• The warranty is not applicable if the products has been modified. • Observe, the EnergyHub equalizes imbalance between the phase conductors and uses the systems neutral conductor. Large imbalance causes large currents in the neutral conductor. • The DC contact shall not be connected when the EnergyHub is powered up.

Introduction The EnergyHub is an inverter for the modular solar power systems, with new features. The EnergyHub does not only convert direct current from PV-panels to alternating current, but can also be used around the clock as an active electricity meter.

DC nanogrid The EnergyHub can be used with PV-panels and/or Energy Storage in order to utilize renewable, locally produced, energy. This is enabled through the optimizers as they work as DC/DC converters for solar power and Energy storages. The EnergyHub works as a bidirectional bridge between the DC nanogrid, created by the optimizers, and the AC grid inside the facility.
EnergyHub Products EnergyHub 7 or 14 kW Mounting plate, wall. 3 current sensors with 10m connection cables. Contact Ferroamp for other sizes. Contact for current sensors Contact for DC grid connection Five pole three phase contact for AC grid connection...
Location of the EnergyHub • Make sure there is enough space around the EnergyHub to enable a safe installation and steady airflow. • Mount the EnergyHub indoors or in a suitable enclosure with sufficient ventilation. • The wall and fasteners needs to be able to carry at least 25 •...
Current sensor installation • There are 3 available current sensors. The size of the current transformer is decided of the current flowing through the cable and its physical size. < 100 A, ratio 2000 < 160 A, ratio 4000 < 600 A, ratio 6000 Page 7 of 19...

See wiring diagram in section 4 • The EnergyHub has an automatic calibration for each of the current sensors which handles the current direction and phase. • Observe. In order to facilitate the analysis and identifying different loads in the facility the sensor marked with 1 should be connected to L1, 2 with L2 and L3 with 3 •...
EnergyHub. The connection cable for the EnergyHub needs to be able to handle the heat that may occur. E.g. for an EnergyHub with 20 A ACE the current in the neutral conductor can be 34 A...
Internet connection • The EnergyHub requires Internet connection in order to present data on the Ferroamp portal and receive software updates EnergyHub Connections Page 10 of 19...
Commissioning • Start the EnergyHub by turning on the disconnect switch on the AC side. • Wait 1 minute for the display to start. • Press the display until “Service menu enabled” shows to enter the setup menu. • When the finger is removed the “Start and Stop” view is shown. If it fails, please try again without moving the finger.
DC connection • Ensure that the EnergyHub is turned off. Do not connect the DC grid contact if the EnergyHub is powered on. • Connect the cables to the 3-pole DC contact as shown below. Please note the order of the cables.
• 3Gx1.5 mm cables, between the SSO and distribution board • 3Gx6 mm cable, between the distribution board and EnergyHub 14 kW • 4x10 A DC rated fuses • 1 disconnect switch rated for 20 A and 1000 VDC Page 13 of 19...
