General Notes

1.3Intended use

The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules into AC voltage and feeds this into the power grid. The inverter is built according to the state of the art and recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use may cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result in damage to the unit and other property. The inverter may be operated only with a permanent connection to the public power grid.

Any other or additional use is not considered the intended use. Examples of unintended use include:

Mobile use

Use in rooms where there is a risk of explosion

Use in rooms where the humidity is higher than 95%

1.4Safety instructions

DANGER

Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and lines of the inverter even after the inverter has been switched off and disconnected!

Coming into contact with the lines and terminals in the inverter will cause serious injury or death.

Only authorised electricians who are approved by the supply grid operator are allowed to open, install and maintain the inverter.

››Keep all doors and covers closed when the unit is in operation.

››Do not touch the lines and terminals when switching the unit on and off!

The electrician is responsible for observing all existing standards and regulations.

Above all, be sure to observe standard IEC 60364-7-712:2002, “Requirements for Special Installations or Locations – Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Supply Systems”.

Ensure operational safety by providing for proper earthing, conductor dimensioning and appropriate protection against short circuiting.

Observe the safety instructions located on the inner sides of the doors.

Switch off all voltage sources and secure them against being inadvertently switched back on before performing visual inspections and maintenance.

When taking measurements while the inverter is live:

Do not touch the electrical connections.

Remove jewelry from your wrists and fingers.

Make sure that the testing equipment is in good and safe operating condition.

Stand on an insulated surface when working on the inverter.

Generally, the inverter may not be modified.

5.6.1Operating states

The Inverter has seven operating states. The explanations about each state are below.

Disconnected (default)

Before operation has commenced the inverter is in the disconnected state. In

 

this state, the inverter is totally isolated from the PV array and the utility grid.

 

 

Connecting to the PV array

When the inverter is in the “Disconnected” state, the ‘Inverter On’ button on

 

the GUI is selected and the PV voltage is kept above 400V for 5 seconds, the

 

system turns on the PV Array side contactor (PV_MC).

 

 

Connecting to Grid

When the inverter is in the “Connecting to PV Array” state and the PV volt-

 

age is kept above the value of “MPPT V Start” parameter during the time set

 

by “MPPT T start” parameter, the contactor on the grid side is turned on. The

 

inverter keeps this state for 8 seconds.

 

 

Initializing MPP

The inverter calculates the MPPT start voltage which is product of measure-

 

ment of PV voltage and the parameter “MPP Factor”. After 5 seconds, the

 

inverter system enters into the “MPP start” state.

 

 

Table 3: Operating states

 

Page 28

Operating Instructions Powador XP500/550-HV-TL

Storage/Installation/Start-up

MPP start

In this state, the inverter controls the PV voltage. Reference of the PV voltage

 

is determined by MPPT start voltage which is calculated at “Initializing MPP”

 

state.

 

 

MPPT

If the PV voltage approximates the MPP start voltage (value of “MPPT V

 

Start” parameter), the MPPT will start. The inverter follows the MPP target

 

value automatically, which is varied by irradiance values. If the MPP target

 

value is out of the allowable MPPT range ([MPP start voltage - MPP Range

 

lower] ~ [MPP start voltage + MPP range upper]), the system will return to the

 

“Initializing MPP” state and will recalculate the MPPT start voltage.

 

 

System stop (Disconnected)

When the “OFF” button in the GUI is selected, the PV Array side contactor

 

and the Grid side contactor are turned off and the system stops. If the output

 

power of inverter is kept below value of “MPPT P stop” parameter during

 

time of “MPPT T stop” parameter, connection to the grid is terminated.

 

 

Fault

If a fault occurs during operation, the system stops. The system resets the

 

fault and tries to remove the fault. In the case that system removes a fault

 

successfully, system restarts all by itself. The system tries to remove the fault

 

at intervals of “MPPT Start” parameter since the last try until trial count

 

reaches to the number set in an “Auto Fault Reset Count” parameter. After

 

the number reaches to the “Auto Fault Reset Count” parameter, the system

 

will log an error and the system will not try to restart.
