1 Safety
The inverter has been designed and tested strictly according to international
safety regulations. Read all safety instructions carefully prior to any work and
observe them at all times when working on or with the inverter.
Incorrect operation or work may cause:
injury or death to the operator or a third party; or
damage to the inverter and property safety of the operator or a third party.
All detailed work-related safety warnings and notes will be specified at critical
points in this manual.
The safety instructions in this manual cannot cover all the precautions
that should be followed. Perform operations considering actual onsite
conditions.
SUNGROW shall not be held liable for any damage caused by
violation of the safety instructions in this manual.
1.1 PV Panels
PV strings will produce electrical power when exposed to sunlight and can
cause a lethal voltage and an electric shock.
Always keep in mind that the inverter is dual power supplied. Electrical
operators must wear proper personal protective equipment: helmet,
insulated footwear, glove, etc.
Before touching the DC cables, operator must use a measuring device to
ensure that the cable is voltage-free.
Must follow all warnings on the PV strings and in its manual.

Over-voltage Response
When the grid voltage is higher than (110 % Vmax - 5) V, the inverter will reduce
the active power export to grid according to the following equation:
△P = Pnom x R
Where:
− △P is the variation of active power export to grid (in %) related to the
nominal power.
− Pnom is the nominal grid power.
− R is the desired reduction in active export power (expressed in % of Volt),

User Manual 2 Product Description
Over-Frequency Response
When there is an increase in grid frequency which exceeds the Start value, the
inverter will reduce the power output linearly with an increase of frequency until
the End value is reached.

The following figure shows the over-frequency response.
Between the Start value and the End value, all adjustable power generation
systems shall reduce (for frequency increase) or increase (for frequency
decrease) the active power Pm generated instantaneously, as shown on the
curve a.
For countries except Italy, if the grid frequency drops again to a value below the
value of OverFrq Start and if the possible generation power at that instant is
greater than the active power Pm, the increase of the active power supplied to
the grid will not exceed a gradient of 10 % of the maximum active power per
minute, as shown on the curve b.

Connect the inverter to the grid only after getting an approval from
the local electric power company.
Before connecting the inverter to the grid, ensure the grid voltage and
frequency comply with requirements, for which, refer to "10.1 Technical Data".
Otherwise, contact the electric power company for help.
AC Circuit Breaker
An independent two-pole circuit breaker is installed on the output side of the
inverter to ensure safe disconnection from the grid. The recommended
specifications are as follows:

8.1 Disconnecting the Inverter
For maintenance or other service work, the inverter must be switched off.
Proceed as follows to disconnect the inverter from the AC and DC power
sources. Lethal voltages or damage to the inverter will follow if otherwise.
1. Stop the inverter via the LCD menu. For details, see “7.6
Starting/Stopping the Inverter”.
2. Disconnect the AC circuit breaker and secure it against reconnection.
3. Rotate the DC switch to the “OFF” position and then disconnect all of the
PV string inputs.
4. Wait at least 10 minutes until the capacitors inside the inverter
completely discharge.
5. Ensure that the DC cable is current-free via a current clamp.
6. Insert a MC4 wrench into the notch and press the wrench with an
appropriate force to remove the DC connector.
7. Lay the tool in the location of snap and press the tool down. Remove the
AC connector, ensure that the AC wiring terminals are voltage-free via a
multimeter, and remove the AC wires.
8. Install the MC4 waterproof plugs and AC waterproof cover.
