FRT

Also known as: Fault Ride-Through, LVRT, HVRT

Inverter capability to remain connected to the grid during voltage disturbances rather than disconnecting immediately.

Fault Ride-Through (FRT) is the capability of an inverter to remain connected and operating during grid voltage disturbances (Low-Voltage Ride-Through, LVRT) or high-voltage events (HVRT). FRT requirements are codified in grid codes like IEEE 1547-2018 and EN 50549, and are essential to maintain grid stability when faults occur.
