The distributed microinverter system ensures that no single point of system failure exists across the PV system. APsystems microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient temperatures of up to +65°C (+149° F). The inverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and complies with the IP67 environmental enclosure rating.
60, 72, 84 and 96 cell PV modules. For more information, please see the Technical Data page (p.18) of this manual, or sign in APsystems website to obtain a solar panel list which can match with APsystems Microinverters: www.APsystems.com...
An AC GFCI device should not be used to protect the dedicated circuit Special Statement! to the APsystems microinverter even though it is an outside circuit. None of the small GFCI devices (5mA-30 mA) are designed for back feeding and will be damaged if back feed. In a...
Even if they are plugged into the solar array, they will not turn themselves on until they can read power from the grid. Do NOT connect APsystems Microinverters to the utility grid or energize the AC circuit until you have completed all of the installation procedures as described in the following sections.
Installation Procedures Step 3 - Connecting the APsystems Microinverter AC Cables to the AC bus cable Click Figure 3 Cover all unused T connectors with Bus Cable T-CONN Cap to protect the T connectors. Figure 4 AC connector interface as follows, from left to right PE, N, L3, L2, L1.
Installation Procedures Step 4 - Connecting APsystems Microinverters to the PV Module Place the PV modules into position on the racking and connect the DC input cables to the microinverters based on optimum layout configuration (up to four PV modules per microinverter).
Double check to make sure all of the AC and DC wiring has been correctly installed. Ensure that none of the AC and/or DC wires are pinched or damaged. Make sure that all of the junction boxes are properly closed. APsystems YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual...
Each APsystems microinverter has removable serial number labels. Peel labels off, and affix one to the respective location on the APsystems installation map, and affix another to the PV module frame which is easy to see.The warranty cards can be obtained from the appendix of this manual or APsystems website: www.APsystems.com...
2. Turn ON the main utility-grid AC circuit breaker. Your system will start producing power after a five-minute safety delay period. 3. The APsystems Microinverters will start to send performance data over wireless to the ECU.The time required for all the microinverters in the system to report to the ECU will vary with the number of microinverters in the system.
Always disconnect AC power before disconnecting the PV module wires from the APsystems microinverter. The APsystems microinverter is powered by PV module DC power. Make sure you disconnect and reconnect the DC connections to watch for the three short LED flashes indicating start up.
Verify the PV module DC voltage is within the allowable range shown in the Technical Data of this manual. If the problem persists, please call APsystems Technical Support. Do not attempt to repair the APsystems microinverter. If troubleshooting methods fail, please call APsystems Customer Support. APsystems YC1000-3 Installation/User Manual...
Follow the procedure to replace a failed APsystems Microinverter A. Remove the APsystems microinverter from the PV Module, in the following order: Disconnect the AC by turning off the branch circuit breaker. Cover the module with an opaque cover.
APsystems website www.APsystems.com. You must match the DC operating voltage range of the PV module with the allowable input voltage range of the APsystems Microinverter. The maximum open circuit voltage of the PV module must not exceed the specified maximum input voltage of the APsystems microinverter.
