6. Make sure the wires are properly connected and the terminal blocks are torqued to spec.

CAUTION: Important
Connect AC wires to the correct terminals. If L and N wires are reversed, it will cause a
short-circuit and damage the equipment and loads connected to the system.

CAUTION: Appliances with heavy start and run demands, such as air conditioners, require
special consideration. For many air conditioners for example, at least 2~3 minutes to restart
can be required to allow enough time to balance refrigerant gases. If a power outage occurs and
recovers in a short time, it may cause damage to connected appliances. To prevent damage,
please check with the manufacturer of the appliance to see if it is equipped with a time-delay function
or soft-start feature before installation. Overload of the inverter/charger may trigger a fault leading
to sudden loss of AC output power, which may cause damage to appliances with motors/compressors.

EG4 Electronics www.eg4electronics.com

PV Connections
CAUTION: Before connecting PV modules/strings, install separate DC circuit breakers or a means of
disconnect paired with properly sized fuses between inverter and PV array/s. DO NOT work with or
connect live PV conductors to the unit. Ensure all exposed conductors are safely disconnected from
the power source.

NOTE: Use a 600VDC/30A rate circuit breaker. DC rated breakers must be used. The over voltage
category of the PV input is II. Please follow the steps below to implement PV module connection.
WARNING: Because the inverter/charger is non-isolated, only three types of PV modules are
acceptable: monocrystalline and polycrystalline with class A-rated and CIGS modules.
To avoid malfunction, do not connect PV modules with possible current leakage. For example, grounded
PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using CIGS modules, please be sure NOT to
ground.
CAUTION: It is required to use a PV surge protection device. Damage to the inverter can occur from
surges such as lightning or short circuiting.

Step 1: Check the voltage of the PV modules/strings; ensure open circuit voltage (Voc) is designed to
never exceed the units rating (500V DC). This unit is equipped with two PV MPPT string inputs. Ensure
the maximum operating amperage (Imp) of each PV input is 18A or less. When using Rapid Shut Down
equipment refer to the RSS manufacturer's specifications for per-device and per-string ratings.

CAUTION: Exceeding the maximum input voltage can destroy the unit! Check the system before wire connections.

Step 2: Disconnect the circuit breaker and switch off the DC disconnect. Follow wiring process below.

i. Remove 10 mm (3/8in) of insulation for positive


and negative conductors.
ii. Check correct polarity of connection cable from
PV modules and PV input connectors at the
disconnect. Connect positive pole (+) of
connection cable to positive pole (+) of PV input
connector. Connect negative pole (-) of connection
cable to negative pole (-) of PV input connector.

Step 3: Step 3: Make sure the wires are fully


inserted and the terminals are torqued to spec.

CAUTION! Ensure no wire strands are exposed


outside of the terminals blocks. No copper of the
conductions should be visible.

It is highly recommended to use red PV wire for


positive and black PV wire for negative to
reduce risk of reversing polarity in the system.

WARNING!
Open circuit Voltage (Voc of PV strings must not exceed the maximum PV array open circuit voltage of the
inverter. Check for environmental impacts on Voc, such as temperature in accordance to the module
manufacturers data sheet and reliable weather data for the installation location.
Voltage at Maximum Power (Vmp) of PV strings must be higher than the start-up voltage.

Parallel Inverter Connections


1. Introduction
This model of inverter is a 120V Single-phase unit able to operate in parallel with multiple other units. The
parallel function can be used to support multiple electrical system types, including multi-inverter Single-phase,
240 Split-phase, or 3-phase.

ATTENTION: Carefully review the paralleling requirements, specifically the current sharing cable connection
tables and parallel settings.

Battery Bank Considerations:


When designing the system, ensure the battery bank of the system is able to support both the potential max
load/s and constant load. Multiple inverters meeting a high load requirement with an undersized battery bank
will result in a system shutdown and potentially damage equipment.

Recommended Battery Sizing:

Inverters per System 2 3 4 5 6


Battery Capacity (48V) 200AH 300AH 400AH 600AH 600AH

WARNING! All inverters of a system must share the same battery bank. Ensure all batteries are connected to
common bus bars, with equal cable lengths between both the batteries/bus and inverter/bus connections.

LEAD BATTERY CHEMISTRY EQUALIZATION
The equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects
like stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the
top. Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left
unchecked, this condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery. Therefore, it is
recommended to equalize battery periodically.

⚫ Starting Equalization
To start the battery equalization function in monitoring LCD setting, start by setting program to 33. Then, you
may apply this function in device by either one of following methods:
1. Setting equalization interval in program 37.
2. Active equalization on demand using program 39.

⚫ When to Equalize
In float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) has arrived, the
equalization process is activated immediately, and the controller will enter Equalization stage.

⚫ Equalize charging time and timeout


In Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge the battery as much as possible until
battery voltage raises to the battery equalization voltage. Then, a constant-voltage regulation is applied to
maintain battery voltage at the required equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage
until the battery equalize time setting has arrived.

If the battery equalization time has expired while in the equalize stage, and battery voltage does not rise
to the required equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalization
time until battery voltage achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery
equalization voltage when battery equalization timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop
equalization and return to float stage.
