  • Page 23: Installing The Ct Coil

    Installing the CT Coil The CT coil is one of the most important parts of the Sunsynk Parity inverter. This device reduces the power of the inverter to prevent feeding power to the grid. This feature is also known as “Zero Export”.
  • Page 24: Earth Connection (Mandatory)

    Since the inverter is a true hybrid, then the bond must only be made when the inverter is operating in Island- ing Mode. To accommodate this, Sunsynk provides an AC output, which is connected to the A/T/S connec- tions whenever the inverter is running on Island Mode. Therefore, you can simply connect the coil of an AC relay to the ATS 240 connections.

    The batteries recommended for use with the Sunsynk systems are AGM Lead Acid or Lithium Battery Banks. At its core, an AGM is still a lead-acid battery. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat, which refers to the tech- nology these devices use to create power. This fiberglass mat sits between the positive and negative lead plates of your battery.
  • Page 45 NOTE: With some types of lithium batteries, the BMS cannot be controlled by the Sunsynk inverter. In this case, treat the battery as a lead-acid type and set the charging and discharging protocol following the battery manufacturer's specifications.
