Understanding VDE-AR-N 4105: A Comprehensive Guide to the German Standard for Electrical Installations
- Confirm you need the full standard (vs. an inverter compliance certificate).
- Verify that the 2018-11 version is the current one (call VDE support if unsure).
- Buy only from VDE Verlag or Beuth.
- Download and store the watermarked PDF in a secure project folder.
Key technical highlights (English summary)
- Voltage limits: 253 V (max continuous), disconnect if >253 V or <184 V (specific time curves)
- Frequency limits: 47.5 Hz – 50.2 Hz (with active power derating at overfrequency)
- Active power reduction: At 50.2 Hz, reduce output by 40%/Hz (linear characteristic)
- Reactive power: Capability factor cos φ = 0.95 (over‑excited/under‑excited) or Q(U) control
- Grid support: Dynamic grid support (voltage stability), fault ride‑through not required for small units (<30 kVA)
- Islanding detection: Active frequency drift or voltage shift methods
