with the markings. e. Secure conduit to the conduit fitting. f. Check that the
cables are connected correctly and securely, then take appropriate measures to
ensure that the conduit and conduit fitting are secured reliably, and seal the
cable entry holes.

3.6.4 CT/Meter Connection
To measure the power imported from and exported to the grid, a pair of CTs or
one triphase meter must be installed at the service entry point in or near the
main service panel. We standardly supply 2 CT for one inverter.
CT Port Pin definition The CT interface for 2 CTs connection is an RJ45 port ,We have made an RJ45 plug on those 2 CTs in advance, so you can connect it to the port directly.

Please refer to the connection diagram for the correct positions of CTs and clamp
the 2 CTs on the L1 and L2 wires at the service entry point in the main service panel.
CT1(label L1) should go to L1 and CT2(label L2) should go to L2. The arrow on the CT
is pointing to the inverter.(*** Incorrectly install CT will cause The Display to show
incorrect informations and features of the inverter will not function correctly) If the
CT are in a wrong direction, there is an option you can change the direction of the
CT on your inverter call: CT Direction Reversed (Only for Direction not CT1 or CT2
Placement) in Advanced Tab. You would not need to go change it physically.

CT Clamp Ratio
The inverter support 3 ratios of CT clamp1000:1 , 2000:1 and 3000:1 . The CT
ratio of the CTs in the accessory bag is 3000:1. If you are using a 3rd party
CT, please ensure the CT ratio is one of them, and select the correct CT ratio
setting in the inverter monitor page or on the inverter LCD.

Extend CT clamp cable The CT wires can be extended with a common ethernet
cable if the length is not enough. An RJ45 adapter is needed for the
extension. The CT wires can be extended up to 300ft(around 100m).

Meter Connection
If you need to use a meter for import/export detection instead of CTs, you
need to connect it to the Meter 485A and 485B terminals on the inverter.

3.7 Working with Generator
3.7.1 Generator system connection
This hybrid inverter can work with generator. There are Gen ports on the
inverter for generator connection. Generator requirements: the generator
should be neutral bonded type, with 240V/120V output at same time, generator
capacity should be larger than 6kW.

When the generator is started, all the loads connected to EPS will be supplied
by the generator. Meanwhile the battery will be charged.
The pass-through relay on the generator port is 90A. When the generator is on,
please ensure the total load and charge current will not exceed 90A.
The generator start signal shall be connected to the COM board GEN Nominal

3.8 AC Coupling Installation Connection
The inverter supports AC coupling connection with the existing grid- interactive solar system. The existing solar system is connected to the inverter’s GEN port.

After AC couple function enabled: When the Grid is on, the GEN terminal is connected to the grid terminal inside the inverter. In this case the hybrid inverter will bypass the interactive inverter AC to the grid and EPS.
When grid is off, The GEN terminal is connected to the EPS terminal inside the inverter. In this case, the loads will be first supplied by solar power. If solar panels are generating more power than load consumption, the excess solar power will be stored to the battery. When solar power exceeds the sum of load power and max battery charging power, e.g. when battery is nearly full. The inverter will signal the grid interactive inverter to reduce power via the frequency shifting power reduction mechanism, thus to maintain the balance of generation and consumption of the micro grid system.

Users need to enable AC coupling function when they connect existing on grid

Start SOC(%): The SOC at which the AC coupled inverters are turned on when in
off-grid mode. 50%~70% recommended
End SOC(%): The SOC at which the AC coupled inverters are shut down when in
off-grid mode. 90% recommended
When On-Grid and Export to Grid enabled, the AC-coupled inverter will always
be on, and it will sell any extra power back to the grid. Ensure you are
allowed to sell power to your utility provider. When export to Grid is
disabled, the AC-coupled inverter will stay at off mode and could not work at
on-grid mode to sell power.

3.9 Parallel System Connection
3.9.1 Connection for paralleling system
The hybrid inverter supports parallel connection to expand power and energy capacity to suit different using
scenarios. Up to 10 units can be paralleled to reach a capacity of 120kW. Wiring diagram is as below, The manual
bypass switch connect loads to EPS panel for default. When inverters fail, users can switch the loads to utility.

4.1 Operation Mode and Function
The inverter has different working modes and functions to meet customers’
various demands. The working modes and functions are as below.
4.1.1 Self-usage Mode (Default)
In this mode, the priority order of load supply sources is Solar>Battery>Grid.
The priority order of solar power usage is Load>Battery>Grid. Application
Scenarios Self consumption mode will increase the self consumption rate of
solar power and reduce the energy bill significantly Related Settings

the Charge Priority time period, load is first supplied with grid power. If
there is excess solar power after battery charging, the excess solar power
will take load together with grid power.

Smart Load: This function is to make the Gen input connection point as an load
connection point, if you enable it, inverter will supply power to this load
when the battery SOC and PV power is above a user setup value. e.g. Smart load
start SOC=90%, Smart load end SOC=85%, Start PV power=300W, it means: When the
PV power exceeds 300W, and the battery system SOC gets to 90%, the Smart Load
Port will switch on automatically to supply the load which is connected on
this side. When the battery reaches SOC<85% or PV power<300w, the Smart Load
Port switch off automatically.
Note: If you enable the Smart load function, it’s forbidden to connect the
generator at the same time, otherwise the device will be damaged!

Standby: Is for users to set the inverter to normal status or to standby status. In standby status, the inverter will stop any charging or discharging operations, as well as solar-feed-in.
Restart inverter: Restart the system, please note the power maybe interrupted
when restarted.
Export to Grid: Is for users to set a zero export function. If exporting solar
power is not allowed, users need to disable the “Export to Grid” option. If
users’ utility meter is tripped with even a little solar export, “Zero export”
can be enabled Thus the export detection and adjustment will take place every
20mS, which will effectively avoid any solar power being exported. If export
is allowed, users can enable “Export to Grid” and set a maximum allowable
export limit in “Max Export to Grid(kw)”.

Charge last: When users want to us solar power in the order of loads — grid
export — battery charging.
Offgrid output: It is for users to set if the inverter provides backup power
or not when the grid is lost. If users want the load to be seamlessly
transferred to the inverter backup power, “Seamless switch” must be enabled.
If customers don’t have a battery installed yet, but still wish to have
inverter backup power with only solar panels connected, “PV Grid Off” can be
enabled to use solar power to supply load when the grid fails or load-shedding
happens. Micro-grid: only needs to be set when the generator is connected to
the inverter’s grid port. With this option enabled, the inverter will use AC
power to charge the battery and won’t export any power through the grid port
if AC power is present at the inverter’s grid port.
CT direction reversed: If the CTs are in a wrong direction which will cause
the display to show incorrect information and features of the inverter will
not function correctly, the installer can modify it by selecting it(only for
direction not CT 1 or CT 2 placement), there is no need to reconnect the CTs
and no need to go change it physically, in the order of loads–grid
export–battery charging.
