The short-circuit current contribution during a voltage dip depends largely on the operation mode of the inverter. The following operation modes can occur and influence the uninterrupted short-circuit current Ik. Note that both operating modes are equally available for riding through overvoltage events (high-voltage ride-through, HVRT).
Inverter power switch short-circuit protection is fully integrated. A desaturation detection circuit is embedded in both the high- and low-side output stages and monitors the IGBT collector-to-emitter voltage by means of an external high voltage diode.
To see the exact value for each selected SMA inverter, refer to the table hereafter Short-Circuit Current Contributions of Individual SMA Inverters. p the characteristic curve of the current. It thus provides much less energy than a conventional generator. The initial symmetrical short-circuit current Ik’’ will not last longer than 50 ms.
During voltage dips, especially complete grid failures, all PV and battery inverters connected to the grid may generate currents that are slightly above the maximum current in normal operating conditions. Such currents are relevant for the correct dimensioning of the wiring and the protective devices, both at the system level and the grid level.
The figure on the right shows the actual response of a PV inverter STP 25000TL-30 to a 75% Vn voltage dip with the FRT threshold set to 70% Vn. If the voltage threshold is reached, the inverter immediately stops feeding in current. The I will be zero. Since the electric current of
As the figure above shows, the voltage dip causes an immediate response of the inverter with a short-lived current peak caused by its grid filter. Afterwards, the inverter limits the current to its nominal current as fast as possible in order to prevent a thermal overload of the power electronics.

Short circuit characteristics of solar inverter
The short-circuit fault characteristics of the PV system mainly depend on the characteristics of its control mode. In order to ensure that the short-circuit current does not exceed the limit value of the inverter when a short-circuit occurs in the power system, a saturation module is generally added to the current inner loop in the control loop.
