Application environment restrictions: When the DC-DC Converter is working in stand-alone mode, there are some restriction to the application environment. •Several DC-DC Module independent working is the customized function.When require the multi-string input and multi-string output, please contact manufacture to do the customization.
5 Storing, lifting and transporting 5.1 Safety during Transport If the lifted or suspended load falls over, falls or sways, there is a risk of crushing Vibration or careless or hasty lifting and transport can cause the product to tip over or fall. This can result in death or serious injury.
6 Installation 6.1 Safety during Installation Risk of electric shock caused by live voltage There is a high voltage in the live components of the product. Touching field components can result in death or seriousness electric shock damage. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for all work on the product. Do not touch any live components.
6.2 Mechanical Installation 6.2.1 Mounting preparation Drilling Mounting Holes is required in the Foundation. The overall dimension of the DC-DC Converter is shown in figure below. Fig. 6-1 Overall dimensions of the DC-DC Converter cabinet, width: 800mm, height: 2160mm (without lifting rings); depth: 1100mm. Green threshold height 60mm,If you don't have enough height to enter the room, you can take it off.
Fig. 6-2 the DC-DC Converter rack wiring hole in bottom view There are two hole in each corner, only one hole need to mount bolts, the other hole is used as a spare. 6.2.2 Preparation for Mounting on a Base After the rack is removed to the installation position of BESS (battery energy storage system) with a forklift or a tool.
6.3.2 Output requirement The DC-DC cabinet output is DC that charges the battery. Maximum current can be 390A. 6.3.3 Wiring mode The wiring mode of the The DC-DC cabinet is down inlet and down outlet, the incoming and outlet wiring holes located in bottom of the PCS cabinet. The cables put into the cable trough via the wire holes at the base.
Table 6-3 description for wiring components of DC-DC cabinet 6.3.4 System grounding The modules in the DC-DC cabinet realize grounding connection with the rack through hangers. As for rack grounding, the rack bottom is installed with grounded cooper bars. During wiring, refer to the following table for cable diameter.
Rack and modules need to be grounded reliably! The grounding resistance should be less than 4Ω. 6.3.5 DC port wiring The DC port wiring should be done before power on, the detailed DC port wiring could be seen in installation manual.

10 Maintenance 10.1 Safety during Maintenance There is a high voltage in the live components of the product. Touching field components can result in death or seriousness electric shock damage. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment for all work on the product. Do not touch any live components.
If the DC power distribution parts is affected by adverse environmental conditions, it is recommended to shorten maintenance interval. Sinexcel recommends an optical inspection in regular periods to determine maintenance requirements Consumables and maintenance materials Only those consumables and maintenance materials are usually not included in standard equipment list.
