Installing the PE Cable

NOTE:

• It is recommended that the PE cable be connected to a nearby PE point. Connect the PE points of all SUN2000s in the same PV array to ensure equipotential connections to PE cables.
• To enhance the corrosion resistance of a ground terminal, you are advised to apply silica gel or paint on it after connecting the PE cable.

Opening the Maintenance Compartment Door

WARNING:

• Do not open the host panel of the SUN2000.
• Before opening the SUN2000 maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC output switch and three DC switches at the bottom.
• Do not open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days. If you must, take protective measures to prevent rain or snow from entering the maintenance compartment.
• Do not leave unused screws in the maintenance compartment.

1. Loosen the screws on the maintenance compartment door.
2. Open the maintenance compartment door and adjust the support bar.
3. Remove the crimping modules that are bound in the maintenance compartment and save them properly for future use.

NOTE:” For some models, a three-hole rubber plug is bound in the maintenance compartment. After removing the rubber plug, save it properly for future use.

(Optional) Replacing the Crimping Module
NOTE: I f the AC output power cable has a single core, replace the crimping module.

Removing the Rubber Rings from the Crimping Module
NOTE: Use scissors to cut off the joints of the rubber rings to remove them. All rubber rings are removed in the same way.

(Optional) Installing the Solar Tracker Power Cable
NOTE:

1. A switch-disconnector-fuse or fuse-switch-disconnector with a voltage of no less than 800 V, current of 16 A, and protection type of gM needs to be installed between the SUN2000 and the tracker controller for protection.
2. The cable between the wiring terminal on the power cable and the switch-disconnector-fuse or fuse-switch-disconnector should be less than or equal to 2.5 meters.

Installing AC Output Power Cables
NOTE:

• Remove the corresponding rubber rings in strict accordance with the cable diameter, and ensure that the crimping module is not damaged. Otherwise the protection level of the solar inverter will be affected.
• Ensure that AC terminations provide firm and solid electrical connections. Failing to do so may cause SUN2000 malfunction and damage to its terminal block, even starting thermal events.
• If the AC output power cables are subject to a pulling force because the inverter is not installed stably, ensure that the last cable that bears the stress is the PE cable.

Multi-core Cable (Four-Core Cable Is Used as an Example)

Single-core Cable

NOTE: The 32–36 mm cable is supported only by some models. Refer to the corresponding label to get the supported size.

Wiring Description of Y-branch Connectors

NOTE:

• Y-branch connectors can be purchased from Huawei or the manufacturers based on the following recommended models: If the rated current of the fuse of the Y-branch connector is 15 A, the recommended model is 904095944 (Luxshare) or A040959443039 (Comlink); if the rated current of the fuse of the Y-branch connector is 20 A, the recommended model is 904095945 (Luxshare) or A040959453039 (Comlink).
• When connecting cables to recommended Y-branch connectors, ensure that the connectors to be paired match each other and are from the same manufacturer. Otherwise, the contact resistance of the connectors may exceed the allowed value. In this case, the connectors may be heated and oxidized, which may cause faults.
• Ensure that the locking nuts of all connectors are tightened.
• Do not bind more than three fuse enclosures together. Otherwise, the fuses and their enclosures may be damaged due to overheating. It is recommended that a clearance of 10 mm or more be reserved between fuse enclosures. You are advised not to bind the fuse enclosures with other heat emitting conductors.

Wiring rules:

1. The PV+ on the string side must be connected to the PV+ on the SUN2000 side, and the PV–on the string side must be connected to the PV– on the SUN2000 side.
2. Preferentially and evenly connect the Y-branch connectors to the MPPTs controlled by DC SWITCH 1 or DC SWITCH 2.

Use the DC terminals delivered with the SUN2000s to connect part B to the SUN2000s.

Connecting Y- branch connectors to the SUN2000

| Models recommended by Huawei| Part A can be directly connected to the SUN2000, and part B is not needed.

Other models

| To ensure that the terminals of part A match the DC terminals of the SUN2000, part B is needed to connect part A to the SUN2000. Use the DC terminals delivered with the SUN2000 to connect part B to the SUN2000.

NOTE :

• It is recommended that the Y-branch connectors be connected from the PV string side and tied to the PV trackers.
• The DC input terminals of the solar inverter are prone to damage under stress. When Y-branch connectors are connected to the solar inverter, bind and secure the connectors to minimize stress on the DC input terminals.
• Do not place the Y-branch connector harness on the ground. A safe distance must be reserved between the Y-branch connector harness and the ground to avoid impact caused by water on the ground to the harness.

Recommended tying solution

Selecting DC Input Terminals

NOTE: The SUN2000 has three DC switches (DC SWITCH 1, DC SWITCH 2, and DC SWITCH 3). DC SWITCH 1 controls routes 1–6 of DC input terminals, DC SWITCH 2 routes 7–12, and DC SWITCH 3 routes 13–18.

Select DC input terminals according to the following rules:

1. Evenly distribute the DC input power cables to the DC input terminals controlled by the three DC switches. DC SWITCH 1 is preferred.
2. Maximize the number of connected MPPT circuits.

WARNING: Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

NOTICE:

1. Use the MC4 EVO2 PV connectors delivered with the SUN2000. If the PV connectors are lost or damaged, purchase the connectors of the same model. The device damage caused by incompatible PV connectors is beyond the warranty scope.
2. Before connecting DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable connections. If the cables are connected incorrectly, the SUN2000 may be damaged.
3. Measure the voltage at the DC input end using a multimeter. If the voltage is a negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity. If the voltage is greater than 1500 V, too many PV modules are configured to the same string. Remove some PV modules.
4. If polarity of the DC input power cable is reversed and the DC switch is ON, do not turn off the DC switch immediately or unplug positive and negative connectors. The device may be damaged if you do not follow the instruction. The caused equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope. Wait until the solar irradiance declines and the PV string current reduces to below 0.5 A, and then turn off the three DC switches and remove the positive and negative connectors. Correct the string polarity before reconnecting the string to the SUN2000.
5. For models of the crimping tool and removal wrench, use the recommended model or contact your Staubli dealer.
6. Connect the PV string connector to the inverter connector, and then pull back the PV string connector along the axial direction to check whether the connectors are securely connected.
7. The connector must be securely connected. Damages caused by improper connection are not covered under the warranty.
