System description
The KP100L converts DC power obtained from the solar modules into the AC power that is used in businesses,
and enables interconnection with the grid.
This makes it possible to purchase power from the grid during periods when the load is high, and to sell power to
the grid during periods when the load is low. (Please note that a contract must be concluded with the grid for this
purchasing and selling transaction.) The system configuration of the KP100L is shown in the figure bellow.

MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
3 pairs of positive and negative DC input channels are connected to three sets of MPP Tracking.
The output power of solar modules varies depending on the sunshine irradiation and the temperature of the
modules. In order to use the unstable output of the solar modules efficiently, the KP100L searches for the
operating voltage that will produce the maximum output power while it converts the DC input voltage. The
KP100L has 3 MPPT. The topology of the MPPT is mainly a booster. Each booster steps up the DC input voltage
to a higher DC BUS voltage. User can connect differently-aligned string as 3 MPPT operate independently as
illustrated in the figure bellow. This construction achieves high power generation and flexible sizing of PV string.
DC Bus
The three sets of MPPT store DC power via the DC/DC booster to the DC bus.
DC/AC Inverter
The DC bus is connected to the DC/AC inverter, which converts DC power to AC power.
Grid-Connection Relays
The two relays, RLY1 and RLY2, control the connection of the KP100L to grid via CPU1 and CPU2.
Output Lines
4 output lines (L1, L2, L3 and N) and PE represent the 3-phase 4-wire AC power transmission to grid.

The KP100L is designed to control the voltage of negative pole on solar module as same voltage level as Neutral

As a result, the voltage of negative pole on solar module is approx. zero. According to this function, you can use

DC switch / circuit breaker is an obligatory prerequisite stipulated by DIN VDE 0100-712, the installation standard
for PV systems in Germany. For safety point of view during working on an electrical device, it is necessary to
disconnect from the energy supply. DC circuit breaker between the PV modules and the inverter is used. Select

Where the PV inverter by construction is not able to feed DC fault currents into the electrical

Ground fault breaker / RCD (Residual Current Device)
For KP100L, the use of RCDs type B is not indispensable and RCDs type A can be used.
IEC712.413.1.1.2 describes about Residual Current Devices (RCDs) as follows:
KP100L has built-in fault current protection function required in Germany standard of
VDE V 0126-1-1:2006-02, so DC residual current can be detected and cannot flow to the grid.
Notice of selecting RCD
• The use of RCDs for each unit is recommended.
• In(rated residual operating current of RCD) has to be selected according to the local regulations about the
system configuration, and residual current caused by capacitive characteristic of cable and PV modules.
• In the systems which DC current detection of In<30mA is required, type B has to be used.
• KP100L has built-in fault current protection function but residual current is not zero, so the more KP100L
installed units, the much residual current flows in the grid. When multiple KP100L are installed, downstream
RCD(for KP100L) and upstream RCD has to be determined by consideration of increasing residual current.
• Ultimately, the selection of RCD depends on System Integrators' judgment. OMRON provide this information
for selection of RCDs, but we are not responsible for the selection of RCD.

SPD is used to protect the inverter against lightening surge voltage in AC line.

Wiring the KP100L to the Solar Modules
• First make sure the maximum open circuit voltage Voc of each PV string is below 850 VDC under any
condition.
• Always connect solar module positive (+) terminal to KP100L DC positive (+) terminal, and the solar module
negative (-) terminal to KP100L DC negative (-) terminal.
• KP100L has 3 MPPT. Usually solar modules are connected to 3 DC terminals as illustrated in figure below.
Mount the enclosed MC caps onto MC connector that is not used. Each set of DC terminals takes a maximum
DC input of 13A. 3 pairs of DC terminals can take a combined input of up to 33A. Maximum PV input power for
each tracking is 5,500W.
• One PV-panel can be connected to 3 DC input as illustrated in figure below. To fully optimize the PV output
set-up, use the following configuration guidelines:
(a) For PV output 13A, use a single pair of DC terminals.
(b) For 13A PV output 26A, use 2 sets of DC terminals.
(c) For 26A PV output 33A, use 3 sets of DC terminals.
Attach the enclosed MC caps that is not used
Each input ≤ 13A, 5500W

Be especially careful about electric shocks during the daytime, because that is when the solar modules are in the
power generating mode. Confirm the polarity of the cable from the solar modules to ensure correct connection
and make sure that there is no slackness of MC connectors.

Each of the Inverter has been installed to be used in accordance with the instructions listed in the manual or the
product specification; eg. ambient temperature, annual operation time, installation place, no direct exposure to
sun light and direct rain fall, mounting distances and protection against toxic gas and other harmful gas
environment, dust and other contamination.
Ensure that you have checked and verified the following points:
The provided mounting base plate for the KP100L is attached and fixed securely and correctly.
The inverter is mounted securely in the mounting base plate.
There has been no use of parts or accessory other than Omron has provided and/ or specify.
There has been no drop-off of the inverter or damage given when the inverter are installed and set up.
There has been no mechanical stress, which applies continuously yet negligible, such as vibration or shock to
the inverter.
The heat sink of the inverters is purged to avoid any clog of air convection and do not place any objects close
to the air duct.
All the wires and cables are connected to correct polarity.
MC connectors have been fastened and not deteriorated.
"Screws of AC cable" has been fastened.
Cover foreside R has been fastened and the cable clamps have been tightened correctly.
Solar modules have been installed properly and they perform as designated.
Open circuit voltage MUST not exceed 850 VDC under operating temperature (-20 to 60C).
Short-circuit DC current MUST not exceed 13 A DC per one DC input.
Cables on AC side have low resistance enough to constrain an increase of the grid voltage at the terminal of
connection (or other side of grid transformer) and loss is less than 1% of rated power of the inverter.
There has been a protection against lightening surge put on DC side of the inverter, in particular, in a place
where it is often seen
There has been a protection against surge (spike) voltage and grid instability on AC grid lines to avoid any
adverse influence from a nearby construction work or similar unusual event
There has been a protection against a less quality grid connection, in particular, in an industrial estate or near
one
There has been no modifications performed by a party other than OMRON in a product specification.
There has been no other apparatus without grounding (eg. washing machine) on the same grid lines.
There has been no installation or set-up such as that cause the inverter to chatter repeatedly intervention and
re-generation of power at startup and stop.

Setup level for control
of grid voltage increasing
If the voltage of the inverter is higher than threshold, the
inverter control the voltage by reducing output current
[An example]
The voltage level for control of grid voltage increasing becomes
251V when the OV level is 253V, and Setup level for control of
grid voltage increasing is -2.0V.
[10] Setup level for control of the grid voltage increasing
This is a function to prevent increasing of the grid voltage by controlling the output current when the grid voltage
increases. This function can control the voltage of the inverter terminal before reaching OV level.
Setup level for control of the grid voltage increasing can decide the level of the grid voltage that controls the
output current. The level for control of the grid voltage increasing is a level which decreases Setup level from the
OV level.

Remedy for Professional
Ground faults are being caused by electrical appliances, the KP100L, or the solar
modules.
1. Check to make sure that the ground faults are not being caused by electrical
appliances.
2. If no abnormalities are found, contact the store from which you purchased the
product to measure the insulation resistance of the KP100L and the solar modules. Also
describe the circumstances under which the problem happens (for example, the
problem occurs on the morning after a rainy day, etc.).
