  • Page 19 Grid the nominal output power of inverter is 110V Load 230V and there could be loads of 110V or Back-Up Load (230V) 220V. To Smart Meter 220V Load Declaration For Back-Up Function The below statement lays out the general policies governing the hybrid inverter. 1. For hybrid inverters, the standard PV installation typically consists of the connection of the inverter with both panels and batteries. In case of systems not connected to the batteries, the Back-Up function is strongly not advised to use. GoodWe shall not cover the standard warranty and be liable for any consequences arising from users not following this instruction. 2. Under normal circumstances, the Back-Up switching time is less than 10 ms (the minimal condition to be considered as the UPS level). However, some external factors may cause the system to fail on Back-Up mode. As such, we recommend the users to be aware of conditions and follow the instructions as below: 1) Do not connect loads if they are dependent on a stable energy supply for a reliable operation. 2) Do not connect the loads which may in total exceed the maximum Back-Up capacity. 3) Try to avoid those loads which may create very high start-up current surges such as Inverter Air-conditioner, high-power pump etc. 4) Due to the condition of battery itself, battery current might be limited by some factors including but not limited to the temperature, weather etc. Declaration For Back-Up Loads The hybrid inverters are able to supply over load output at its’ Back-Up. For details please refer to the technical parameters of the hybrid inverter. And the inverter has self-protection derating at...
