APsystems Photovoltaic Grid-connected Inverter (Microinverter). To reduce the risk of electrical shock and ensure the safe installation and operation of the APsystems Microinverter, the following symbols appear throughout this document to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety instructions.
APsystems Microinverter system and the solar-array. Be aware that the body of the APsystems Microinverter is the heat sink and can reach a temperature of 80°C. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the Microinverter.
APsystems YC1000-3 System Introduction The APsystems Microinverter is used in utility-interactive grid-tied applications, comprised of three key elements: APsystems Microinverter APsystems Energy Communication Unit (ECU) APsystems Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) web-based monitoring and analysis system Meter...

Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router. After installing and setting the ECU (see ECU manual), the full network of APsystems Microinverters automatically reports to the APsystems Energy Monitor and analysis (EMA) web server.
APsystems Three-phase Microinverter YC1000-3 The APsystems YC1000-3 Microinverters connect with the Three-phase grid, and operate with most 60, 72, 84 and 96 cell PV modules. For more information, please see the Technical Data page (p.16) of this manual. Model Number...
Installation MUST comply with local regulations and technical rules. Special Statement! An AC GFCI device should not be used to protect the dedicated circuit to the APsystems microinverter even though it is an outside circuit. None of the small GFCI devices (5mA-30 mA) are designed for back feeding and will be damaged if back feed.
APsystems Microinverter System Installation PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment This product is PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conforms with NEC-2014 and NEC-2017 section 690.12, for AC and DC conductors, when installed according to the following requirements: Microinverters and all DC connections must be installed inside the array boundary.
Installation Procedures APsystems Microinverters are designed to only operate when they can sense power coming from the grid. Even if they are plugged into the solar array, they will not turn themselves on until they can read power from the grid.
Installation Procedures Step 3 - Connecting the APsystems Microinverter Cables to the AC bus cable. Click Figure 3 Cover all unused T connectors with Bus Cable T-CONN Cap to protect the T connectors. Figure 4 AC connector interface as follows, from left to right PE, N, L3, L2, L1.
Installation Procedures Step 4 - Connecting APsystems Microinverters to the PV Module. Place the PV modules into position on the racking and connect the DC input cables to the microinverters based on optimum layout configuration (up to four PV modules per microinverter).
Double check to make sure all of the AC and DC wiring WARNING: has been correctly installed. Ensure that none of the AC and/or DC wires are pinched or damaged. Make sure that all of the junction boxes are properly closed. APsystems YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual...

ECU will vary with the number of microinverters in the system. You can verify proper operation of the APsystems microinverters via the ECU. See the ECU Installation and Operation Manual for more information.
Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting WARNING: the PV module wires from the APsystems microinverter. The APsystems microinverter is powered by PV module WARNING: DC power. Make sure you disconnect and reconnect the DC connections to watch for the three short LED flashes indicating start up.
5. Check the DC connections between the microinverter and the PV module. 6. Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown 7. If the problem persists, please call APsystems Technical Support. in the Technical Data of this manual.
Follow the procedure to replace a failed APsystems Microinverter. A. Remove the APsystems microinverter from the PV Module, in the following order: 1. Disconnect the AC by turning off the branch circuit breaker. 2. Cover the module with an opaque cover.
You must match the DC operating voltage range of WARNING: the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the APsystems Microinverter. The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module WARNING: must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems microinverter. YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual...
