3.4 Working Principle The MAX-X series inverter works as follows: 1>The PV panels gather solar to generate DC power to inverter. 2>With input current detection circuit, it can monitor all the PV panels' working status 400V 400V 480V 480V and use MPPT to track the maximum power point. 230V 3>With inverter circuit change DC power to AC power, and feed power back to grid per grid reuqirement.
Unpacking Installation Checking before installation •To prevent device damage and personal injury, keep balance when 1>Before unpacking the inverter, check the outer packing materials for damage. moving the inverter because it is heavy. 2>After unpacking the inverter, check that the contents are intact and complete. If any •Do not place the inverter with its wiring and signal terminals at the bottom contacting with floor or any other object because the terminals damage is found or any component is missing, contact your supplier.
J. Do not install inverter close to strong electromagnetic signal. K. Install the inverter out of children's reach. 5.2 Installation Environment Requirements A. Although the inverter's protection level is IP 66, to extent inverter lifespan you still need to avoid rain and snow, please refer to following drawings. Fig 5.5 D.
1>Use the wall mount plate as a template drill holes on the wall and put in expansion Plan 2(Optional): bolts. 1>As shown in Fig5.8, 4-6 persons lift the inverter out of package, swap the ring to moving handles. 2>When you are moving the inverter, please keep the balance. Notice: There will be front and bottom mark on the package.
When you lock the cover screw, the torque force should be 20kgf·cm. 3>Measure the grid voltage and frequency, please refer to chapter 10. AC breaker specification: Inverter model Breaker model 图 5.14 MAX 100KTL3-X LV 200A/400Vac MAX 110KTL3-X LV 250A/400Vac MAX 120KTL3-X LV 250A/400Vac...
