4.2 Interfaces and Functions

The inverter is equipped with the following interfaces and functions:

Web server with user interface for configuration

The inverter is equipped as standard with an integrated web server that enables configuration of the inverter via an individual user interface. The inverter user interface can be called up directly via the web browser in a computer, tablet PC or smartphone so long as there is a WLAN or Ethernet connection (see Section8 "Using the Inverter User Interface", page34).

SMA Speedwire

The inverter is equipped with SMA Speedwire as standard. SMA Speedwire is a type of communication based on the Ethernet standard. This enables inverter-optimized 10/100Mbit data transmission between Speedwire devices in PV systems and the inverter user interface.

Webconnect

The inverter is equipped with a Webconnect function as standard. The Webconnect function enables direct data transmission between the inverters of a small-scale system and the Internet portal SunnyPortal without any additional communication device and for a maximum of four inverters per SunnyPortal system. In large-scale PV power plants, data transmission between inverters and the Internet portal SunnyPortal is carried out via the SunnyHomeManager. You can access your SunnyPortal system from any computer with an Internet connection.

Webconnect enables - for PV systems operated in Italy - the connection or disconnection of the inverter to or from the utility grid and the specifying of the frequency limits to be used via IEC61850-GOOSE messages.

WLAN

The inverter is equipped with a WLAN interface as standard. The inverter is delivered with the WLAN interface activated as standard. If you do not want to use WLAN, you can deactivate the WLAN interface (see Section9.17 "Switching WLAN Off", page48). In addition, the inverter has a WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) function. The WPS function connects the inverter automatically with an end device (e.g. smartphone, tablet PC or computer). You can activate the WPS function by tapping on the enclosure lid twice in quick succession. The open interface will then be signalized via the rapid flashing of the blue LED on the inverter.

SMA Solar Technology AG

Grid Management Services

The inverter is equipped with service functions for grid management. Depending on the requirements of the grid operator, you can activate and configure the functions

(e.g. active power limitation) via operating parameters.

SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak

SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak is an advancement of SMAOptiTrac and allows the operating point of the inverter to follow the optimal operating point of the PV array (MPP) precisely at all times. In addition, with the aid of SMAOptiTracGlobalPeak, the inverter detects several maximum power points in the available operating range, such as may occur particularly with partially shaded strings. SMA OptiTrac Global Peak is enabled by default.

All-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit

The all-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit detects alternating and direct differential currents. In single-phase and three-phase inverters, the integrated differential current sensor detects the current difference between the neutral conductor and the line conductor(s). If the current difference increases suddenly, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid.

Connection of the SMAEnergyMeter

If an SMAEnergyMeter is installed in the PV system, the inverter can receive data on the household energy consumption directly from this.

5 Mounting

5.1 Requirements for Mounting

Requirements for the mounting location:

Danger to life due to fire or explosion

Despite careful construction, electrical devices can cause fires.

• Do not mount the inverter in areas containing highly flammable materials or gases.

• Do not mount the inverter in a potentially explosive atmosphere.

☐ Do not mount the inverter on a pillar. ☐ A solid support surface must be available for mounting, e.g. concrete or masonry. ☐ The support surface must be even. The difference between the outer anchoring points must not

exceed 5mm.

☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the inverter (see

Section11 "Technical Data", page52).

☐ The mounting location should not be exposed to direct solar irradiation. Direct solar irradiation

can cause the inverter to overheat. As a result, the inverter reduces its power output.

☐ The mounting location should be freely and safely accessible at all times without the need for

any auxiliary equipment (such as scaffolding or lifting platforms). Non-fulfillment of these

criteria may restrict servicing. ☐ To ensure optimum operation, the ambient temperature should be between -25°C and 40°C. ☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section11 "Technical Data", page52).

6.3.1 Requirements for the AC Connection

Cable requirements:

☐ External diameter: 5 mm to 13 mm ☐ Conductor cross-section: 1.5mm² to 4mm² ☐ Insulation stripping length: 15 mm

Operating Manual 21SB15-25-BE-en-10

Page 22

6 Electrical Connection

SMA Solar Technology AG

☐ Sheath stripping length: 70mm ☐ The cable must be dimensioned in accordance with the local and national directives for the

dimensioning of cables. The requirements for the minimum wire size derive from these directives. Examples of factors influencing cable dimensioning are: nominal AC current, type of cable, routing method, cable bundling, ambient temperature and maximum desired line losses (for calculation of line losses, see the design software "SunnyDesign" from software version2.0 at www.SMA-Solar.com).

Load-break switch and cable protection:

Damage to the inverter due to the use of screw-type fuses as load-break switches

Screw-type fuses (e.g. DIAZED fuse or NEOZED fuse) are not load-break switches.

• Do not use screw-type fuses as load-break switches.

• Use a load-break switch or circuit breaker as a load disconnection unit (for information and design examples, see the Technical Information "Circuit Breaker" at www.SMA-Solar.com).

☐ In PV systems with multiple inverters, protect each inverter with a separate circuit breaker.

Make sure to observe the maximum permissible fuse protection (see Section11 "Technical Data", page52). This will prevent residual voltage being present at the corresponding cable after disconnection.

☐ Loads installed between the inverter and the circuit breaker must be fused separately.

