as a wall, ensure the inverter (or backing
material) is securely mounted to the wall studs for proper support.
Vertical wall mounting with proper access panels in place is the only UL approved
mounting method for fire prevention.

Utility Interactive Mode Islanding Protection Compliance
Trace SW inverters are capable of utility interactive operation, which includes utility protection
features to prevent injury and damage from occurring when power is sold to the utility grid. These
protective systems utilize high-speed microprocessor hardware and software to detect the abnormal
conditions and disconnect the inverter from the utility grid.
The UL1741 standard requires specific responses by the inverter to abnormal voltage and
frequency conditions. The following summarizes the voltage and frequency levels and the response
time period required, plus other features required by the UL1741 standard.

FREQUENCY MAXIMUM TRIP T IM E*

Frequency > 60.5 Hz 6 cycles
976-0013-D-002
*Trip time refers to the time between the abnormal conditions being applied and the inverter
ceasing to energize the utility line.
Over/Under Frequency Disturbances
Small renewable energy systems are allowed to sell within a fixed frequency range of -0.7 Hz/
+0.5 Hz of the nominal frequency in which they will operate. When the utility frequency is outside the
range of the nominal frequency window, the inverter must cease to energize the utility line within 6
cycles.
Reconnect Delay After a Utility Disturbance
An unacceptable utility event causes the renewable energy system to disconnect from the utility
line. It will remain disabled until acceptable voltage and frequency have been maintained for a
minimum of five minutes. After the 5 minute timer is complete, the inverter is allowed to
automatically reconnect the renewable energy system to the utility.
Islanding Protection
The non-islanding inverter protection features required by UL1741 ensures that the inverter
ceases to energize the utility line when the inverter is subjected to island conditions. As a result,
active control techniques have been incorporated into the SW inverter for detecting potential
dispersed-generation islands.
A utility wishing to ensure against renewable-energy supported dispersed-generation islanding
may require the use of a non-islanding inverter. Trace has designed the new software protection
system to comply with the requirements of the non-islanding inverter section of UL1741.
Over-current Protection
The Trace SW Series inverters also include over-current protection for the inverter system.
This protective system is used if the inverter attempts to power too large of a load or if the inverter
loses synchronization with the utility grid. This protective system is implemented with redundant
systems in analog hardware, microprocessor software and with a mechanical device (circuit
breaker). This insures the inverter is protected from damage and can not create an unsafe fault
condition to the utility or residence.
