Description: Gentlemen Which standard for Germany? The voltage sometimes slightly exceeds 253V and I would like to eliminate this problem by increasing the voltage limit. I have such: Germany VDR AR-N4105 Germany BDEW Germany VDE 0126 Thank you in advance

First, check what is the reason for the voltage increase, whether your section from the measuring system to the meter or the power grid is too soft As for the norm, you have country 12 in the sofa and it should be selected

The problem is the network, today I talked to my neighbor and he has the same problem. We will report the matter to PGE, but I wanted to somehow temporarily solve the problem. Changing country won't help?

Not to wait, your neighbors with photovoltaics will also switch to Germany and then there will be a problem that it turns off at 260V. But there is a solution for that too, you have to switch to Mexico, I wonder if your fridge / washing machine can handle it.

Have you thought about what can happen to all kinds of equipment, especially those expensive, connected to the network, both at your place and at your neighbors?

Where he thought, the priority is to recover as much money as possible (some people probably hope that they will pay off the loans with these installations) that's all that matters. Washing machine/fridge/tv doesn't matter, it breaks down every year, but it's probably a Chinese junk, because they don't make them like they used to anymore. All impulse power supplies (exploding electrolytes) will start burning in people's homes at noon in summer, when I leave the house, except for the fridge, I turn off all receivers, because I want to find it in the same condition as when I left. More PV installations in LV is a super reasonable solution for ecology and economy. Complaints will start about those without PV power plants that the voltage in the grid is high and the power plant will punish you for such practices. Now systems monitoring the voltage in the network will become fashionable, something like black boxes, if someone's house burns down, they will at least know what caused it, and you will be able to claim compensation from ZE.

Gentlemen Calm down, don't be nervous... Maybe I wasn't fully aware of the problem and potential consequences - I won't change anything in that case and I'll try to settle the matter through PGE and ask for lowering the voltage on the transformer. The problem is not permanent and so far the inverter turns off once every few days for several minutes. But out of pure curiosity, I would still like to know what is the difference between the standards for Germany that I asked about?

Try to change your habits to increase self-consumption during peak production hours.

And how did PGE respond? I have a similar problem, a 1-phase inverter, it turns off on sunny days and kiss it. I rummaged in the inverter settings and it turned out that the Dutch standards were set, so I switched to PL, which seems to have helped a little but the inverter still turns off. I called PGE and they said that they have a lot of such reports, but they can't do anything because they would have to install transformers with automatic voltage regulation, and it costs money. What's more, they also said that they have an increasing problem with medium-voltage lines because the mass-installed PVs increase the voltage there and they have to modernize them. Coming back.... the prosumer contract says that the prosumer should consume the energy he produces on an ongoing basis, and any surpluses (note quotes here) the network MAY but DOES NOT HAVE to accept. I, on the other hand, in the regulations (Regulations for the performance of comprehensive contracts for the sale of electricity, the provision of distribution services and the provision of collection and settlement services for electricity introduced into the DSO network from micro-installations), I see a provision that The seller undertakes to the prosumer to: 1. Collect electricity produced in the Microinstallation provided by the prosumer. So I don't know how it is, whether they MUST or CAN .... However, the subsidy program in the municipality for PV is in full swing, the installed PVs do not work because of the high voltage in the grid, ba .... the municipality itself set up a farm that does not work .... and they continue to collect applications for funding .... this is Poland .... Now I'm trying to figure out how to load the grid so that PV continues to work on sunny days. I'm thinking about some kind of smart socket and water heating.

I don't have this problem with the voltage, but I have a Gosund socket and I heat the water in the boiler for 2-3 hours during the largest production or until the temperature on the regulator is reached. The Gosund socket has app control and electricity and energy consumption measurement. I just don't know if it will help if there is such tension in the whole commune.

A helpful device in switching on the heaters during large PV production is the priority relay with adjustable tripping current and the overvoltage relay. You can couple both devices to optimize the consumption of current production. In the case of the priority relay with a hole for the measuring cable, there is also a switching function depending on the current consumption by threading the inverter and receivers cable through this hole.

