2 Safety Precautions 2.1 Important Safety instructions This user’s manual is about installation and operation of Sinexcel PWS1-500K series Bi-directional Storage Inverter (PCS). Before installation, please read this user’s manual carefully. The PCS must be commissioned and maintained by the engineers designated by the manufacturer or the authorized service partner.
Page 11
IEC 60417-5041 Watch surface ISO 7000-1641 Refer to the operation manual Any contact with copper bar, contactor and terminal inside the device or connected with the loop of utility grid might result in burning or fatal electric shock. Don’t touch any terminal and conductor connected with the loop of utility grid. Pay attention to any instruction and safety documents about power on-grid.
Page 12
Large leakage current Before connecting input power supply, please ensure that the grounding is reliable. The device must be grounded complying with the local electric codes. When storage battery is connected to PCS, there may be DC voltage at input port. Please pay attention to it during operation or check the battery system user manual Don’t touch electric parts within 15 minutes after switchin off! There is dangerous energy in capacitance storage.
Certificate of quality 1 copy The electronic document can be downloaded from Sinexcel’s website or provided by Sinexcel’s staff. 4.2 Safety during Transport If the lifted or suspended load falls over, falls or sways, there is a risk of crushing Vibration or careless or hasty lifting and transport can cause the product to tip over or fall.
Damaged frame structure of the PCS due to uneven support surface Placing the PCS on an uneven surface can cause bending, which causes the PCS door to no longer close properly. This can cause moisture and dust to seep into the PCS. Do not place the PCS on an unstable, uneven surface, even for short periods of time.
Fig. 4-1 Moving PCS Before the rack is moved, please ensure that the module is fixed stably. 4.3 Unpacking the PCS Please take care to protect the PCS inside the package when unpacking. PCS can’t be inverted and the vertical tilt angle should not exceed 30 degree. 5 Mechanical Installation 5.1 Safety during Installation Risk of electric shock caused by live voltage:...
Page 18
Do not touch any live components. Observe all warning messages in products and documents. Obey all safety information from the battery manufacturer. Electric shock hazard caused by DC cable: The DC cable connected to the battery is live. Contact with live cables can cause electrocution, death or serious injury and shock.
Be sure to always tighten the live bolt connection using the correct torque specified in this document. Use only the right tools when working on the device. Avoid repeatedly tightening the live bolt connection as this may result in unacceptably high torque. 5.2 Installation requirements 5.2.1 Environment requirements It is installed indoor.
At the rear of the rack, heat dissipation should be guaranteed and ventilation equipment needs to be installed so as to ensure that the heat emitted from the storage inverter can be discharged outside the machine room. 5.2.4 Operation space The installation space of the PCS should have a proper distance from its peripheral walls so as to ensure that the machine door can be opened and closed conveniently and there will be sufficient space for module insertion and extraction, normal heat dissipation and user’s operation.

As for rack grounding, the rack bottom is installed with grounded cooper bars. During wiring, refer to the following table for cable diameter. The grounding resistance should be less than 4Ω. Notice that the AC output neutral is not bonded to ground. Table 6-5 Grounding PE cable description Rated power Copper PE line section recommendation (mm²)
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. Before wiring, a multi-meter needs to be used for measurement. 6.1.6 AC port wiring 1) Use a phase-sequence meter to ensure that the phase sequence is positive (R-W-B).
All wires are connected to the wiring terminals externally from the wiring holes at the bottom of PCS. After wiring, fireproofing compound should be used to seal the wiring holes. 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.

Fig. 6-13 Definition of touch screen communication ports The LAN (Ethernet) port is used for communication. The USB port is used for system update or the logs export. The other communication ports in the back of touch screen have been wired to the wiring terminal strip ports.
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.
