Page 13: Ac Power Connections
5.1 AC power connections This battery system contains two independent AC power connection ports; one port dedicated for an electrical utility connection, marked “AC Grid”, the other port dedicated for backup operation, marked “AC load”. This product’s primary application is intended for utility interconnection, and must be connected to a utility electrical service supplying split phase 240/120 Vac, 60 Hz. -
Page 14: Chassis Grounding
5.2 Chassis Grounding In this section, “Chassis Ground” is referred to as “ground” or “grounding” unless otherwise mentioned. The AC and DC grounding are intended to provide a low impedance signal path at all frequencies. DC Ground Wiring Installation: The PCS cabinet is shipped with ungrounded DC power terminals within the inverter. However the default setting for DC grounding is set for DC negative to ground. -
Page 15: Start-Up Sequence
6 Start-up Sequence CAUTION! Powering the Evolve home energy storage system requires a specific start-up procedure. Please follow the steps below. CAUTION! If the battery disconnect has been placed in the OFF position at any time during operation, wait one minute before returning to the ON position. Rapid cycling (less than one minute) of the battery disconnect can cause damage to the pre-charge circuit. - Page 16 Green indicator: The left indicator indicates normal operation. Blue indicators (SOC): In normal operation, the four indicators on the right show the module’s state of charge (SOC). Each indicator represents 25% of a full charge. If the SOC value is 50%, the three rightmost indicators are on solid BLUE.
