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 is as follows: Inverter type AC circuit-breaker specifications CSI-5K-S22002-E CSI-5K-S22003-E Recommend maximum AC cable length: Inverter type Conductor cross section 4.0mm Conductor cross section 6.0mm...
7 Electrical Connection FIG. 7-5 AC Terminal Positions 3) Push the threaded sleeve into the plug, screw the press nut tightly. FIG. 7-6 Tighten the AC Connector 4) Finally, insert the AC connector into the corresponding AC receptacle on the inverter. Pay attention to the polarities to make sure the correct assembling.
7 Electrical Connection 7.6.1 Requirement for DC input This single-phase inverter is equipped with two MPP trackers. Requirements for PV modules strings: 1) Same type PV modules for each string. 2) The power, voltage (startup and open-circuit voltage) and operating current of each PV strings must meet the allowable value of the inverter.
7 Electrical Connection FIG. 7-15 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.
