Module fastening bolts Fig. 5-9 Module fastening bolt position in the back side of each module After confirming the above items and finished and tested, open the back door of the PCS and remove the module fastening bolts. Note: Make sure that the module fastening bolts on the back side of power module have been removed before moving the converter into the container.
5.5 Installation in container 5.5.1 Container internal layout distance Internal layout can be customized design according to customer’s requirements. Please contact the manufacture to know the internal layout for specific project. The distance between PCS side steel plate and container wall is no less than 50mm to ensure that the PCS can be installed inside the container.
5.5.2 Fan installed inside the container When the fan is installed inside the container, its on the inner side of container door near the ventilation thermal outlet of the PCS. The Dimension of the Fan and installation position below is just an examples. Please contact manufacture to confirm the Fan position for certain project.
5.5.3 Fan installed outside the container The standard external fan module is recommended and easy to install. When the fan is installed outside the container, its on the outward side of container door near the ventilation thermal outlet of the PCS. Fig.

Fig. 6-10 PWS1-250K series DC input DC wiring copper bar dimension Fig. 6-11 PWS1-250K series AC wiring copper bars dimension 6.1.4 System grounding The modules in the PCS realize grounding connection with the rack through hangers. As for rack grounding, the rack bottom is installed with grounded cooper bars. During wiring, refer to the following table for cable diameter.
Notice that the AC output neutral is not bonded to ground. Table 6-5 Grounding PE cable description Rated power Copper PE line section recommendation (mm²) 50kW ≥16 ≥25 100kW ≥35 150kW ≥45 250kW Rack and modules need to be grounded reliably! The grounding resistance should be less than 4Ω. 6.1.5 DC port wiring 1) Use a multi-meter to measure the voltage of storage battery port, and ensure that the voltage is within input voltage range of PCS.
3) Use a multi-meter to measure and ensure that the cables connected to the terminals are electrically neutral. 4) While grid-tied, A(L1)/B(L2)/C(L3) phases of AC output distribution switch of utility grid and PE are respectively connected to A(L1)/B(L2)/C(L3) phases of utility grid and PE. 5) If on-grid/off-grid switching function is to be achieved, extra power distribution unit and wires need to be added.
