1. SAFETY WARNING !!! HIGH LIFE RISK DUE TO FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION. The Sunsynk Parity Hybrid Inverter can only be installed by a qualified licensed electrical contractor. This is not a DIY product. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before installation.
15. Ground connection 16. Data logger The Sunsynk Hybrid Parity Inverter is a highly efficient power management tool that allows the user to hit those ‘parity’ targets by managing power flow from multiple sources such as solar, main electrical grids, and generator, and then effectively storing and releasing electric power as the utilities require.

3.4.1. Installing the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as "Zero Export".
Ground cable shall be connected to ground plate on grid side this prevents electric shock. if the original protective conductor fails. All neutrals can be linked together to maintain the neutral bond. When Neural Earth bond is required for off-grid, then it has to be removed on grid-tied operation. Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: sales@globaltech-china.com...
Page 20
Since the inverter is a true hybrid then the bond must only be made when the inverter is operating in Islanding Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is connected to the A/T/S connections whenever the inverter is running on Island Mode. Therefore, you can simply connect the coil of an AC relay to the ATS 240 connections.
For example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. Open-circuit voltage (Voc) of PV modules does not exceed max.

The generator can be controlled via a relay, which is a set of dry contacts. The current on these contacts is limited to 1 Amp 12v, approximately. Below is a simple reference circuit that I used to auto-start generators on a boat. Sunsynk will release a new OS E406 with better Gen control.
Shutdown causes the inverter to enter standby mode. It will not completely shut down the inverter. The total shutdown is below 19V. The voltage displayed on the Sunsynk Parity Inverter will vary depending on whether the inverter is charging or discharging the batteries.
The batteries normally used in the recommended Sunsynk systems are AGM lead acid or lithium battery bank. (‘AGM’ The Absorbed Glass Matt construction allows the electrolyte to be suspended near the plate's active material. In theory, this enhances both the discharge and recharge efficiency.)
Page 34
NOTE Some types of lithium battery the BMS cannot be controlled by Sunsynk inverter. In this case, treat the battery as a lead-acid type and set the charging and discharging protocol following the battery manufacturer specification.
Page 35
For example, for a 200AH battery array that could be composed of 4×200 power batteries in series has a maximum charge and discharge of only 50A. Also, ensure the cable is thick enough to support the current and proper fuse following the recommendations of the battery manufacturers.

It allows small amounts of power to flow from the grid (set as 100W in this case) to prevent any backflow. In this example, the PV generator prioritizes to supply the load first and then to charge the battery secondarily, Website: www.sunsynk.com E-mail: sales@globaltech-china.com...

The Sunsynk parity inverter can be wired standalone or where more power is required it can be connected in parallel either single or 3 phase configuration. The maximum number of inverters that can be paralleled in a single phase utility grid is three (10.8kW, 16.5kW, and 26.4kW for the 3.6kW, 5.5kW, and 8.8 kW model, respectively) and the maximum number that can be paralleled in a three phase utility grid is nine (32.4kW, 49.5kW, and 79.2kW for the 3.6kW, 5.5kW, and 8.8 kW model, respectively).
