What happens when grid power is down

I hope just a simple question.

When the CT coils detect that the grid has lost power, can any power from battery or solar

feed back thru the back feed breaker.  I would expect this to not be possible.  Is there any

documentation to verify this ?

 

Thanks,

Matt

When the grid goes down, the inverter prevents power from feeding back into it. Here’s a link to a document that explains this in more detail.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks Eric,

That makes me feel more comfortable with the safety of

the lineman working to restore the grid at some point.

Absolutely! That’s a common question. You can find a lot of helpful documents available on the product page in case you have any other questions about the product. 

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to me directly or contact us at [email protected].
