User Manual 15SB30-77-1SP-US-40-BA-en-11
Secure power supply operation
You can connect an external outlet and a switch to the inverter in order to activate the outlet. In
case of a grid failure, the outlet supplies a load with current from the PV system. When the outlet is
activated via the switch, the load is supplied with current from the PV system. The inverter
automatically regulates the energy supply of the outlet depending on the solar irradiation on the PV
system. When the outlet is activated and a load is supplied with current from the PV system, the
inverter is disconnected from the utility grid and does not feed into the utility grid.
Do not connect loads that require a stable electricity supply to the outlet for secure
power supply operation
Secure power supply operation must not be used for loads that require a stable electricity
supply. The power available during secure power supply operation depends on the solar
irradiation on the PV system. Therefore, power output can fluctuate considerably depending
on the weather or may not be available at all.
Do not connect loads to the outlet for secure power supply operation if they are
dependent on a stable electricity supply for reliable operation.
Multifunction relay
The inverter is equipped with a multifunction relay as standard. The multifunction relay is a
multifunctional interface that can be configured for the operating mode used by a particular system.
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)
In accordance with the National Electrical Code
®
, Article 690.11, the inverter has a system for arc
fault detection and interruption.
An electric arc with a power of 300W or greater must be interrupted by the AFCI in the time
specified by UL 1699B. A detected electric arc causes the inverter to interrupt feed-in operation: In
order to restart feed-in operation, the feed-in operation must be activated manually. If the
installation conditions allow it, you can deactivate the arc-fault circuit interrupter.
3.3 LED Signals
The LEDs indicate the operating state of the inverter.

4.3 Secure Power Supply Operation
4.3.1 Activating Secure Power Supply Operation
If an outlet and a switch for secure power supply operation are connected to the inverter, you can
supply a load with current from the PV system in case of a grid failure during the day. If you
activate the secure power supply operation, the inverter supplies loads that are connected to the
outlet for secure power supply operation.
In case of overload, underload or insufficient solar irradiation, the voltage supply of the outlet is
briefly interrupted. The inverter automatically attempts to reestablish the voltage supply 20seconds
after the interruption. This can lead to inadvertent starting of the load that is connected to the outlet.
Ensure that the load connected to the outlet does not consume too much power. If necessary,
reduce the power consumption of the load.
In case of a grid failure during the night, secure power supply operation is not
possible
During the night, secure power supply operation cannot be activated since the PV system does
not produce power that is required to supply the load.
In case of a grid failure during the night, do not activate secure power supply operation.
Continue to operate the inverter on the utility grid and wait for restoration of grid
operation.
In the event of a persistent grid failure, switch to secure power supply operation after
sunrise.
4 Operation of the Inverter
SMA Solar Technology America LLC
User ManualSB30-77-1SP-US-40-BA-en-1118
Do not connect loads that require a stable electricity supply to the outlet for secure
power supply operation
Secure power supply operation must not be used for loads that require a stable electricity
supply. The power available during secure power supply operation depends on the solar
irradiation on the PV system. Therefore, power output can fluctuate considerably depending
on the weather or may not be available at all.
Do not connect loads to the outlet for secure power supply operation if they are
dependent on a stable electricity supply for reliable operation.
Procedure:
1. If no load is connected to the outlet, connect a load.
2. Turn the switch of the outlet to secure power supply operation.
3. Wait one minute.
The inverter commences secure power supply operation. As soon as the inverter supplies the
outlet with power, the green LED flashes (1.5s on and 0.5s off) and the message SPS-mode
active is shown in the display along with the amount of power being supplied from the
inverter to the outlet. In addition, the control light of the outlet for secure power supply
operation glows.
The green LED does not flash and no message that the secure power supply operation mode is
activated appears on the display or the control lamp of the outlet does not glow?
The output power of the PV system is too low. Irradiation on the PV system is probably too low
or the connected load requires more power than currently available.
Ensure that the outlet's switch is set to secure power supply operation.
If irradiation is too low, wait for it to increase.
Connect a load with lower power consumption to the outlet.
