  • Page 10 FREESUN SERIES – String Supervisor POWER ELECTRONICS CAUTION SPECIAL HAZARDS OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS Photovoltaic systems have special characteristics that can represent special hazards:  An active power source is connected. This means that, regardless to the operating mode of the inverter, there may be voltage present, either from the photovoltaic generator and/or the FREESUN.
  • Page 11 FREESUN ACCESSORIES – String Supervisor POWER ELECTRONICS INTRODUCTION The photovoltaic installations are formed by the series and parallel connection of solar panels. Through series connection, strings of solar panels are formed. The total voltage of this string is the sum of each individual voltage of each panel.
  • Page 12 FREESUN SERIES – String Supervisor POWER ELECTRONICS STRING SUPERVISOR DESCRIPTION The DC current generated by the panels, is transformed into AC current and synchronized in voltage and phase by the solar inverter, and injected into the electric distribution grid, getting by this economical profit selling the energy to the Company.

  • Page 17 Characteristic impedance: 120Ω The recommended maximum cable length is 1200m for a data transmission speed of 100Kbps. For longer distances please contact Power Electronics. Excessive bending of RS485 cables can reduce their ability to meet the RS485 specification. Standard „Thick‟ cables shall have a bending radius of greater than 75mm (3”). Standard „Thin‟ cables shall have a bending radius of greater than 50mm (2”).
  • Page 18 Software and Programming Manual of the solar inverter. Power Electronics recommends prior reading and complete understanding of the Software and Programming Manual of the solar inverter for the proper adjustment of parameters of both the inverter and the String Supervisor.
  • Page 19 FREESUN ACCESSORIES – String Supervisor POWER ELECTRONICS When installing the String Supervisor, it is necessary to make some adjustments on the main screen in order to display data on the screen. The following adjustments will be made:  Change parameter [G1.12 String Connected] to YES.
  • Page 20 FREESUN SERIES – String Supervisor POWER ELECTRONICS Once inside group G10.2:  A maximum of 16 strings can be controlled by one String Supervisor. As the String Supervisor only has 8 channels, de values of [Num Str] can be 0, 1 or 2. This is why the user has to select in each channel the total number of series in the string.
