Anti-Islanding Protection Test — Corridor CN→NO (Huawei SUN2000-12KTL-M5)

Document type: Process / SOP  |  Equipment: Huawei SUN2000-12KTL-M5 string inverter  |  Firmware baseline: SUN2000 V200R024C10  |  OEM manual: Huawei FusionSolar SUN2000-(12KTL–25KTL)-M5 Service Manual v3.0 (2024-09)  |  Corridor: China (CN) → Norway (NO)  |  Revision: 2026-09

Decision: The anti-islanding protection test on a Huawei SUN2000-12KTL-M5 (firmware SUN2000 V200R024C10) shipped CN→NO takes ≈ 4 hours on site (excl. setup/dossier), and is accepted when trip time ≤ 2.0 s for every V/f sweep (V window 176–276 Vac; f window 47.5–52.0 Hz). The test is performed per IEC 62116:2014 (utility-interconnected photovoltaic inverters — test procedure of islanding prevention measures), using a calibrated grid simulator at 230 V / 50 Hz, and the resulting record is bound into the corridor CN→NO dossier for Norwegian DSO acceptance.

1. Scope and applicability

This Standard Operating Procedure describes the on-site anti-islanding protection test applied to Huawei SUN2000-12KTL-M5 three-phase string inverters shipped along the CN→NO logistics corridor. The test is parameterised against Huawei FusionSolar SUN2000-(12KTL–25KTL)-M5 Service Manual v3.0 (2024-09) and firmware SUN2000 V200R024C10, and is performed at the receiving site in Norway prior to grid synchronization. It forms part of the commissioning dossier handed over to the local Distribution System Operator (DSO). The trip-time limit (≤ 2.0 s) and the protective windows (V: 176–276 Vac; f: 47.5–52.0 Hz) are the OEM defaults carried by V200R024C10 and shall be re-read against the firmware actually loaded on the unit at the time of test.

6. Duty / HS code block (R5)

HS code classification must be confirmed against the official customs portal for each leg of the corridor before any commercial invoice is issued. Rates are intentionally left as PENDING — lookup; do not hardcode. EU-side classification, where relevant for EU-origin dispatch or comparison, is confirmed via the TARIC consultation tool.

7. Acceptance criteria

The test is accepted only when the SUN2000-12KTL-M5 (firmware V200R024C10) ceases to energize the simulated grid within the clearing time stated in the Huawei service manual for every sweep of V and f. Concretely: trip time ≤ 2.0 s for every V/f point outside the protective window (V: 176–276 Vac; f: 47.5–52.0 Hz), with the worst case of three captures archived on the test sheet.

All numerical values in this page are sourced from the named references above; where a value is shown as "indicative", "model assumption", or "PENDING — lookup", no committed figure is implied. OEM-specific values (trip time, V/f windows) are parameterised against Huawei FusionSolar SUN2000-(12KTL–25KTL)-M5 Service Manual v3.0 (2024-09) and firmware SUN2000 V200R024C10 and must be re-read against the firmware actually loaded on the unit at the time of test.