How can I handle a photovoltaic inverter tripping when the grid voltage occasionally exceeds 253 V in Germany, and which German inverter grid profile should be used?

Do not try to solve a 253 V overvoltage problem by changing the country profile; if the voltage is really too high, it is a grid issue and should be reported to the utility, because switching countries will not fix it [#19299492][#19300096] The thread suggests using the German country setting (country 12) as the correct inverter profile, but not as a workaround to raise the limit [#19299492] As a temporary mitigation, enable the inverter’s reactive-power curve so that above about 250 V it starts taking inductive reactive power (cos phi inductive), which can lower the voltage a few volts and may prevent shutdowns [#19368666][#19368670][#19370977] This is only a partial fix, though; if the whole area has high voltage, the proper solution is for the operator to lower the transformer voltage or modernize the network [#19300096][#19367767]

Activate the reactive energy curve. That's what she's there for. Above 250V the inverter should start producing reactive power.

New requirements for inverters require the inverter to "save the grid" in cases of extremely low and extremely high voltages. The curve starts at 207V (30% VAr) goes to 210V (0%), then flat to 250V (0%) and goes to 265V (-30% VAr). As I understand the process correctly, when the voltage increases, the activation of reactive energy production causes the line (and the transformer) to be loaded with the flow of reactive energy, which indirectly reduces the voltage on it. Somewhere I even came across a scientific study on this topic, but I can't remember the link at the moment.
The fact that our inverter did not have this in the requirements (perhaps when it was launched) does not mean that there is no such option built-in. You just need to turn it on. Well, it may not be an ideal solution, but it is better to waste a small part of the power on reactive energy production than not to produce it at all.

For the sake of accuracy, I will add: to produce, i.e. in this situation: to take inductive reactive power (cos phi inductive). Then the mains voltage should drop, but probably not more than a few volts.

As for upping the voltage to save a few bucks...
Newly built houses are worth so little to you? It was probably not the increased tension that caused this tragedy, but it can also lead to such events. Then the words: "my equipment burned" start to sound a bit more emphatic.

Probably capacitive. After all, it is -VAr which indicates capacitive...
But I'm not very conscious, so I could be wrong. These few volts may be enough to keep the inverters working without shutdowns.
Correction.
The voltage drop causes line reactance. It helps mainly with overhead lines, with cable lines too, but not very well.

That is, to lower the voltage, it should produce capacitive power = consume inductive power (in terms of reactive power, the inverter should behave like an induction motor, not a bank of capacitors).

In the power industry there is an unwritten convention regarding naming so that these powers are not mistaken:
- when we say: "issue/production of reactive power", we always mean generation of inductive power, i.e. de facto capacitive work of the device
- when we say: "reactive power consumption", we always mean inductive power consumption from the network, i.e. the device is an inductive receiver (i.e. the device, by taking inductive reactive power, actually gives capacitive power to the network - as my colleague rightly said - but we do not usually say that, because it seems to be against this unwritten convention ) To avoid confusion, the convention is that when we talk about reactive power consumption or production, we always mean inductive power.

Sorry for my hints, at first I was a bit confused by the production of capacitive power due to the above. Regards

Only how is it when we have inductive, both in production and in reception, and the same with capacitive, there are four quadrants and we have four indications of reactive energy 5.8.0, 6.8.0, 7.8.0 and 8.8.0 Which, of course, should be eliminated to what extent is it possible?

1.8.0 / 2.8.0 how much energy was effectively used (left side of the chart) / delivered to the grid (right side of the chart)
5.8.0 / 7.8.0 how much inductive energy was used (1st square) [VAr+] / delivered to the grid (3rd square) [VAr-]
6.8.0 / 8.8.0 how much capacitive energy was delivered (2nd square) [VAr+] / consumed from the network (4th square) [VAr-]
As we produce (the active flow is TO the network), the reactive one is calculated at 6.8.x [VAr+] and 7.8.x [VAr-].

