The Enphase Q-relay 1-phase is the essential link to meet grid standards in the Netherlands and other country standards in which mechanical disconnection is required. Although your Enphase system already works well without this device, the Q-relay is crucial to trigger the mechanical disconnection of your solar PV system when the grid voltage is lost.
The Enphase Q-relay 1-phase receives shutdown values from the envoy, the brain of your Enphase system. When the values fall outside the norms, the relay ensures that your solar panels are safely disconnected from the grid. Once the values are within norms again, the relay switches everything back on, so you can continue to enjoy the benefits of your solar PV system.
Installing the Enphase Q relay 1-phase is simple: place it between the cable coming from your micro-inverters and your fuse. With a maximum capacity of 20A of micro-inverters, connecting up to 4 relays per envoy, you can take full advantage of your solar panels.
The Q relay 1-phase is 53mm wide and can simply be mounted on the dinrails in your meter box. With the PV connection at the bottom and the Grid connection at the top, connecting is a piece of cake.
The Enphase Q-relay 1-phase has a handy LED indicator and a test button. Two green lights indicate that everything is working properly: voltage and hertz are OK. If you see two red blinking lights, it means that the network profile has not yet been set. You can set this via the Enphase toolkit.
Enphase offers a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on the Enphase Q-relay 1-phase.
In short, the Enphase Q-relay 1-phase is the reliable solution to ensure that your solar panel system always meets grid standards.
