    Converter), as well as the Stabiliti 30C Dual Port PCS. It should be used in conjunction with other product documentation provided by CE+T Power (“CE+T”), which are referenced throughout this Quick Start Guide. The intended audience is engineering lab personnel familiar with high-voltage/high-power systems and the general safety issues related to the wiring and use of 3-phase AC power and high-voltage battery and PV systems.
  • Page 8: System Specifications

    System Specifications 4. System Specifications The Stabiliti Series PCS uses a novel Link Transformer coupled with CE+T’s proprietary Power Packet Switching Architecture™ (PPSA) to deliver full galvanic isolation between the AC and DC power ports. This isolation also delivers greater flexibility with regards to DC wiring options, either floating or grounded are supported which are hardware configured on the DC power connection board.
  • Page 9: Product & Port Interchangeability

    System Specifications 4.3 Product & Port Interchangeability The Stabiliti Series PCS 30C & 30C3 share a common hardware and firmware platform. This document describes the general case of the 30C3. Aside from the integral battery pre-charge circuit on DC2, the DC2 and DC3 ports on both products are operated and controlled identically and may be configured for either battery or PV.

    PCS Installation 5. PCS Installation 5.1 Unpacking and Inspecting the PCS The Stabiliti is pallet shipped, and is enclosed in a purpose-built heavy-duty cardboard box. Once unpacked, inspect the PCS for any obvious shipping damage. Immediately contact your shipper and CE+T regarding any damage noted. You may also save the box with foam in the event it is needed to transport the converter.

  • Page 14: High-Voltage Wiring

    High-voltage Wiring 7. High-voltage Wiring During initial setup of the PCS and before connecting AC and DC power sources, it is recommended that the user first operate the PCS with only the Aux 24 Vdc power supply connected. Doing so enables validation of communications and access to the Modbus control interface and the various configuration, control, and monitoring features supported by the Stabiliti Series PCS and detailed later in this document.
  • Page 15: Ac External Circuit Protection And Disconnect

    High-voltage Wiring AC connections are made to the bottom terminals designated as PHASE A, PHASE B, and PHASE C, refer to Figure 3. Torque these terminals to 45 in·lbf (5 Nm). Note that the PCS will automatically adapt to phase sequence (phase rotation) if operating in a grid- tied mode.

    High-voltage Wiring 7.3 DC2/DC3 Connect Board Figure 4: 30C3 DC2 and DC3 Connect Board 7.3.1 DC Grounding The battery and PV array connections share a common negative connection via DC COM. They are not electrically isolated from one another. In the factory default configuration, this common negative DC connection is grounded within the PCS via a 1 A fuse. This is the recommended configuration for a solar plus storage multiport application.
  • Page 17: Alternate Dc Wiring

    High-voltage Wiring Common Error: The two terminals labeled GFDI Sense on the lower left of the DC interconnect board are not used for standard 2-wire battery or PV connections. These accommodate legacy 3-wire or 4-wire bipolar DC configurations and are used in conjunction with the unipolar/bipolar jumper.
  • Page 18: Communications And Modbus Interface

    Communications and Modbus Interface 8. Communications and Modbus Interface 8.1 PCS Configuration, Control and Monitoring All Stabiliti Series Converters are configured, monitored, and controlled via the Modbus TCP (or Modbus RTU) interfaces. CE+T strongly recommends incorporating TCP-based communications into your Energy Storage System (ESS). The Modbus interface consists of a series of 16-bit holding registers each with its own unique Modbus address.

  • Page 20: Scaling Factors

    Communications and Modbus Interface The DC2 and DC3 maximum voltage limits and maximum current limits should be updated from the factory default and saved to flash to reflect your battery or PV array safe operating voltage ranges. The PCS will fault and go offline if a voltage limit is reached. The PCS will attempt to soft limit current flow if a current limit is reached, otherwise it will fault and go offline.
