AC current into grid.
Data storage and display
Inverter achieves the running information, fault records and etc. and displays
them on the integrated LCD display.
Parameter Configuration
Inverter provides various parameter configuration for inverter optimal operation.
Communication Interface
Standard RS485 port, can be connected to monitoring device and PV system
Protection Function
− Short-circuit protection
− Ground insulation resistance detection
− Inverter output voltage monitoring
− Inverter output frequency detection
− Residual current protection
− DC injection of AC output current surveillance

2.3.3 Derating
Output derating is a way to protect the inverter from overload or potential faults.
Situations require inverter power derating are:
Internal temperature is too high (including ambient temperature and module
temperature)
Grid voltage is too low
External power class adjustment
Grid frequency is too high
Note: [*] valid only when the country selected is DE or IT.

Power Limit Setting
Inverter output power can be adjusted via the LCD display or remote grid dispatch
from the grid company. The corresponding operating state will display on the LCD
screen.
Over-temperature Derating
High ambient temperature, fan broken or poor ventilation will lead to inverter
power derating.
When the module temperature exceeds the upper limit, inverter will derate
power output until the temperature drops within the permissible range.
When the internal temperature exceeds the upper limit, inverter will derate
power output until the temperature drops within the permissible range.
Lower limit of the over-temperature derating: 33% of the nominal
powe r.
If the module temperature and internal temperature reach to power
derating conditions, inverter will derate the power output according to
the lower temperature between the two.
Grid Under-voltage Derating
When grid voltage is low, inverter will derate the output power to make sure the
output current is within the permissible range. Once the grid voltage is within
Vmin…215V, inverter will derate the output power.
The voltage displayed in the follow figure is the phase voltage.

Medium-voltage Transformers
The following requirements must be observed when installing medium-voltage
transformers:
The transformer for the inverter can be a distribution transformer, however it
must be designed for the typical cyclical loads of a PV system(load in the day and
possibly no load at night).
The transformer can be of the liquid-immersed type or dry type. Shield winding is
not necessary.
The line-to-line voltage on the low-voltage side of the transformer must endure
the output voltage of inverter. When connecting to the IT grid, the withstanding
voltage of the low-voltage winding side of the transformer, the AC cables and the
secondary devices (including the relay protection, detection & measuring, and
other related auxiliary devices) to the ground should not be lower than 1100V.
The line-to-line voltage on the high-voltage side of medium-voltage transformer
should comply with the power grid voltage of installation site.
A transformer with a tap changer on the high-voltage side is recommended in
order to remain consistent with the grid voltage.
At an ambient temperature of 25℃, transformers should withstand 110% of total
load rating.
Transformer with a short-circuit impedance less than 6% is recommended.
For thermal rating, the load curve of the transformer and the ambient conditions
at the respective installation site must be taken into account.
The inverter apparent power is not permitted to exceed the transformer power.
The maximum nominal AC current of all connected inverters must be taken into
account. If the number of the grid-connected inverters exceed 40, please contact
Sungrow.

The transformer must be protected from overloading and short circuiting.
The transformer is an important part of grid-connected PV generation system.
The fault carrying capacity of the transformer should be taken into account at all
time s. The fault types include: system short-circuit, grounding fault, voltage drop,
and etc...
Ambient temperature, relative humidity, altitude, air quality, and the relevant
indexes should be taken into account at all times.
The country-specific power grid frequency should be taken into account at all
times.
The country-specific standards and directives should be taken into account at all
times.
6.2.2 Grid Connection
AC terminal block is on the bottom of the inverter. AC connection is the
3-phase-4-wire grid connection (L1, L2, L3 and PE).
AC Cable Requirements
Select AC cables according to the following factors:
Grid impedance corresponds to the specifications below to avoid accidental
short-circuit or output power derating.
Considering the voltage drop and other conditions, please enlarge the cable

The following requirements must be respected. Ignorance of them may void

The inverter internal cable connection cabinet is equipped with positive

Before connecting PV array to inverter, the following electrical parameters must be

Short-circuit current limit
Considering the negative voltage temperature coefficient of PV cells, more attention
should be paid to the open-circuit voltage of PV strings when the ambient
temperature is the lowest. Meanwhile please notice that the max. open-circuit
voltage of each PV string decreases with the increase of the altitude.
Tak eYL250P-29bPV cells for example.
Open-circuit voltage temperature coefficient (β)
-0.32%/°C
Under the STC condition, where ambient temperature is 25°C, the open-circuit
voltage of PV cells is 37.6V×23=864.8V<1100V.
Supposed that the lowest temperature is -25°C, the open-circuit voltage of PV cells is
23×37.6V×[1+β×(min. ambient temperature- STC temperature)] =
23×37.6V×[1+(-0.32%/°C) ×(-25°C-25°C)]=990V<1100V (meet the operation
requirement).
Therefore, PV string should be designed to meet the open-circuit voltage
requirement even under the lowest ambient temperature condition.

6.4 Grounding the Inverter
Due to the transformer-less design of the inverter, neither the DC positive
pole nor the DC negative pole of the PV string can be grounded.
6.4.1 Grounding System Overview
In this PV system, all non-current carrying metal parts and device enclosure should
be grounded (such as the PV array frame and inverter enclosure).
When there is only one inverter in the PV system, ground the PE cable.
When there are multiple inverters in the PV system, they can be multi-point
grounded. Connect PE cables of all inverters and the mounting metal frames of PV
array to the equipotential cable (according to the on-site situation) to realize
equipotential connection.

8.1 Disconnecting the Inverter
For maintenance work or any service work, inverter must be switched off. During
normal operation, switching off is not necessary.
Proceed as follows to disconnect the inverter from DC and AC power sources
Step 1 Disconnect the external AC circuit breaker and prevent it from accidental
reconnecting.
Step 2 Rotate the DC switch to the “OFF” position and then pull off all the PV string
inputs
Please strictly follow the above sequence. Inverter will not work damage if
otherwise.

8.2 Dismantling the Inverter
Refer to Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 to dismantle the inverter in reserve steps.
If the inverter will be reinstalled in the future, please refer to “4.4 Inverter
Storage” for a proper conservation.
8.3 Disposal of the Inverter
Users should take the responsibility for the disposal of the inverter.
Some parts and devices in the inverter, such as the LCD display, batteries,
modules and other components, may cause environment pollution. Users

Regulation
Mode
The reactive power can be regulated by the parameter PF (Power
Factor).
The reactive power can be regulated by the parameter Q-Var
limits (in %).
The PF is limited to +1.000, and the “Q-Var limits” is limited to
0.0%.
Q(P)
The PF changes with the output power of the inverter.
Q(U)
The reactive power changes with the grid voltage.
