Operation
Sub Panel supports manual bypass conversion function for maintenance, When you
want to remove the EP500/Pro, AC300 Power Station from the Sub Panel, please
tweak the rotary switch on Sub Panel to “2” (Figure 4.3) to maintenance then
disconnect the connecting cable on Power Station, the household load will be
powered directly by the utility
power.
4.1 Pass-through Function
Rotary Switch Status:
“0”: Disconnect. Loads on Sub Panel are disconnected from both the utility
power and Power Station. (Figure 4.1)
“1”: Connected. Sub Panel functions are all enabled. (Figure 4.2)
“2”: Grid power supply. The grid power supply status bit is directly supplied
by the grid household load, which can complete the charging function for
matching products.(Figure 4.3)
4.2 Grounding Method
FLOATING NEUTRAL: When Sub Panel is connecting with BLUETTI Power Station
only(Disconnected with Main Panel): AC300, EP500, and EP500Pro, the N and PE
Wire of the Input Port and Output Port of Power Station are not connected in
Sub Panel directly, the distribution system`s neutral conductor will “float”,
which means they are zoating neutral. BONDED NEUTRAL: Connecting the Sub Panel
to BLUETTI Power Station will not switch the floating neutral to bonded
neutral. If you want to convert the Sub Panel to bonded neutral, please
connect the Sub Panel with Main Panel, or follow the instruction to connect
the Neutral bus bar to PE.
