Multiplus and Hoymiles in AC coupling, frequency shifting worst case scenario

Hi,

I am close to buy a Multiplus but have a few questions:

-Is Hoymiles supporting frequency shifting to be used in AC coupling? I found some thread in german stating that NS protection (NA Schutz) is supported but not 100% clear to me: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/182753/frequenzverschiebung-frequenz-shifting-bei-hoymile.html

Anyway if after the frequency shifting the generated power by the Hoymiles is not reduced, the Hoymiles shall disconnect when reaching 51,5 Hz, correct?

-If frequency shifting fails or is not supported, what is the Multiplus doing in case that the public grid is down, the Multiplus has already reached the 51,5Hz, the battery is full and some inverter is still on? Shutting down the AC OUT to force the inverter to switch off to protect the battery?

Thanks!

You seem to have the same scenario like me (exept I plan to use a SolPlanet WR): https://community.victronenergy.com/answers/240251/view.html

As far as I know all inverters that are sold in Germany/Europe are conforming to DIN EN-50549-1.

And if you look at the https://www.netzfrequenz.info/aktuelle-netzfrequenz-full (German) you will see that all inverters will drop offline at 51.5 Hz.

Dropping is not good enough, there is a need in AC coupling, dor a smooth transition between 100% power to 0% power and not a on/off attitude from the inverter.
