    1. SAFETY 1.1. General Safety This device should only be used in accordance o instructions within this manual and in ƒ compliance with local, regional and national laws and regulations. Only allow this device to be installed, operated, maintained, repaired by other persons who have also read and understood this manual.

  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    1.3. Safety Instructions HIGH LIFE RISK DUE TO FIRE OR ELECTROCUTION. The Sunsynk Single-Phase Hybrid Inverter can only be installed by a qualified li- censed electrical contractor. This is not a DIY product. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly before installation.

  • Page 7: Product Introduction

    2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION The Sunsynk Single-Phase Hybrid 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, mains power (grid) and generators, and then effectively storing and releasing power as and when utilities require.

  • Page 13: Selecting The Mounting Area

    4.2. Selecting the Mounting Area DO NOT install the inverter in the following areas: ƒ Areas with high salt content, such as the marine environment. It will deteriorate the metal parts and possibly lead to water/dampness penetrating the unit. ƒ Areas filled with mineral oil or containing splashed oil or steam such as found in kitchens. It will deteriorate plastic parts of the unit, causing those parts to fail or allow water/damp to penetrate the unit.

  • Page 14: System Diagram

    4.3. System Diagram ALSO CONSIDER: ƒ Installing the indoor unit, outdoor unit, power supply cable, transmission cable, and remote control cable at least 1 metre away from any television or radio receiver. This will prevent TV reception interference or radio noise. This will prevent radio signal interference from external units that might interfere with the Wi-Fi or GSM monitoring.
  • Page 15 Risk of injury (Heavy Object) Remember that this inverter is heavy so users must be careful in handling the unit during installation especially when mounting or removing from a wall. Choose the recommend drill head(as shown in below pic) to drill 4 holes on the wall, 52-60mm deep.

  • Page 17: Battery Connection

    4.6. Battery Connection For safe operation and compliance, a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device is required between the battery and the inverter. In some applications, switching devices may not be required but over-current protectors are still required. Refer to the typical amperage in the table below for the required fuse or circuit breaker size.

  • Page 18: Recommended Dc Battery Protection

    All wiring/connecting must be performed by qualified personnel. Before making the final DC connection or closing the DC Breaker/disconnection device, ensure the inverter unit is wired correctly. A reverse-polarity connection on the battery will damage the inverter. 4.6.1. Recommended DC Battery Protection Grid Load RS485...

  • Page 21: Connecting The Ac

    4.9. Connecting the AC Before connecting to grid, please install a separate AC breaker between inverter and grid. Also, it is recommended that installs an AC breaker between backup load and inverter.This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current.

  • Page 23: Installing The Ct Coil

    4.10. Installing the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduc- es the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as “Zero Export”.
  • Page 24 If the CT coil is fitted in the wrong way then this variable will have negative instead of positive val- ues when the power is flowing into the house/inverter. Also, the inverter export limiting function will not work properly. Hybrid Inverter | Installer Manual Page | 24...

  • Page 25: Earth Connection (Mandatory)

    Since the inverter is a true hybrid then the bond must only be made when the inverter is oper- ating in Islanding Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is con- nected 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.

  • Page 56 When communications between battery and inverter does not exist, do not over- charge your battery bank (current or voltage). Many lithium batteries are limited to 100A, some are lower and some are higher. Ensure that voltage and current speci- fications provided by the battery manufacturer are followed. If you are using lead acid batteries then follow the equation of C x 0.25 which means that the maximum charge or discharge you can apply to a battery is a quarter of the AH rating of the overall battery array.

    ƒ Set the phase in which the inverter will be paralleled. ƒ Set the Modbus SN for paralleling. 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 and the maximum number that can be paralleled in a three phase utility grid is fifteen.
  • Page 63 For stability, all the batteries need to be connected in parallel. It is recommended a minimum cable size of 50mm diameter with fuse isolators to each inverter. Each invert will require a fuse isolator with surge protection and each group circuit will require an RCD.
