2. Safety
2.1 Intended Use
CPS Mini Central series inverters are to be used solely to feed solar energy converted
photovoltaically into the public grid. CPS Mini Central series inverters are multi-string
inverters with multi-MPP trackers, which mean they are able to connect to different PV
module arrays. The equipment may only be operated in compliance with its intended use.
Grid-tied PV system Overview:
Fig2.1
The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connection to the public power
grid. The inverter is not intended for mobile use. Any other or additional use is not
considered as intended use. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages resulting
from unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use is at the sole risk of the
operator.
As drawings shown above, a complete Grid-tied PV system consists of PV modules, PV
inverters, public grid and other components. Moreover, PV inverters always act as key
components.
PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents:
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with
cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not exceed
5000nF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells to earth, the size of
which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed (e.g. foil on metal roof)
and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal" leakage current may not exceed 300mA due
to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically disconnect from the electricity
grid as a protective measure.
User Manual 5 / 43 CPS Mini Central series
Page 7
Prior to installation, inspect the unit to ensure absence of any
transport or handling damage, which could affect insulation
integrity or safety clearances; failure to do so could result in
safety hazards.
Unauthorized removal of necessary protections, improper use,
incorrect installation and operation may lead to serious safety,
shock hazards or equipment damage.
In order to minimize the potential of a shock hazard due to
hazardous voltages, cover the entire solar array with dark
material prior to connecting the array to any equipment.
Grounding the PV modules: Comply with the local requirements for
grounding the PV modules frame and the PV generator.
CyberPower strongly recommends grounding the generator frame in
order to have optimal earth protection to PV generating system and
personnel.
Some components in the inverter are live. Touching live
components can result in serious injury or death.
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter
All work on the inverter may be carried out by qualified
personnel only.
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory, mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.

The CPS Mini Central series is to be used solely to feed solar
energy converted photovoltaic into the public grid. The inverter is
suitable for mounting both indoors and outdoors.
You can use the AC current generated as follows:
House grid:
Energy flows into the house grid. The consumers
consume the energy with household devices or
lighting. The left energy is fed into the public grid.
When the CPS Mini Central series do not generate any
energy, e.g., at night, the consumers which are
connected are supplied by the public grid. The energy
displayed on the LCD of inverter is for reference only.
When energy is fed into the public grid, the wattmeter
spins backwards. Note that the wattmeter should be
bi-direction type under such application.
Public grid:
Energy is fed directly into the public grid. The CPS Mini
Central series need install a separate wattmeter.
