Islanding is a condition when grid connected PV/ batteries back feed energy into the Grid when Grid is turned off for maintenance work, putting maintenance personal at serious risk. Flex HV-EU series inverters prevent islanding through Active Frequency Drift (AFD).
3.1 Basic features The Flex HV-EU Series hybrid inverters are designed to work with PV modules, battery, mains supply and electrical loads. Hybrid inverter helps to optimize on-site consumption, charge battery with surplus PV energy and supply energy from battery to meet load.
Page 9
On site consumption of PV energy is the highest priority. Excess generation is used to charge batteries, and finally export to grid. Work mode: Feed in Use Priority: PV generated energy to a. Meet load b. Export to grid c. Charge battery Figure 3-3 Feed in Use Mode This mode is preferred for areas with Feed-in Tariff.
Charging may be set flexibly, and the rest of time is in self-use mode. Work mode: Back up Use Priority: PV generated energy to a. Charge battery b. Meet load c. Buy from grid Figure 3-6 Back up Use Mode This mode applies to area that face frequent power outages.

Do not lift it alone. When lifting, ensure that the unit is firmly held to avoid risk of accidental tipping or dropping.
To hang the inverter over the bracket, move the inverter close to it, slightly lower inverter making sure the 4 mounting bars on the back of the inverter is fixed well with 4 grooves on the bracket. Figure 5-5 Wall Mount Bracket 5.7 Electrical Connection For an overview of the connection terminals of the inverter please refer to Figure 3-7, and for other wiring details, refer to chapter 3.1.
Communication connection 5.7.1 PV Connection Before connecting PV strings to Flex HV-EU Series hybrid inverter, ensure the following: The total short- circuit current of PV string must not exceed inverter’ s maximum DC current. Make sure that open circuit voltage of PV string is less than 1000V.
Figure 5-8 4. Insert striped cable into pin contact and ensure all conductor strands are captured in the pin contact. Figure 5-9 5. Crimp pin contact by using a crimping pliers(PV-CZM-22100). Put the pin contact with striped cable into the corresponding crimping pliers and crimp the contact.

1. Battery Power Cable Connection 1) Prepare tin-plated cables of conductor cross section of 4 to 6 mm² (AWG 10). 2) Strip 15mm insulation off the conductor. Use a suitable stripping tool for this (e.g. "Knipex Solar 121211"). 3) Open spring using a screwdriver (Figure 5-11). Figure 5-11 4) Carefully insert the stripped wire with twisted conductors all the way in (Figure 5-12, A).
Figure 5-16 5.7.3 AC Output Connection Flex HV-EU series inverters have already integrated RCMU (residual current monitoring unit) inside, however if an external RCD is required, a type A RCD with rated residual current of 30mA or higher is recommended.

Failure could result in in fire and lead to death or serious injury. Don’t connect the line/phase cable to 'PE' terminal, failure will result in improper operation of the inverter.
5.7.4 Earth Connection One may earth the inverter enclosure of a second earth or equipotential bonding if required under local regulations. This prevents touch current if the original protective conductor fails. Cable size: 12AWG Connection step: Strip the earthing cable insulation. ...
