CALCULATING DC INPUT VOLTAGE
To Calculate Maximum Open Circuit Voltage
• Calculate the maximum open circuit (no load) voltage for each series module
connection. Refer to the Advanced Energy Solar Energy web site and select the
String Calculator to calculate the input from the PV array.
Contact AE Solar Energy Technical Support if you require assistance
calculating the maximum DC input voltage for your array at your specific
location.
☞
Important
Each DC input connection must be wired to deliver the same input voltage.
☞
Important
For all temperature conditions, the open circuit voltage for each series
connection must be less than or equal to 600 VDC.
DC COMBINER SUB PANEL OPTIONS
The inverter comes with standard positive and negative bus bars for landing DC
inputs from the PV array.
An optional DC circuit breaker subcombiner can be factory installed. Standard
configurations include 8, 16, or 20 DC circuit breaker configurations are available as
shown in the figure below. Monitoring can be included on the 8 and 16 circuit
breaker configurations.
