SmartRE System Safety

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: Lethal Voltage

Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy. Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 Vac and 1000 Vdc) to verify the de-energized condition.

Do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the installation instructions unless qualified to do so or as instructed to do so by OutBack Power Systems Technical Support personnel.

WARNING: Burn Hazard

Internal parts can become hot during operation. Do not remove the cover during operation or touch any internal parts. Be sure to allow them sufficient time to cool down before attempting to perform any maintenance.

WARNING: Fire Hazard

In residential installations: check for multi-wire branch circuit wiring at the location for the installation. A possible fire hazard can exist if 120 Vac only sources (such as inverters and generators) are wired incorrectly into 120/240 Vac panels containing multi-wire branch circuits. Consult the local electric code for assistance.

Do not place combustible or flammable materials within 12 feet (3.7 m) of the equipment.

Use only the recommended cable sizes (or greater) for AC and DC conductors in compliance with local codes. Ensure all conductors and connections are in good condition. Do not operate the unit with damaged or substandard cabling.

PV Safety

Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

When connecting cables from the inverter to the battery terminals, ensure the proper polarity is observed. Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment.

Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no tools or equipment have been inadvertently left behind.

Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced and that all vents are clear of obstructions that can prevent proper air flow around or through the unit.

Sensitive electronics inside the equipment can be destroyed by static electricity. Be sure to discharge any static electricity built up before touching the equipment and wear appropriate protective gear.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays can be energized with minimal ambient light available. Therefore to ensure a safe disconnect from the system, be sure to install a PV disconnect, breaker, or accessible fuse box (depending on local code requirements).

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

PV Arrays must be wired with correct polarity (positive-to-positive, negative-tonegative). Connecting the cables incorrectly can damage or destroy the equipment.

Battery Safety

WARNING: Electrocution Hazard

Use the battery types recommended by OutBack Power Systems. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance.

Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around batteries.

Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean of debris.

Always use insulated tools. Avoid dropping tools onto batteries or other electrical parts.

Keep plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are turned off so you don’t cause a spark.

If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the automatic starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.

Planning

Applications

The SmartRE is intended for grid-interactive applications using photovoltaic (PV) panels to harvest solar energy and a battery bank to store the harvested energy. The SmartRE has AC input terminals which connect it to the utility grid, and AC output terminals which connect it to a "critical load" subpanel for backup power. Normally grid power is transferred from the input directly to the output, to run the critical loads. When excess PV is available from the batteries, the SmartRE supports those loads with the PV. When the PV exceeds the load requirements, the SmartRE sells that excess power back through its input, to the utility grid. When the utility grid is not available, the SmartRE takes over to run the critical loads with PV and energy stored in the battery bank.

SmartRE models include:

SRE-2500-120-NA – 2500 W, 120 Vac/60 Hz

SRE-2500-120/240-NA – 2500 W, 120/240 Vac/60 Hz

SRE-3000-120-NA – 3000 W, 120 Vac/60 Hz

SRE-3000-120/240-NA – 3000 W, 120/240 Vac/60 Hz

SRE-5000--120/240-NA – 5000 W, 120/240 Vac/60 Hz

SRE-6000-120/240-NA – 6000 W, 120/240 Vac/60 Hz

Maximum PV input voltage: 150 Vdc VOC including maximum voltage temperature correction.

Maximum PV operating voltage: 145 Vdc V volta

including maximum

e temperature correction.

Figure 3 Typical Grid-Interactive Application

PV Array Planning

MATE2 Installation

A MATE2 System Controller and Display is included for system configuration and monitoring activities. The MATE2 uses a proprietary communications protocol to network multiple components. It uses a Category 5 (CAT5) (8IATIA 518B) PC non-crossover network cable for connection and can be placed up to 1000 feet (300 m) from the electronics enclosure. It also has an RS232 Opto-Isolated DB9 serial communications port that provides direct connection to a personal computer.

IMPORTANT:

OutBack only provides a 50 ft. cable with this unit. Longer cables can be used up to 1000 ft. long, but are not provided by OutBack. It is not recommended to exceed 1000 ft.

IMPORTANT:

Do not run the MATE 2 cable in conduit with the AC conductors. Signal degradation can result if cable is run in conduit with AC wiring or in other electronically “noisy” environments; these can affect the maximum length the cable can run without incurring transmission errors.

The MATE2 is designed for an indoor, recessed installation. This requires a hole to be cut in the wall to house the body that protrudes behind the faceplate.

Page 35

Installation

The MATE2 can be connected to the communications HUB at the top of the electronics enclosure or at an access port on the front of the electronics enclosure.

The HUB inside is intended for permanent installations.

The Access Port on the front of the electronics enclosure is intended for temporary installations. The MATE2 will have to be disconnected from the Access Port before the exterior Front Cover can be put back on.

To permanently install the MATE2:

1. Determine the location for the MATE2. It is recommended to place the MATE2 inside the home where it will be easy to access and visible to the user.

2. Prepare the surface for mounting (e.g., cut the hole).

a. Place the backside the MATE2 against the wall and draw around the oval backing.

b. Carefully cut the oval hole out of the wall.

3. Cut a smaller hole (§1”x1”) in the opposite side of the wall to bring in the cable to connect it to the MATE2.

4. Connect the CAT5 Cable to the electronics enclosure at the Communications Hub and route the cable out of the enclosure through one of the knockouts. Do not run the CAT5 cable through the same knockout as the AC wiring.