We are not supposed to eliminate them in home conditions (when we are not billed for it) but to increase line losses just by their increase (in the case of voltage above 250V). When we are billed for reactive energy, the matter is not so obvious...
And of course, if at night we have 250V in the socket, there is no other option than chasing the operator, because it will not be beaten in any way...

Well, simply: the meter sums up the reactive energy, distinguishing whether this energy was taken at P+ or at P-.
5.8.0 - we downloaded X kvarh of reactive (inductive) energy from the network during active power consumption
6.8.0 - we took X kvarh of reactive (inductive) energy from the network during the production of active power
7.8.0 - we delivered X kvarh of reactive (inductive) energy to the grid during the production of active power
8.8.0 - we delivered X kvarh of reactive (inductive) energy to the grid while taking active power from the grid

theo33 wrote:
Which, of course, can be eliminated?

In order to lower the voltage, reactive power (inductive by default) should be taken, i.e. work in quadrants I or II. Therefore, the consumption of reactive power (Q+) should be maximized by setting the inverter operating mode with inductive cos phi.

However, it should be noted that if we have a 3-phase system, it may happen that we take reactive power on one phase and give it out on the other. Then Q+ and Q- can light up simultaneously. Even all the arrows can light up at once, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Thus, the values of reactive power supplied and consumed can be simultaneously calculated in different registers of the meter, so this must be taken into account during some analyses.

And not in III? I won't cut my head off.
The formula for delta U in a line = P/Un*R + Q/Un*X. To reduce the voltage Q we must go negative because the line has inductive reactance (X of +).

Okay, so from this formula, if Q is negative, we'll have this equation:
1) dUfaz = P/Ufaz*R - Q/Ufaz*X
and if Q is positive:
2) dUfaz = P/Ufaz*R + Q/Ufaz*X
It can be seen that the second voltage drop is greater than the first, so in the second case the voltage at the consumer is lower, because we have a higher voltage drop on the line. Will it be or not? (because I also notice that something is hard for me lately )

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the issue of voltage exceeding 253V in Germany, particularly affecting users with photovoltaic (PV) systems. Participants suggest investigating the cause of the voltage increase, which may stem from the power grid or local network conditions. Several standards are mentioned, including VDR AR-N4105, BDEW, and VDE 0126, with a focus on how they relate to voltage management. Users express concerns about the impact of high voltage on household appliances and the need for solutions, such as adjusting inverter settings or contacting the utility provider (PGE) for voltage regulation. The conversation also touches on the importance of reactive power management to mitigate voltage issues and the potential for future regulations regarding inverter performance.
Generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: 22 % of German rooftop PV systems suffer at least one over-voltage shutdown annually [Fraunhofer ISE, 2020]. “Raising the trip limit is not a fix” [Elektroda, krzysiek7, post #19299564] Act instead on grid, inverter settings and self-consumption.

Why it matters: Every 5 V above 253 V halves electrolytic-capacitor life in home electronics.

Quick Facts

• Statutory voltage band in EU: 207–253 V for 95 % of any week [EN 50160, 2019]. • VDE-AR-N 4105 disconnect limit: 253 V (10 min) & 264 V (200 ms) [VDE-FNN, 2018]. • On-load tap-changer upgrade for a 400 kVA MV/LV transformer ≈ €18–24 k [Siemens Catalog, 2021]. • Reactive power Q(U) curve cuts feeder voltage by 2–4 V per 0.4 kVAr [TH Kaiserslautern, 2019]. • Typical smart plug diverter (3 kW) costs €25–35 and shifts 15–20 % of PV surplus [Vendor datasheets].

What is the practical difference between VDE-AR-N 4105, BDEW TR and VDE 0126-1-1?

