3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter Wiring Connections Line to Neutral Units Note: For Line to Line units please skip to section 2.7, page 2—10. 2.4.1 Grounding For safety and proper operation of the unit, including maximum attenuation of electrical noise, suitable grounding is required.
2.5.2 DC Input Normal: -48VDC Operating Range: -39.5 VDC to -57VDC This system is designed for battery systems with the positive terminal Earth Ground. All DC breakers are in the negative DC lines. The system DC terminals are isolated from Earth Ground. 2.5.3 DC Input Circuit Breaker Due to tremendous amounts of short circuit current available (in excess of 1000A for as long as several minutes!)
2.5.4 Connections All DC input connections are made through the knock-outs, located in the top or left side panel. Refer to Figure 2- 1. Make sure that the upstream source DC circuit breaker and AC circuit breaker (if applicable) supplying the invert- er are in the off (or open) position.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter The utility input and output cables are connected to a screw type terminal block. Connect the ground wires first, then the neutral wires, then connect the AC input wire (if applicable) and the AC output wire. A separate, optional Maintenance Bypass unit and a Power Distribution panel (200A Square D “QO”...
Software Configuration Set-Up The factory default configurations of the inverter plant is: 120V, 60Hz, Utility voltage connected and Mode of oper- ation is Online. If the factory configuration is different, the inverter will ship with marking that will describe the invert- er plant configuration.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 2.6.3 Unit kVA Rating ID Label For kVA rating see the inverter ID label. Use the label kVA rating, regardless of the number of inverter modules installed. The processor will detect and display the number of modules installed and the number of modules that are “ON”...
Wiring Connections Line to Line Units Note: For Line to Neutral units continue to section 2.11, page 2—17. 2.7.1 Grounding For safety and proper operation of the unit, including maximum attenuation of electrical noise, suitable grounding is required. A separate grounding electrode conductor should be connected from the safety ground (GND) terminal to a nearby grounding electrode, and should be sized per National Electrical Code Article 250-94.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 2.8.3 DC Input Circuit Breaker Due to tremendous amounts of short circuit current available (in excess of 1000A for as long as several minutes!) from bank(s) of batteries, that supply electrical power to inverter systems, it is extremely important to connect a properly sized DC circuit breaker at the DC input cable that feeds the inverter system.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 2.8.4 Connections All DC input connections are made through the knock-outs, located in the top or left side panel. Refer to Figure 2- 1. Make sure that the upstream source DC circuit breaker and AC circuit breaker (if applicable) supplying the invert- er are in the off (or open) position.

2.12 Remote Alarm The system provides three alarm signals, namely, Utility alarm, Minor alarm, and Major alarm. Utility alarm – Utility alarm is ON when utility input voltage is lost/out of tolerance. Minor alarm – The system sends out this signal to indicate something is not functioning properly, but invert- er can still maintain the load.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 2.13 Start-Up Sequence Confirm that all power modules’ ON/OFF circuit breakers are set to the OFF position. On the LCD “Display” panel, be sure inverter switch SW1 is set at STANDBY position. 2.13.1 Power-Up Procedure Turn the main source DC input circuit breaker ON to apply 48VC to the system.
