Mixed Phase Rotation - Grid 123/ABC (CW), Inverter CBA/321 (CCW)


Recommended Posts

Greetings,

A site has 123/ABC (CW) phase rotation coming from utility. Wiring at the main incomer MCCB changes the phase sequence to 321/CBA (CCW) for the entire building.

A 25kW grid-tie inverter with 25kWp solar synchronises to the 321 phase rotation after the main MCCB. It has been working for a little over a year off-setting between 40-60% of the total 12-20 kW daytime load.

Is it worth swapping phases A & C at the bottom input of the main MCCB to match the grid phase rotation? This will definitely disturb the phase sequence already established for the two three-phase motors and passenger elevator.

If it ain't broken don't fix it. 

By changing now means other changes as well.