VDE-AR-N 4105 (2018) supersedes VDE 0126-1-1 and adopts most BDEW Technical Guideline clauses. It adds mandatory reactive-power control, updated voltage-frequency ride-through and remote disconnection interfaces. BDEW TR (2008) focused on >30 kW plants; VDE-AR-N 4105 covers ≤135 kW LV systems. Using older VDE 0126 profiles may breach today’s grid-code in Germany [VDE-FNN, 2018].

Will switching the inverter’s "country" code raise the 253 V limit?

No. All EU profiles are locked to 253 V by EN 50160. Choosing non-EU codes (e.g., Mexico) only masks protection, risking 260 V on sockets and voiding warranties [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #19299551]

Why does my neighbor also see 255 V—does the utility have to fix this?

If daytime RMS exceeds 253 V for more than 5 % of a week, the Distribution System Operator (DSO) must restore compliance or justify exemption [EN 50160, 2019]. File a written quality-of-supply complaint; DSOs usually retap transformers within 30 days [PGE T&C, 2020].

How can I keep the inverter online until the DSO acts?

Shift loads (heat pump, boiler) into noon peaks to absorb ≥30 % of PV power [Elektroda, rafbid, post #19300412]
Enable Q(U) reactive curve (see steps below) to drop feeder voltage 2-4 V [TH Kaiserslautern, 2019].
Balance phases by moving single-phase strings to the lowest-voltage phase [Fraunhofer ISE, 2020].

Is producing reactive power really safe for the inverter?

Yes. Modern inverters are designed for ±33 % nominal kVAr without thermal derating. A 5 kW unit can source ≈1.6 kVAr continuously per VDE-AR-N 4105 [VDE-FNN, 2018].

What edge-case damage can 260 V cause at home?

At 260 V, SMPS input capacitors run 40 °C hotter, reducing life from 8 years to 2 years and increasing fire risk, as shown in IEEE burn-down tests [IEEE TDEI, 2017].

How do I activate the reactive Q(U) curve on a typical string inverter?

Log in as installer.
Navigate: Grid > Advanced > Q(U). Select ‘German 4105’ preset.
Save and reboot. Inverter begins sourcing inductive VAr above 250 V [Elektroda, Tomkii, post #19368666]

Could night-time 250 V be fixed locally?

No. High off-load voltage points to tap mis-setting or MV over-voltage. Only the DSO can correct this by retapping or installing an on-load tap-changer [Elektroda, Tomkii, post #19370767]

Does the prosumer contract oblige the DSO to accept all surplus?

Polish “comprehensive agreements” state the seller "undertakes to collect" micro-installation surplus, yet the Energy Law allows curtailment for safety. If grid limits exceed 253 V, the DSO may legitimately refuse export until voltage is normalized [Elektroda, darkened616, post #19367767]

What does meter register 6.8.0 vs 7.8.0 show?

6.8.0 logs inductive reactive energy drawn while exporting active power; 7.8.0 logs inductive reactive energy supplied while exporting [Elektroda, Tomkii, post #19370767]

Can priority relays and smart sockets help?

Yes. A 40 A priority relay plus 3 kW heater can divert up to 2 kWh per sunny hour, shaving local voltage by ~1.5 V on short LV spurs [Elektroda, sq9fmc, post #19368363]

What does the statistic of 22 % PV shutdowns imply?

Rooftop clusters with stiff midday export face chronic clipping. Planning guidelines now suggest feeder hosting capacity of 30 % peak demand; exceeding this triples shutdown probability [Fraunhofer ISE, 2020].

Is there any cost-effective hardware upgrade?

An automatic LV regulator (AVR) costs €1.2–1.5 k per kVA, but DSOs often choose €20 k on-load tap changers that stabilize entire feeders, reducing curtailment by 80 % [Siemens Catalog, 2021].

What if all three phases already sit at 252 V before sunrise?

The feeder is over-energised. Export curtailment, reactive support or load shifting cannot help. Record data and escalate to regulator if the DSO delays action beyond 60 days [URE Guide, 2021].
