Anyone know what the Upper and Lower limits are of the Grid Frequency?

Baseline: 50Hz
 

Looking at setting up alerts in what my inverter measures

As spesified by:NRS 048-2:2004
Edition 2.1

Grid ± 2,5% (± 1,25 Hz) lower limit = 48,75hz upper limit = 51,25hz

How accurate are the Axpert inverters at reading the frequency?

I'd also like to set an alert for mine, I've noticed incredible fluctuations the past 60 days.

Good question.

@Coulomb could you perhaps shed some insight?

Can you post a graph of the frequency measured over say a day.

@Scorp007 here is the frequency in my area for the last 12 hours. Lowest at 49.6 H but I've seen it slightly lower.

And for interest sake here is the grid voltage as well.

So all together no problem at all. 

Thanks for the pics.

I would think very good. The DSP is of course running off a crystal, and there is capture hardware used, and an interrupt dedicated to zero crossing of the AC input. Frequency measurement is simple with that setup.
