Installation

Checklist for installation

For installation information, see the following chapters:

Switch off the power supply before establishing a mains connection.

Mount the Fronius Smart Meter TS (see Installation on page 18).

Connect automatic circuit breakers or automatic circuit breakers and discon-

nectors (see Protective circuit on page 18).

Connect the mains cable to the Fronius Smart Meter TS (see Cabling on

page 19).

Mount the current transformers on the conductors. Make sure that the cur-

rent transformers are pointing in the correct direction. An arrow either points to the load or the source (public grid) (see Connecting the current trans-

formers on page 22).

Connect the current transformer and Fronius Smart Meter TS (see Connect-

ing the current transformers on page 22).

Make sure that the current transformer phases match the mains voltage

phases (see Connecting the current transformers on page 22).

Note down the nominal current of the current transformer for each meter.

These values will be required during setup.

Connect the data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter

TS to the Fronius system monitoring (see Connecting the data communica-

tion cable to the inverter on page 23).

If necessary, set terminating resistors (see Connecting the terminating res-

istor on page 24).

Tug on each wire and plug to make sure that they are securely connected to

the terminal blocks.

Switch on the power supply to the Fronius Smart Meter TS.

Check the firmware version of the Fronius system monitoring. To ensure

compatibility between the inverter and the Fronius Smart Meter TS, the software must always be kept up to date. The update can be started via the inverter web page or using Solar.web.

Set the transformation ratio of the current and voltage transformers (see

Setting the transformation ratio of the current and voltage transformers on

page 34).

If several Fronius Smart Meter TS are installed in the system, set the address

(see "Setting the address" under Setting the address on the Fronius Smart

Meter TS on page 35).

Configure and commission the meter (see Start-up on page 37).

Installation The Fronius Smart Meter TS can be

mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. The housing comprises 3 modules according to DIN 43880.

Protective circuit

Auxiliary power supply cabling

The Fronius Smart Meter TS is a hard-wired device and requires a disconnecting device (circuit breaker, switch or disconnector) and overcurrent‑protection (automatic‑circuit breaker).

The Fronius Smart Meter TS consumes 10 - 30 mA, the nominal capacity of the disconnecting devices and the overcurrent‑protection is determined by the wire thickness, the mains voltage and the required breaking capacity.

Disconnecting devices must be mounted within sight and as close as possible

to the Fronius Smart Meter TS; they must also be easy to use. The disconnecting devices must satisfy the requirements of IEC 60947-1

and IEC 60947-3, as well as all national and local regulations for electrical systems. To monitor more than one mains voltage, use connected‑automatic circuit

breakers. The overcurrent‑protection must protect the mains terminals with the desig-

nations L1, L2 and L3. In rare cases, the neutral conductor has an overcurrent‑protection, which must interrupt both neutral and non-earthed cables concurrently.

IMPORTANT!

An auxiliary power supply is required to operate the Fronius Smart Meter TS. The fuse (F) must comply with the national standards and guidelines as well as the dimensions of the conductors.

Cabling IMPORTANT!

Always switch off the power supply before connecting the mains voltage inputs to the Fronius Smart Meter TS.

Recommended thickness of stranded mains voltage cables for the terminals of the measuring input and measuring output:

Wire: 1 - 4 mm²

Recommended torque: max. 0.6 Nm

The measuring inputs of the current transformers must be earthed on one side as shown in the circuit diagram.

Connect each voltage cable to the terminal strip as shown in the graphics below.

1 phase, 2 conductors (CT connection)

1 phase, 2 conductors (VT/CT connection)

2 phases, 3 conductors (CT connection)

2 phases, 3 conductors (VT/CT connection)

3 phases, 3 conductors (CT connection)

3 phases, 4 conductors (CT connection)

Selection criteria for current transformer

3 phases, 4 conductors (VT/CT connection)

General

Do not use current transformers with a voltage output. Current transformers are directional. If they are mounted backwards or with swapped wires, the measured power will be negative.

