1. Introduction ………………………………… 6.3.2 Set Address SOLTARO three phase series PV inverters could transfer DC power from PV panels into AC power and feed into grid. There are 6 models for SOLTARO three phase inverter. …………… 6.4 Advanced Info - Technicians Only SOLTARO-3P5K,SOLTARO-6K, SOLTARO-10K, SOLTARO-15K are used for 380/400V 6.4.1 Alarm Message...
Please don’t connect PV array positive(+) or negative(-) to the ground, it could Locking screws cause serious damage to the inverter. AC connector DC connectors 4 pairs(2 for SOLTARO-6K) WARNING: Manual Electrical installations must be done in accordance with the local and national electrical safety standards...
To reduce the risk of fire, branch-circuit over-current protective devices (OCPD) are required for circuits connected to the Inverter. The recommend rated trip current for AC breaker should be 25A for SOLTARO-3P5K,SOLTARO-6K inverter, 32A for SOLTARO-10K, SOLTARO-15K, SOLTARO-20K-HV inverter. CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and Access to modify the adjustable settings (the ESC and ENTER keys). may cause output power limiting. SOLTARO recommends inverter installed to avoid direct sunlight or raining. 3.4 LCD To avoid over heating ambient air temperature MUST be considered when choosing the inverter installation location.
4. Installation 4. Installation 4.2 Mounting the Inverter Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/- 5°.If the mounted inverter is tilted to an angle greater than the maximum noted, heat dissipation can be inhibited, and may Please use suitable fixings for wall type (e.g. use dynabolts for brick, masonry, etc). result in less than expected output power.
Before connecting inverter, please make sure the PV array open circuit voltage is within the limit of the inverter Maximum 1000Voc for Inverter SOLTARO-3P5K SOLTARO-6K SOLTARO-10K SOLTARO-15K SOLTARO-20K-HV Please don’t connect PV array positive or negative pole to the ground, it could cause serious damages to the inverter Figure 4.4 Wall Mount Bracket...
4. Installation 4. Installation The steps to assemble the DC connectors are listed as follows: I) Strip off the DC wire for about 7mm, Disassemble the connector cap nut (see Figure 4.7). Figure 4.10 Connector with Cap nut Screwed on v) Then connect the DC connectors to the inverter.
4. Installation 4. Installation Each SOLTARO three phase inverter is supplied with an AC grid terminal connector, which is b) Assemble the connector and tighten up cap on the terminal (as shown in Figure 4.14). in Figure 4.12. Figure 4.15 Tighten up the cap on the terminal Figure 4.12 AC Grid Terminal Connector...
