The completed self-protection functions greatly improve the stability and reliability of the solar system. The Meikai Micro-inverter adopts totally enclosed potting technology to improve its enclosure protection rate to IP65. Page 6 Copyright MeiKai ENERGY 2012 REV 1.0...
205V to 253V and frequency of 50Hz. Depends on the two different ways of installation, 14 units are allowed in a branch if the N220 Micro-inverters are connected in series, 11 units are allowed in a branch if the N300 Micro-inverters are connected in series, if a busbar is used, the number of units is depending upon the wire diameter.
Each of the detailed installation steps in the following sections is numerically referenced in the installation diagram below. WARNING: DO NOT connect the Meikai Micro-inverter to the utility grid until you have completed all of the installation procedures as described in the following sections.

NOTE: Check the micro-inverter rating label for the maximum number of micro-inverters allowed on one AC branch circuit. Install a protective end cap on the open AC connector of the last micro-inverter in the AC branch circuit. Page 11 Copyright MeiKai ENERGY 2012 REV 1.0...
Check your local code for grounding conductor sizing requirement. Connect the grounding electrode conductor to the micro-inverter ground screw. Step 5-Connect the PV modules NOTE: Completely install all Micro-inverters and all system inter-wiring connections prior to installing the PV modules. Page 12 Copyright MeiKai ENERGY 2012 REV 1.0...
Meikai micro-inverter is in normal operation. Commissioning a Meikai Micro-inverter system: Connect each micro-inverter to the respective PV module (make sure the module is in normal operation), the RED LED on. Page 13 Copyright MeiKai ENERGY 2012 REV 1.0...
The LED indicats red,orange and green three different colors. Starting up With proper DC input voltage, the RED light on indicates the PV module is output power and the Meikai micro-inverter is staring up. Page 14 Copyright MeiKai ENERGY 2012 REV 1.0...
