Module fastening bolts Fig. 5-7 Module fastening bolt position in the back side of each module After confirming the above items and finished and tested, open the back door of the PCS and remove the module fastening bolts. Note: Make sure that the module fastening bolts on the back side of power module have been removed before moving the converter into the container.
5.5 Installation in container 5.5.1 Container internal layout distance Internal layout can be customized design according to customer’s requirements. Please contact the manufacture to know the internal layout for specific project. The distance between PCS side steel plate and container wall is no less than 50mm to ensure that the PCS can be installed inside the container.
5.5.2 Fan installed inside the container When the fan is installed inside the container, its on the inner side of container door near the ventilation thermal outlet of the PCS. The Dimension of the Fan and installation position below is just an examples. Please contact manufacture to confirm the Fan position for certain project.
5.5.3 Fan installed outside the container The standard external fan module is recommended and easy to install. When the fan is installed outside the container, its on the outward side of container door near the ventilation thermal outlet of the PCS. Fig.

Model System air Ventilation air volume Module Inlet air area Outlet demand area PWS1-500K series 5000 M³H 6400 M³H 0.6 m 0.8 m This ventilation volume requirement is also applicable to the indoor installation. 5.5.5 Installation of Fan module Fan module (including fans and fan covers) need to be disassembled when the container commissioning and transportation.
For the multi-string models. Every DC input circuit branch in PCS should be able to operate independently. For multi-string models (e.g. PWS1-500KTL-XX), each DC input is independent from the other and should be connected with individual battery system. The batteries need to be connected to each branch port.

Fig. 6-9 PWS1-500K series AC wiring copper bars dimension 6.1.4 System grounding The modules in the PCS 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.
5) Confirm wiring firmness. Rated power Copper DC line section recommendation (mm²) ≥35 mm² Each single core cable 95mm²(Single Core) or four 70mm²(Single Core) or thicker cable 500kW Three cross-sectional area. Disconnect DC distribution switch and ensure that there is no dangerous voltage in the system during wiring. The positive and negative poles of batteries cannot be connected inversely.
6.1.7 Wiring of terminal strips Except power cable connection in the whole PCS, there are also auxiliary power connection, input and output of some node signals. All of them are led to the terminal strips with cluster cables in the rack. The port definition of external wiring for terminal strips is shown in figure below.

6.2.1 Connecting the EMS over RS485 or Ethernet Sinexcel’s PCS has several different communication interfaces: Ethernet, RS-485 and CAN. When connecting to the Sinexcel or other brand EMS, the communication port is default as RS 485 as shown below. The Ethernet communication port can also used to connecting EMS according to the requirements for certain project.
If the BMS use Ethernet communication port, a Ethernet-CAN protocol converter is needed . That Ethernet-CAN protocol converter should be bought by the user and its beyond Sinexcel’s scope of supply. The PCS communicates with battery management unit (BMS) to monitor battery state information, give an alarm and provide fault protection for battery according to the battery state and improve the safety of storage battery.