5. Route the Cat5 cable through the smaller hole on the opposite wall to the MATE2 and connect to the back of the body.

6. Place the body of the MATE2 into the hole cut in the wall and secure it with 4 drywall screws (not provided).

Setting System Parameters – The Advanced Menu

Battery Amp-Hours and Return Amps are the only two system parameters that may need to be changed depending on the installation. This is done in the Advanced Menu.

Battery Amp-Hours refers to the total amp-hour capacity of the battery bank (not just amp-hour rating of the individual batteries within the battery bank). The SmartRE comes configured optimized for a 100 amp-hour, 48 Vdc AGM battery bank.

Return Amps is the low limit to which an absorption current must decrease, while still maintaining the absorption voltage, before the battery is judged to be full. Use the battery manufacturer’s specifications or 2% of the battery bank capacity.

IMPORTANT:

Making changes to the Advanced Settings could adversely affect current system performance. Only make changes to the factory default settings if you are qualified to do so.

To reset the factory-default settings, see the SmartRE Operator’s Manual.

Battery Bank Sizing

In general, the size of the loads (watts) and the required backup period (hours) will determine best size (amp-hour capacity) for the battery bank.

Running Time and Size

The battery bank’s size determines the length of time the inverter can supply AC output power. The larger the bank, the longer the inverter can run and the longer the recharge time.

Depth-of-Discharge

The battery bank should be designed so the batteries do not discharge more than 50-60% of their capacity on a regular basis. Discharging up to 80% is acceptable on a limited basis, such as a prolonged utility outage. Totally discharging a battery can reduce its effective life or permanently damage it. Consult the battery manufacturer for specific depth-of-discharge recommendations.

Days of Autonomy

Days of autonomy may vary depending upon the availability of the charging source(s), the critical nature of the load and other factors. If the system is to be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, determine the appropriate number of days of autonomy by allowing for cloudy weather as well as other seasonal variations in available energy.

Back up power systems which use utility power for recharging should use the estimated number of days of maximum power outage for determining days of autonomy.

Amp-Hour Requirements

Amp-hour requirements will vary with each installation depending on the loads that are connected and the desired amount of time for those loads to be supported in the event that utility power is unavailable

Amp-hour Capacity

Deep cycle batteries have a capacity measured in amp-hours. Amp-hours are a measure of current flow over time. An amp-hour figure is derived by multiplying current (amperes) by the amount of time

900-0033-01-00 Rev A 47

Page 50

Specifications

the current flows (hours). This applies equally to the amount you take out of a battery (discharging) or the amount you put into it (charging).

Discharge Rate

Deep cycle batteries express the amp-hour rating as "at the x-hour rate". This is an average rate of current flow that would take x number of hours to discharge the batteries. Common amp-hour figures are at the 6-hour rate, the 20-hour rate, and the 100-hour rate. A battery is classified as having fewer amp hours if it is discharged at a faster rate, such as the 6-hour rate. There is an inevitable amount of heat associated with the flow of current through a battery. The higher the amount of current, the greater the amount of heat generated. The heat is energy which is no longer available to the battery to power loads. Hence, at a higher discharge rate, the batteries effectively have fewer amp-hours available. Generally, the 20-hour rate is the most common one.

Estimating Amp Hours

To estimate the battery bank requirements, first calculate the amount of power to be drawn from the batteries during the period of autonomy. This power draw is then translated into amp hours (Ah)—the unit of measure to express deep-cycle battery capacity.

Amp-hours are calculated multiplying the current drawn by the load by the length of time it will operate.

Watts to Amps

To calculate amps when the power consumption is expressed in watts, use the following equation:

A = W/V

where W = watts and V = volts DC

For example:

A 100 watt light bulb will draw approximately 8.33 amps

8.33 = 100 /12

If the light runs for three hours it will consume (8.33 x 3) or 25 Ah of power.

IMPORTANT:

For these calculations, do not use the AC amp rating of a device. AC amps are measured on a different scale and will not give correct results.

Time and Power

The length of time a load is operated will affect the power draw. In some cases, an appliance which draws a large wattage may not consume as many amp-hours as a load drawing fewer watts but running for a longer period of time.

Amps to Watts

All electrical appliances have labels which state their energy consumption. Look for an amps rating on motors and a watts rating on other appliances.

If the label plate has expressed power consumption in AC amps, multiply by volts for the watts required (watts = volts x amps).

Specifications

Things to consider:

Motors typically require 3 to 6 times their running current when starting. Check the manufacturer’s data sheets for their starting current requirements. If you will be starting large motors from the inverter, increase the battery bank size to allow for the higher start-up current.

Refrigerators and ice-makers typically run only about 1/3 of the time, therefore, the running wattage is 1/3 of the total wattage of the appliance. Divide the total wattage of the appliance by 3 when determining the battery requirements.

Calculating Amp-Hours

To determine the amp-hours that will be consumed, list the anticipated loads and the length of time they will operate. Use the specifications noted on the labels of each AC load that is to be connected to the system. Determine the number of hours per day and the number of days during the week that the load will be used.

Use the worksheet on page 50 to list the respective values and calculate the amp-hour requirement.

In summary, to calculate the amp-hour requirements:

1. Determine the loads the system will power and enter their wattage.

2. Determine the number of hours (or decimal portion of hours) the appliance is used each day.

3. Determine the number of days the appliance will be used during the week.

4. Multiply Hours x Days for each load identified to determine the watt-hours per week.

5. Add the total watt-hours per week for all loads then divide by 7 to obtain the average total watt-hours per day.

6. Divide the total average per day by the DC nominal voltage.

This figure represents the average amp-hours per day that will be used.