Primary current

Maximum current per phase. A current converter with a primary current greater than the maximum expected current per phase should be selected. The closer the expected current is to this value, the more precise the measurement will be.

Secondary current

The current transformer must supply alternating current at a nominal current of 1 or 5 A. The nominal values for the current transformer are listed in the current transformer data sheet.

Power

The Fronius Smart Meter TS needs 0.5 VA to carry out its measurements. Losses also occur on the outgoing and return leads. The power of the current converter

must be greater than the sum total of the power of the Fronius Smart Meter TS and the leads. The higher the power, the better.

5 2.5 0.2 VA 0.4VA0.9 VA 1.8 VA 3.6 VA

5 4 - - 0.6 VA 1.1 VA 2.2 VA

Example

The length of the outgoing and return lead (0.5 m each) between the Fronius Smart Meter TS and the current transformer is a total of 1 m and has a copper cable cross-section of 1.5 mm²; the line resistance is therefore 0.6 VA according to the table above. The self-consumption of the Fronius Smart Meter TS is 0.5 VA. Line resistance 0.6 VA + self-consumption 0.5 VA = 1.1 VA → A current transformer with a rating of 1.5 VA, 5 VA or higher is suitable here.

Accuracy class

Use Class 1 or better (Class 0.5 / 0.2, etc.). Class 1 is equivalent to a deviation of ± 1% of the secondary current at maximum power.

Mounting

Rigid or hinged "Rigid" is usually cheaper with better power and accuracy values. Hinged current transformers can be opened for attachment to the conductor. To prevent it being opened inadvertently, a plastic cable tie can be secured to the current transformer. Hinged current transformers can be installed in a system without interrupting the voltage.

Connecting the current transformers

Suitable voltage transformers

Make sure that the current transformers match the voltage phases. Make

sure that current transformer L1 measures the current on the same phase that is monitored by voltage input L1. The same applies for phases L2 and L3.

Make sure that the current transformers are pointing in the correct direction.

Observe the data sheet for the current transformer.

Note down the nominal current of the current transformer for each meter.

These values will be required for setup.

Attach the current transformers to the conductor to be measured and con-

nect the cables of the current transformer to the Fronius Smart Meter TS.

IMPORTANT!

Always switch off the power supply before disconnecting live conductors.

The current transformers are connected to connections 4 and 5; 6 and 7; 8

and 9. If necessary, excessively long cables can be shortened accordingly. Observe the sequence in which the phases are connected. Accurate power measurement is only ensured if the mains voltage phases match the current phases.

Only voltage transformers with a voltage range from 220 to 480 V (phase phase) and from 100 to 277 V (phase - neutral conductor) may be used. The

voltage transformers must be connected to terminals 1, 2, 3 and N at the point of direct voltage measurement.

Connecting the data communication cable to the inverter

Connect the data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter TS to the Modbus interface of the Fronius inverter using a network cable (type CAT5 or higher).

Several Smart Meters can be installed in the system, see chapter Multi-meter

system - Fronius SnapINverter on page 27.

To avoid interference, the terminating resistor must be used (see chapter

Connecting the terminating resistor

on page 24).

Terminating resistors - Explanation of symbols

IMPORTANT!

More information on successful commissioning.

Note the following information about connecting the data communication cable to the inverter.

Use network cables of type CAT5 or higher.

Use a mutual twisted cable pair for corresponding data lines (D+/D-, M1+/

M1-). If the data lines are close to the mains cabling, use wires or cables that are

designed for 300 to 600 V (never less than the operating voltage). Use double-insulated or sheathed data lines when they are close to bare con-

ductors. Use shielded twisted pair cables to avoid faults.

Two wires can be installed in each terminal; the wires are twisted first, inser-

ted into the terminal and tightened. Note: A loose wire can disable an entire area of the network. The data communication connections of the Fronius Smart Meter TS are

electrically isolated from hazardous voltages.
