Abstract: A backfeed soft-start circuit for a photovoltaic inverter is provided. The backfeed soft-start circuit includes a plurality of branch switches. A solar photovoltaic array includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules, where the plurality of branch switches are in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of photovoltaic modules, and when the plurality of branch switches are turned on, the corresponding photovoltaic modules are connected to the backfeed soft-start circuit; and a primary switching switch. The branch switches is connected to a corresponding photovoltaic module, and the primary switching switch. The primary switching switch is turned on after the branch switch is turned on.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus (400) for performing fault detection, are provided includes: controlling, by a power station management system in a preset photovoltaic module order by using an inverter connected to a current to-be-detected photovoltaic module, the current to-be-detected photovoltaic module to be in a target status, and when determining that the current to-be-detected photovoltaic module is in the target status, controlling a mobile image capturing terminal to collect image data of the current to-be-detected photovoltaic module (S201), where the image data is used to detect a fault status of the current to-be-detected photovoltaic module; and when determining that the mobile image capturing terminal obtains the image data of the current to-be-detected photovoltaic module through collection, continuing, by the power station management system, to control, in the preset photovoltaic module order by using an inverter connected to a next to-be-detected photovoltaic module.
