2.4 Working Principle

Conceptual Diagram
The SUN2000 receives inputs from eight PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into four MPPT routes inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through an inverter circuit. Surge protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides. Figure 2-10 shows the SUN2000 conceptual diagram.
Figure 2-10 SUN2000 conceptual diagram
Working Modes
The SUN2000 can work in standby, operating, or shutdown mode. Figure 2-11 shows the relationship between the three working modes.

5.6 Connecting DC Input Power Cables

Prerequisites
Before connecting DC input power cables, ensure that the DC voltage is within the safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the two DC switches on the SUN2000 are OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage may result in electric shocks.
When the SUN2000 is grid-tied, it is not allowed to maintain DC input power cables, such as connect or disconnect a string or a module in a string. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur.
Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the SUN2000 will be damaged, or even a fire disaster will be caused.

The highest open-circuit voltage of each PV string is always lower than or equal to 1000 V DC.
The positive and negative terminals of a PV module connect to the positive and negative DC input terminals of the SUN2000 respectively.
If the DC input power cable is reversely connected, do not operate the DC switches and positive and negative connectors immediately. Wait until the solar irradiance declines at night and the PV string current reduces to below 0.5 A. Then, turn off the two DC switches, remove the positive and negative connectors, and correct the polarity of the DC input power cable.
Ensure that the PV string is well insulated to the ground. If the SUN2000 is directly connected to the power grid with a neutral wire connected to the PGND cable (for example, a low-voltage power grid or a power grid with a neutral wire grounded), do not ground the positive and negative terminals of PV strings. Otherwise, the SUN2000 may be damaged. The caused equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope.
During the installation of PV strings and SUN2000, the positive or negative terminals of PV strings may be grounded if power cables are not properly installed or routed. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000. The caused equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope.
Context
The PV strings must meet the following requirements if they need to be grounded:
A three-phase isolation transformer is installed on the output side.
One isolation transformer must be installed only for one SUN2000. Do not connect two or more SUN2000s to the same isolation transformer. Otherwise, the SUN2000s may fail to work due to the loop current generated between them.
Set Isolation to Input grounded, with TF on the SUN2000 APP, SmartLogger, or NMS.
DC terminal selection
Figure 5-27 shows the DC terminals at the bottom of the SUN2000. Table 5-3 describes
the requirements for DC terminal selection.
The SUN2000 provides two DC switches, namely, DC SWITCH 1 and DC SWITCH 2. DC SWITCH 1 controls the first to fourth routes of DC input terminals, whereas DC SWITCH 2 controls the fifth to eighth routes of DC input terminals.

After crimping the positive and negative metal terminals, ensure that the cables are crimped tightly such that they cannot be pulled out by a force less than 400 N.
Insert the crimped metal terminals of the positive and negative power cables into the appropriate positive and negative connectors. Then pull back the DC input power cables to ensure that they are connected securely.
Figure 5-28 Preparing a connector
Step 2 Ensure that the DC input voltage of each PV string does not exceed 1000 V DC using a
multimeter and check that the polarities of the DC input power cable are correct.
If the voltage is a negative value, the PV string is reversely connected. Correct the polarity.
If the voltage is greater than 1000 V DC, too many PV modules are configured. Remove some PV modules.

Figure 5-33 Communication mode for multiple SUN2000s
The RS485 communication distance between the SUN2000 at the end of the daisy chain and the SmartLogger cannot exceed 1000 meters.
If multiple SUN2000s need to communicate with one another and are connected to a PC over the SmartLogger2000, a maximum of six daisy chains can be configured.
To ensure the system response speed, it is recommended that the number of devices on each daisy chain be less than 30.
PLC Communication
The PLC communication board loads communication signals onto power cables for transmission. For details about how to install the PLC, see the PLC CCO01A User Manual and SmartLogger2000 User Manual.
The built-in PLC module in the SUN2000 does not need to be connected with cables.
Selecting a Communication Mode
The RS485 and PLC communication modes are mutually exclusive.
If the PLC communication mode is selected, do not connect the RS485 communications cable. In addition, you need to set PLC communication to Enable on the SUN2000 APP.
If the RS485 communication mode is selected, do not connect the PLC CCO module to the AC power cable. In addition, you are recommended to set PLC communication to
Disable on the SUN2000 APP.
PLC communication is set to Enable by default.

5.7.2 Selecting a Mode for Connecting RS485 Communications Cables

Description
RRS485 communications cables can be connected in two ways:
− Terminal block connection
You are advised to use the DJYP2VP2-22 2x2x1 computer cable or a communications cable with a conductor cross-sectional area of 18 AWG and an outer diameter of 14–18 mm (0.55–0.71 in.).

The login password is the same as that for the SUN2000 connected to the app and is used only when the SUN2000 connects to the app.
The initial passwords for Common User, Advanced User, and Special User are all 00000a. Use the initial password upon first login. To ensure account security, change the password immediately after login.
During the login, if an incorrect password is entered for five consecutive times (the interval between two consecutive invalid password entries is less than 2 minutes), the account will be locked for 10 minutes. The password consists of six digits.
Step 6 Enter the password and tap Log In. Step 7 After the successful login, the Quick Settings screen or Function Menu screen is displayed.
If you log in to the app after the device connects to the app for the first time or factory defaults are restored, the Quick Settings screen will be displayed on which you can set basic parameters. After the settings take effect, you can enter the main menu screen and modify the parameters on the Settings screen. By default, the SUN2000 can be grid-tied and you do not have to set parameters.
You are advised to log in to the Quick Settings screen as an advanced user for parameter settings.

The CAN communication is normal.
The PV power supply is normal.
The activation starts when either of the preceding two conditions is met.
Local upgrade of the SUN2000 APP
Remote upgrade over the SmartLogger
The PV input voltage is greater than 500 V.
The output power is greater than 1 kW.
The activation starts when either of the preceding two conditions is met.
Remote upgrade over the NMS

7.1.4 Upgrading

Context
Upgrade delay is mainly used in the upgrade scenarios where the PV power supply is disconnected at night due to no solar radiation or unstable at dawn or dusk due to poor solar radiation.
After the SUN2000 upgrade starts, if Upgrade delay is set to Enable, the upgrade package is loaded first. After the PV power supply recovers and the activation conditions are met, the SUN2000 automatically activates the upgrade.
Upgrade delay is set to Enable by default, which means that the upgrade can take place at day or night. After enabling Upgrade delay, start the SUN2000 upgrade over the USB, SmartLogger, or NMS. The
SUN2000 upgrade process contains the following two stages:
1.
2.
Table 7-4 Conditions for starting delayed activation
The monitoring component caches and loads the upgrade package. Upgrade package activation starts when the following conditions are met.
When upgrading the SUN2000 remotely, do not perform local operations for the SUN2000.
If the SUN2000 needs to be upgraded when the PV power supply is unavailable at night due to no solar radiation or unstable at dawn or dusk due to poor solar radiation, ensure that the SUN2000 AC output connects to the power grid.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to http://support.huawei.com/carrier/ and browse or search for SUN2000 on the
Product Support tab page. Download the required upgrade package (for example, SUN2000 V200R002C20SPCXXX) from the Software tab page.
