Grounding Direct Current (DC) Alternating Current(AC) Check the user manual before service. CE mark.
(PV) strings into alternating current (AC) power, and feed the power into the power grid. This document involves the following product models: CSI-3K-S22002-E, CSI-5K-S22002-E, CSI-5K-S22003-E. PV grid-connected system mainly includes PV modules, DC switch, inverter, AC switch, electricity meter, and local grid.
The nameplate provides a unique identification of the inverter (Product type, device -specific characteristics, certificates and approvals). The nameplate is on the left side of the enclosure. Product Name: Grid-connected PV Inverter CSI-5K-S22003-E Model Number: Vmax. PV(absolute max.): 600V dc MPPT Voltage Range: 100~500V dc Max.
4 Storage The following requirements should be met when the inverters need to be stored: Do not unpack the inverter. Storage temperature: –40°C ~ +70°C. Storage humidity: 0% ~ 100%RH (Non-Condensing). The warehouse should be clean, well-ventilated, and non-corrosive gas, meanwhile it should be accessible all the time. No smoking, no illegal use of electricity and fire.

6.2 Mounting Wall-mounting Bracket To avoid electrical shock or other injury, please inspect existing electronic or plumbing installations before drilling holes. Danger Installation steps: 1) Use the wall-mounting bracket as a template and mark the positions of the drill holes, then drill the 4 holes accordingly, as per FIG.
7 Electrical Connection 7.1 Safety Danger to life due to lethal voltages in the inverter! Before performing any work on the inverter, must disconnect both AC and DC sides. Danger Damage to electronic components may happen due to electrostatic discharge. Take appropriate ESD precautions when replacing and installing the inverter.
Install an independent two-pole circuit breaker at the output side of the inverter for protection, the recommended AC circuit-breaker specifications are as follows: Inverter type AC circuit-breaker specifications CSI-3K-S22002-E CSI-5K-S22002-E CSI-5K-S22003-E Recommend AC cable length: Conductor cross section 4.0mm Conductor cross section 6.0mm Inverter type (Allowed Max. length) (Allowed Max.

2)When using flexible cables, the conductor must be connected with suitable core end ferrules according to DIN 46228-4, as per FIG. 7-4. FIG. 7-4 Crimp the Three-core’s Ferrule Insert the L, N, and PE conductors into the corresponding pins of the plug (as per FIG. 7-5), then tighten the fastening screws by screwdriver to fix conductors firmly.
7.6 Wiring DC Input Note: The DC connectors are in paired (negative and positive ones). Pay attention to the polarities when assembling. FIG. 7-8 DC Input Connectors 7.6.1 Requirement for DC input The single-phase inverters are equipped with one or two MPP trackers. Requirements for PV modules strings: 1) Same type PV modules for each string.
FIG. 7-11 Illustration of DC Ports 7.6.3 Connecting PV array (DC input) Ensure the DC switch and AC breaker both are disconnected from the inverter before connect the PV arrays. Never connect PV array positive or negative pole to the ground, it could cause serious damages to the Danger inverter.
10 Commissioning Inverter 10.1 Electrical Inspection 1) Check PE connections with multi-meter: To make sure all the bare metal surfaces of the inverter are grounded. 2) Check DC voltage value: Check if the DC voltage of the PV string exceeds the allowable range. 3) Check the polarities of the DC voltage: To make sure the DC polarities are correct.
11 Daily Maintenance Risk of inverter damage or personal injury due to incorrect service! Always keep in mind that the inverter is powered by dual sources: PV array and utility grid. Before any service work, observe the following procedure. 1) Disconnect the inverter from the utility grid side first and then PV array; 2) Wait at least 5 minutes after shun down the inverter, for inner capacitors to discharge DANGER completely;...