Residual-current monitoring unit:

☐ If an external residual-current device is required, install a residual-current device which trips at

a residual current of 100mA or higher (for details on selecting a residual-current device, see the Technical Information "Criteria for Selecting a Residual-Current Device" at www.SMASolar.com).

Overvoltage category:

The inverter can be used in grids of overvoltage categoryIII or lower in accordance with IEC60664-1. That means that the inverter can be permanently connected to the grid-connection point of a building. In case of installations with long outdoor cabling routes, additional measures to reduce overvoltage categoryIV to overvoltage categoryIII are required (see the Technical Information "Overvoltage Protection" at www.SMA-Solar.com).

Grounding conductor monitoring:

The inverter is equipped with a grounding conductor monitoring device. This grounding conductor monitoring device detects when there is no grounding conductor connected and disconnects the inverter from the utility grid if this is the case. Depending on the installation site and grid configuration, it may be advisable to deactivate the grounding conductor monitoring. This is necessary, for example, in an IT system if there is no neutral conductor present and you intend to install the inverter between two line conductors. If you are uncertain about this, contact your grid operator or SMA Solar Technology AG.

☐ Grounding conductor monitoring must be deactivated after initial start-up depending on the

grid configuration (see Section9.5, page43).

Operating ManualSB15-25-BE-en-1022

Page 23

SMA Solar Technology AG

6 Electrical Connection

Safety in accordance with IEC62109 when the grounding conductor monitoring is deactivated

In order to guarantee safety in accordance with IEC62109 when the grounding conductor monitoring is deactivated, carry out one of the following measures:

• Connect an additional grounding that has at least the same cross-section as the connected grounding conductor to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable (see Section6.3.3, page25). This prevents touch current if the grounding conductor at the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable fails.

Connection of additional grounding

In some countries, additional grounding is generally required. In each case, observe the locally applicable regulations.

• If additional grounding is required, connect an additional grounding that has at least the same cross-section as the connected grounding conductor to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable (see Section6.3.3, page25). This prevents touch current if the grounding conductor at the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable fails.

6.3.2 Connecting the Inverter to the Utility Grid

Requirements:

☐ Only the AC connector supplied may be used. ☐ The connection requirements of the grid operator must be met. ☐ The grid voltage must be in the permissible range. The exact operating range of the inverter is

specified in the operating parameters.

Procedure:

1. Disconnect the circuit breaker and secure it against reconnection.

2. Unscrew the swivel nut from the cable gland for the AC connection.

3. Thread the swivel nut over the AC cable.

4. Thread the AC cable through the cable gland.

• If the external diameter of the cable is between 5mm and 7mm, thread the cable through the cable gland directly.

• If the external diameter of the cable is between 8mm and 13mm, first remove the inner sealing ring from the cable gland and then thread the cable through the cable gland. When doing so, ensure that the outer sealing ring is positioned correctly in the cable gland.

5. Dismantle 70mm of the AC cable.

6. Shorten both L and N by 5mm respectively, in order that the grounding conductor is the last to become detached in the event of tension.

7. Strip 15 mm of the insulation of L, N and the grounding conductor.

8. Connect L, N and the grounding conductor to the connecting terminal plate of the supplied AC plug in accordance with the labeling. When doing so, ensure that the conductors are plugged completely into the terminal up to the insulation. Tip: To detach the conductors, plug a flat-blade screwdriver (blade width: 3mm) into the rectangular openings positioned behind them.

9. Make sure that all conductors are securely in place.

6 Electrical Connection

15. Tighten the swivel nut hand-tight.

6.3.3 Connecting Additional Grounding

If additional grounding or equipotential bonding is required locally, you can connect additional grounding to the inverter. This prevents touch current if the grounding conductor at the terminal for the AC cable fails.

The required clamping bracket, the cylindrical screw M5x16, the washer and the spring lock washer are part of the scope of delivery of the inverter.

Cable requirements:

Use of fine-stranded conductors

You can use an inflexible or a flexible, fine-stranded conductor.

• When using a fine-stranded conductor, it has to be double crimped by a ring terminal lug. Make sure that no insulated conductor is visible when pulling or bending. This will ensure sufficient strain relief by means of the ring terminal lug.

☐ Grounding cable cross-section: max. 10mm²

Operating Manual 25SB15-25-BE-en-10

☑ The installation assistant dialog opens.

SMA Solar Technology AG

9.3 Starting the Self-Test (For Italy Only)

The self-test is only required for inverters to be commissioned in Italy. The Italian standard requires that all inverters feeding into the utility grid are equipped with a self-test function in accordance with CEI0-21. During the self-test, the inverter will consecutively check the reaction times for overvoltage, undervoltage, maximum frequency and minimum frequency.

The self-test changes the upper and lower disconnection values for each protective function on a linear basis for frequency monitoring and voltage monitoring. As soon as the measured value exceeds the permitted disconnection threshold, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid. In this way, the inverter determines the reaction time and checks itself.

After the self-test has been completed, the inverter automatically switches back to feed-in operation, resets the original disconnection conditions and connects to the utility grid. The test takes approximately threeminutes.

Requirements:

☐ The country data set of the inverter must be set to CEI 0-21 internal.

Procedure:

1. Call up the inverter user interface (see Section8.1, page34).

2. Log in as Installer.

3. Select the menu System Configuration.

4. Select [Settings].

☑ A context menu opens.
