  • Page 31: Using The Ms-Pae With Three-Phase Power

    Installation 2.3.6 Using the MS-PAE with Three-Phase Power The MS-PAE inverter’s AC input is designed to be connected to 120 VAC single-phase or 120/240 VAC split-phase power. On a 120/240 VAC split-phase power system, there are two 120-voltage phases (also known as “legs” or “lines”) that are 180° apart with a neutral connection centered between them.
  • Page 32: Figure 2-10, Connecting The Ms-Pae To Three-Phase Power Using A Buck-Boost Transformer

    Installation 2.3.6.1 Connecting the MS-PAE using a Buck-Boost Transformer A buck-boost transformer is designed to decrease (buck) or increase (boost) line voltage. As shown in Figure 2-10, to connect to the MS-PAE input, the buck-boost transformer must be capable of connecting 208 VAC on the primary side and step-up (or boost) to 240 VAC on the secondary side.
  • Page 33: Grounding Inverters

    Installation Grounding Inverters The MS-PAE Series inverters use two separate electrical systems (AC and DC power), therefore each electrical system is required to be properly connected to a permanent, common “ground” or “earth” reference. An inverter system that is properly grounded limits the risk of electrical shock, reduces radio frequency noise, and minimizes excessive surge voltages induced by lightning.
  • Page 34: Sizing The Grounding Electrode Conductors (Gec)

    Installation System Grounding – Takes one of the current-carrying conductors (Grounded Conductor–GC) and attaches it to the common ground point (Ground Busbar–GBB), usually by a System Bonding Jumper (SBJ) in each electrical service disconnect panel. On the DC side that is the negative conductor; on the AC side it’s the neutral conductor.
  • Page 35: Figure 2-14, Method 2 - Dc Ground Rod With Multiple Connections

    Installation Method 2 (see Figure 2-14): When the AC and DC service panels are near each other, then the AC grounding electrode conductor (GEC–AC) and DC grounding electrode conductor (GEC–DC) can be connected to a single grounding electrode (GE). In this method—since there are multiple connections to the DC grounding electrode—the size of the DC grounding electrode conductor (GEC–DC) cannot be smaller than the largest conductor in the DC system (usually the battery- to-inverter cable).
  • Page 36: System Bonding Jumper

    Installation 2.4.2 System Bonding Jumper The MS-PAE Series inverter/charger does not include an internal bond between the grounded conductor (AC neutral/DC negative) and the equipment grounding terminals. This bond [System Bonding Jumper (SBJ)] is usually done in the main distribution panel for each electrical system. CAUTION: There should be one and only one point in each electrical system (both AC and DC) where the grounded conductor is attached to the grounding electrode conductor.
  • Page 37: Installing Lightning Arrestors

    Installation Installing Lightning Arrestors Unfortunately, in Renewable Energy (RE) systems where components are wired to outdoor electrical systems, there is a greater chance of damage to these components from lightning strikes. Lightning does not have to strike directly to cause damage, it can be far away and still induce power surges or spikes in the wires of the RE system.
  • Page 38: Inverter Power Identifi Cation And Disconnect Location

    Installation 2.6.1 Inverter Power Identifi cation and Disconnect Location Requirements When an inverter is installed in a building, facility or structure, the NEC (National Electrical Code) requires a label or plaque to be provided. This label/plaque is required to be easily visible and provide information that informs personnel on the location of all electrical system disconnects.
  • Page 39: Functional Test For A Single Ms-Pae Inverter

    Installation Functional Test for a Single MS-PAE Inverter After all electrical connections to the AC source, main panel, inverter, batteries and sub-panel have been completed, follow these steps to test the installation and the inverter’s operation. CAUTION: Use a multimeter to verify the correct DC voltage for your particular inverter model (i.e., 48-volt battery bank for a 48-volt inverter), and to ensure the polarity of the battery voltage is correct (battery positive connected to inverter positive terminal, and battery negative connected to inverter negative terminal).
  • Page 40: Operation

    Operation Operation The MS-PAE Series inverter has two normal operating routines: 1) Inverter mode, which powers your loads using the batteries, and 2) Standby mode, which transfers the incoming AC power (i.e., utility power or a generator) to power your loads and uses this incoming power to recharge the batteries.
  • Page 41: Standby Mode

    Operation Standby Mode The MS-PAE Series uses an automatic transfer relay and an internal battery charger when operating in Standby mode. Standby mode begins whenever AC power (utility or generator) is connected to the inverter’s AC input. Once the AC voltage and frequency of the incoming AC power is within the AC input limits, the automatic AC transfer relay is activated.
  • Page 42: Figure 3-3, Automatic 4-Stage Charging Graph

    Operation falls below 170 VAC (or 85 VAC on either leg) – the charger stops charging to help stabilize the incoming AC voltage. The Charge mode provides up to four separate charging stages: Bulk Charging, Absorb Charging, Float Charging, and Full Charge. •...
  • Page 43: Transfer Time

    Operation 3.2.2 Transfer Time While in Standby mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the VAC dropout voltage (80 VAC per leg – default setting), the inverter automatically transfers back to Inverter mode with minimum interruption to any connected appliances—as long as the inverter is turned on.
  • Page 44: Protection Circuitry Operation

    Operation Protection Circuitry Operation The inverter is protected against fault conditions and in normal usage it will be rare to see any. However, if a condition occurs that is outside the inverter’s normal operating parameters, then it will shut down and attempt to protect itself, the battery bank, and your AC loads. If the inverter shuts down, it may be due to one of the following conditions (also refer to the Troubleshooting section to help diagnose and clear the fault condition).
  • Page 45: Inverter Start-Up

    Operation Inverter Start-Up ON/OFF Switch: The inverter can be turned on and off by lightly pressing and releasing the Power ON/OFF switch on the front of the inverter (refer to Figure 3-5). When the inverter is fi rst connected to the batteries, or when its automatic protection circuit has turned the inverter off, the ON/OFF switch will need to be pressed to start the unit (or reset per Section 6.1).
  • Page 46: Factory Default Values

    Operation Factory Default Values Your MS-PAE Series inverter/charger uses default values for the adjustable settings (shown in Table 3-2) that may be adequate for your installation. If some of your operating parameters need to be changed from the default values, the optional remote control can be used to make those changes.
  • Page 47: Inverter Fan Operation
