1. Ensure voltage values and polarities are correct. 2. When grounding the solar array, an isolation transformer is required due to the H2.5 / H3 / H3A / H4A / H5A not having galvanic isolation between the DC-input and AC-output.
WARNING ! Before commencing AC wiring, please ensure all AC circuit breakers are switched off. 5.2.1 Required protective devices and cable cross-sections Power rating Upstream AC circuit breaker H2.5 3.125 kVA H3 / H3A 3.75 kVA H4A / H5A 5 kVA...
PV array is OFF. CAUTION ! The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV Array must not exceed 500Vdc(H2.5) / 600Vdc (H3 / H3A / H4A / H5A). NOTE The isolator installed between the PV Array and inverter must meet the rating...
Wiring 5.3.1 Asymmetrical Loading The inverters (H3A / H4A / H5A) operate using two separate MPP trackers that can handle both symmetrical and asymmetrical loads to allow for optimum adjustment. This allows for the requirements of complex PV system designs to be fulfilled. MPP range with Max.
Active/Reactive Power Control and LVRT (Optional) 6 Active/Reactive Power Control and LVRT (Optional) There are 2 settings for active power and 4 settings for reactive power control that can be configured based on the requirement of the local network operator. ATTENTION The parameters are set according to the requirements of the selected country.
Active/Reactive Power Control and LVRT (Optional) Gradient 40% Pm/Hz Fstart(50,2Hz) Power vs. frequency curve for VDE-AR-N 4105 Pimax Gradient 83.3% Pimax/Hz Fstart(50,3Hz) Power vs. frequency curve for CEI-021 Figure 6-1 : Power vs. frequency characteristic 6.2 Reactive Power Control The setting value is either: • ...

Active/Reactive Power Control and LVRT (Optional) 6.2.1 Users can set the power factor from Cap 0.8 to Ind 0.8 (inverter would stop reactive power control if output power is below 20% rated power). Once user enables this method, the inverter will deliver reactive power according to output active power at that moment.

Active/Reactive Power Control and LVRT (Optional) 6.3 Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) According to CEI 0-21, 8.5.1 To avoid undue separation from the network if voltage dips occur, a generation system with over 6 kW total power must be able to comply with certain functional requirements, which are known as LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through) in international literature.
To implementation of power management, the digital input interface receives the specifications of the network operator via a ripple control receiver or a DRED. H2.5/H3/H3A/H4A/H5A can access these command via PPM DC1. • Germany : The active power limitation in the stages 0%, 30%, 60% and 100% •...
Turning the PV inverter on/off 7 Turning the PV inverter on/off WARNING ! The internal temperature may exceed over 70°C while operating. To avoid injury, do not touch the surface of the inverter whilst the unit is in operation. After installation, please ensure the AC, the DC and communication connection are correct.
1. Turn on the device’s Wi-Fi function. 2. Select the inverters' Wi-Fi SSID: Delta-[serial number] (e.g. Delta-O4L16A00001W0 ; See Inverter ” The identification label”) 3. Enter the Wi-Fi password: DELTASOL (The Default password is also printed on the identification label) 4.
Maintenance 8 Maintenance In order to ensure normal operation of the inverter, please check the unit regularly.
