3.5.2 Declaration for Back-Up Function The following statement involves general policies about the inverters described in this document. 1 For hybrid inverters, the electrical installation typically includes connection of the inverter to both PV modules and batteries. If there is no available power from batteries or PV modules in backup mode, the backup power supply will be auto- matically terminated.
Page 13
NOTE • The data of the compatibility for backup of Hybrid Inverter are based on the test with batteries (-20 ~ 55 ℃, 5~100% SOC). For the actual application, please refer to the maximum output capacity of the battery used. For those loads that not covered in this document, please contact your installer to make sure the compatibility of the specific loads under o -grid scenario.
4. FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 4.1 Protection Several protective functions are integrated in the inverter, including short circuit protection,grounding insulation resistance surveillance, residual current protec- tion, anti-islanding protection, DC overvoltage / over-current protection, etc. 4.2 Energy Conversion and Management The inverter converts the DC power from the PV array or the battery to the AC power, in conformity with the grid requirements.
Page 15
4.2.5 Load Control The inverter has an integrated multiple-function dry-contact (DO relay), which can be used for load control via a contactor. 4.3 Battery Management The maximum allowable charge/discharge current is limited to the smaller value among the following: • Temperature; •...
Page 16
4.4 Feed-in limitation function The function of the feed-in limitation is to control the amount of power injected in the grid by the plant. In some situations,this function is also called as Export limitation or Zero export. The feed-in limitation function requires a power measurement device must be installed.
5. STORAGE The following requirements should be met if the M1 series inverter is not put into use directly: • Do not unpack the M1 series inverter. • Keep the storage temperature at –40°C to +70°C and the humidity at 5%– 95% RH. •...
6. INSTALLATION 6.1 Installation information DANGER Fire hazard • Do not install the inverter on flammable material. • Do not install the inverter in an area in which flammable or explosive material is stored.

Page 23
6.4.2 Space Requirements Angle Requirements The inverter can be wall-mounted or pole-mounted. The installation angle requirements are as follows: • Install the inverter vertically or at a maximum back tilt of 15 degrees to facilitate heat dissipation. • Do not install the inverter at forward tilted, excessive back tilted, side tilted,horizontal, or upside down positions.
Page 24
ATTENTION Mechanical damage • In order to prevent injuries and damage to the device, ensure that the inverter is kept balanced while it is being moved - it is very heavy. • Do not place the inverter on its connections, as these are not designed to bear its weight.
7. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 7.1 Safety instructions This topic describes the electrical connections of the inverter. Read this section thoroughly and carefully before connecting the cables. DANGER Electrical voltage at the DC connections. • Ensure that the DC switch is OFF before establishing the electrical connection.
