During wiring, disconnect the circuit breaker, and confirm that the "+" and "-" pole leads of each part are connected correctly. If the "BATT Input Mode" is selected as "Shared," all the inverter/chargers connected in parallel are connected to the same battery pack. Ensure that the cable length of each inverter/charger to the battery pack is the same.

In parallel installation, if the Utility and PV supply power together, a certain deviation (inequality) in the output power exists for each inverter/charger. The larger the difference between each inverter/charger’s Utility charging current, the greater the CAUTION deviation in output power. This is the internal loop of the inverter/charger, which will not affect the normal operation of the Utility bypass.

Operation for "BATT Input Mode": Operation for "Phase Set": Parallel parameters setting for Phase A After three phase wiring is completed, the “Phase Set” of each inverter/charger in Phase A needs to be changed to “Phase A”. See the example of screen display on the slave unit for two inverter/chargers in Phase A below.

displayed. After the inverter/chargers are turned on, the load circuit breaker can only be connected after ensuring the phases are set correctly through the home screen or WARNING parameters “Phase Set”. When the inverter/chargers are installed in three phase, and connect the utility input to Phase A, B and C, make sure the phase connection is the same as the setting in “Phase Set”.

When connecting the utility for bypass charging, if only the utility breaker of a certain inverter/charger is disconnect, be careful that the utility input terminals of this WARNING inverter/charger still have power. Step 5: If there is no fault alarm, indicates the three phase parallel system is completely installed. Step 6: Please connect all circuit breakers on the load side, and the parallel system will start to provide power to the load.
