MUST-EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-PRODUCT

Product Information

This inverter is designed for parallel operation with two different operation modes:

  1. Parallel operation in single phase with up to 3 units. The supported maximum output power is 15KVA (for 5KVA inverter) / 12KVA (for 4KVA inverter).
  2. Maximum three units work together to support three-phase equipment. The supported maximum output power is 15KVA (for 5KVA inverter) / 12KVA (for 4KVA inverter).

Product Usage Instructions

Mounting the unit

Follow the instructions provided in the user manual to mount the unit properly.

Wiring Connection
Parallel Operation in Single Phase

  1. Ensure correct wire connection.
  2. Make sure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.

Support Three-Phase Equipment

Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:

  • Correct wire connection.
  • Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.

Step 2: DIP Switch Settings

On the bottom panel of the inverter, there are 5 pins DIP switches. Set them as shown in Figure 2.

NOTE: It’s necessary to turn off the machines when setting the DIP switches. Otherwise, the setting cannot be programmed.

Step 3: Turn on all units sequentially
Turn on each unit in sequence: L1-phase unit, L2-phase unit, L3-phase unit.

Step 4: Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in Grid

If Grid is detected and three phases are matched with unit setting, they will work normally. Otherwise, the AC icon will flash and they will not work in line mode.

Mounting the unit

When installing multiple units, please follow below chart.MUST-EP18-5048
-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(2\)

NOTE : For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 30 cm to the side and approx. 50 cm above and below the unit. Be sure to install each unit in the same level.

Wiring Connection

The cable size of each inverter is shown as below:
Recommended battery breaker, cable and terminal size for each inverter:MUST-
EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(3\)

WARNING : Be sure the length of all battery cables is the same. Otherwise, there will be voltage difference between inverter and battery to cause parallel inverters not working:

Recommended Grid and Load cable size for each inverter:MUST-EP18-5048
-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(4\)

You need to connect the cables of each inverter together. Take the battery cables for example: You need to use a connector or bus-bar as a joint to connect the battery cables together, and then connect to the battery terminal. The cable size used from joint to battery should be X times cable size in the tables above. “X” indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel. Regarding Grid and Load, please also follow the same principle.
CAUTION!! Please install the breaker at the battery and Grid side. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of battery or Grid. The recommended mounted location of the breakers is shown in the figures in 4-1 and 4-2.
*If you want to use only one breaker at the battery side for the whole system, the rating of the breaker should be X times current of 1 unit. “X” indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel.

Recommended breaker specification of Grid side with single phase:

Model 2 units 3 units
4KVA 80A/230VAC 120A/230VAC
5KVA 100A/230VAC 150A/230VAC
  • Note 1 : Also, you can use 40A breaker (50A for 5KVA), for only 1 unit,and each inverter has a breaker at its AC input.
  • Note 2: Regarding three phase system, you can use 4 poles breaker, the rating is up to the current of the phase which has the maximum units. Or you can follow the suggestion of note 1

WARNING! Be sure that all inverters will share the same battery bank. Otherwise, the inverters will transfer to fault mode.

    Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.

  • Step 2: On the bottomt panel of inverter ,there are 5 pins DIP switches, you can set it as follow Figure 1.MUST-EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(15\)

    • NOTE 1 : If there are two inverter in parallel, you Only need to set inverter and inverter .
    • NOTE 2: It’s necessary to turn off the machines when setting the DIP switches. Otherwise, the setting can not be programmed.
  • Step 3: Turn on each unit.MUST-EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(16\)

    • NOTE : Master and slave units are randomly defined.
  • Step 4: Switch on all AC breakers of Line wires in Grid. It’s better to have all inverters connect to Grid at the same time. If not, it will display fault 82 in following-order inverters. However, these inverters will automatically restart. If detecting AC connection, they will work normally.MUST-EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(17\)

  • Step 5: If there is no more fault alarm, the parallel system is completely installed.

  • Step 6: Please switch on all breakers of Line wires in load side. This system will start to provide power to the load.

Support three-phase equipment

  • Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:
    Correct wire connection
    Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.

  • Step 2: On the bottom panel of inverter ,there are 5 pins DIP switches, you can set it as follow Figure 2MUST-EP18-5048-Autonomus-Inverter-FIG- \(18\)
