Ground Neutral Bond
Make a bond connection between the Neutral and Ground at the Main Breaker Panel or you may also only make the bond once at the Utility Meters with breaker attached if applicable.
CT connection
To measure the power imported from and exported to the grid, a pair of CTs or one three phase meter must be installed at the service entry point in or near the main service panel. We standardly supply 2 CT for one inverter. 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. Never put the CTs on the Load side, nor the generator side or inverter will not function properly. For Off Grid application, disregard the CTs.
CT Clamp Ratio
The inverter supports 3 ratios of CT clamp- 1000:1, 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).
FORTRESS POWER FP ENVY 8K Envy Inverter 10 kW - CT Clamp
Ratio

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. (* Incorrect install of the CT will cause The Display to show incorrect information’s 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 of the LCD. You would not need to go change it physically.

Optional 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.
Generator Connection
When Using the Generator Connection, do not connect an AC Coupled system. Inverter and Generator Damage will occur.
This hybrid inverter can work with a generator. There are Gen ports on the inverter for generator connection. Generator requirements: the generator should be neutral bonded type, with 240V/120V output. Fault or Damage may occur if connecting a 208V Generator.
When the generator is started, all the loads connected to EPS Load will be supplied by the generator. Meanwhile the battery will be charged.
The pass-through relay on the generator port is 50A. When the generator is on, please ensure the total load and charge current will not exceed 50A.
The generator start signal shall be connected to the COM board GEN Nominal Open (NO1 and CO1), or Nominal Close (NC1 and NO1) port, if users want to start generator remotely.

FORTRESS POWER FP ENVY 8K Envy Inverter 10 kW - Generator
Connection

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. Make sure to add a fused disconnect switch between the Envy Gen Port and the Ac Coupled system. It is forbidden to connect the Generator in Gen Port when AC Coupled. Damage to the Generator or Inverter will occur.
What is frequency shifting power reduction?
All UL1741SA compliant grid-interactive inverter has the Frequency-Watt feature, which requires the grid-interactive inverter to reduce power with the increasing of grid frequency. The power will drop to zero before the over frequency trip threshold is reached. When the Fortress Power hybrid inverter requires the grid interactive inverter to reduce power, it simply shifts the output frequency up a bit, the grid-interactive inverter will limit its output power accordingly after sensing this frequency shift.
Paralleling Multiple Inverters

FORTRESS POWER FP ENVY 8K Envy Inverter 10 kW - Primary
Inverter Use the Communication Cables included in the in the Envy Inverter along with those of the eFlex5.4kWh and eVault Max 18.5kWh.
The Envy paralleling communication cables measures 6.5ft. Therefore, installers might need to provide an extra longer communication cable to be able to make parallel connections if installed further apart. The battery communicates only with the Master Inverter through Modbus RS485.
Connect the communication cable to the BAT COM port. Proceed to the Advanced Section under the LCD programming segment to finish paralleling process.
Third party RS485 communication
Meter 485B&485A:
are used when the Meter is not connected. These two pins can be used to communicate with the inverter using our Rs485 Modbus protocol.

When On-Grid and Export to Grid are 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. 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 in 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.
End SOC (%): The SOC at which the AC coupled inverters are shut down when in off-grid mode. 90% recommended.
Start SOC (% ): The SOC at which the AC coupled inverters are turned on when in off-grid mode. 50%~70% recommended

2| Smart Load| This function is to make the Gen input connection point as a 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.
