  • If the inverter has been electrified and tested before connection, wiring can not be performed unless the AC and DC power supplies are cut off for 10min and a multimeter shows that the DC side is tatally discharged.

Caution
When designing the PV array, make sure the maximum open circuit voltage is not higher than 550V at each series of PV group. Otherwise the inverter will be damaged irreversibly

Tip assembling. For example: the positive pole is connected by a red cable and the negative by a blue cable.

  • In order to balance each PV series, Cable shall be with the same sectional area.
  • DC cable between the inverter and the assembly shall be the special PV cable. The voltage drop from the terminal box to the inverter is about 1-2%. It is recommended the inverter is installed on the assembly support for generation to reduce the cable cost and the DC loss.
  • High performance and high quality PV array shall be used. The open circuit voltage in the serial array must be lower than the maximum DC input voltage in the PV grid-tied inverter, and the working voltage of the serial array must comply with the MPPT voltage of the inverter.

Earthing requirement

Caution
The inverter is a device with no transformer, neither the positive nor the negative pole of the PV assembly can be earthed, or the inverter will not work normally, or even be damaged irreversibly.
In TP10KTL series PV power generating system, all device shells, assembly supports and the GND terminal of the inverter must be safely and reliably earthed.

Trial operation

Check before operation

Warning
Necessary safety check must be performed before the inverter is electrified for trial operation!

  1. Check for reliability of mechanical installation
    Check if the inverter is firmly installed and if all bolts are reliably tightened. For an inverter installed on a metal supporter, make sure each bolt is tightened and support has enough load bearing capacity.

  2. Check for connecting cables
    Check if all cables in the system are firmly connected without any missed or wrong connection, and especially check if all positive and negative poles are correct. If a DC switch is equipped on the inverter, the DC switch shall be turn to the “OFF” state.

  3. Electrical check
    Make sure the DC input voltage of the inverter is lower than 1000V (with the temperature decrease of the PV array, the open circuit voltage will be increased, so a residual voltage at the low temperature must be put into consideration).
    Make sure the grid parameters are complying with the inverters parameters.

Electrify the inverter
The inverter can be started up as per the following steps after all testing and checking steps are performed Switch on the AC breaker.
Switch on the DC breaker, and turn the DC switch to the “ON” state.

See Part 5 of this manual for “Human-machine interaction” after the inverter is started up. If enough power energy can be generated in the solar array, the inverter will be started up automatically, and LCD will display the normal status which means the inverter is successfully started up. If the inverter is not normally started up, please refer to Part 6 “Troubleshooting and maintenance”

Inverter working mode
After the inverter is started up, the normal working state will be switched as per the chart below:

CrownMicro-CM-Series-AV-Grid-Connected-Inverter-FIG-
\(38\)

Standing-by mode
When the DC voltage is higher than 250V but lower than 320V, the inverter will enter the sleep mode. In this case, the inverter will keep monitoring the DC voltage, and will enter the ready mode once it reaches the working voltage 320V.

Ready mode
When the DC voltage is over 320V, the inverter will enter into the ready mode.
In this case, inverter start hardware self-checking.and after the self- checking is over, the inverter will enter power-generating mode.

Power generating mode
When the external condition satisfies the power generating condition, and the after the self-checking gets through, the inverter will enter into the power generating mode.

Protection mode
If any external fault such as AC side grid fault is detected by the inverter, the inverter will stop power generating and enter the protection mode, in this case the protection indicator on LCD panel will show and display the corresponding protection code. Troubleshooting can be performed by the user according to this code.The inverter will keep monitoring the external fault, and will stay in the protection mode unless the fault is removed. It will reenter the grid-connect power generating mode one minute later after the fault is removed.

Fault mode
If any internal fault is detected by the inverter, the inverter will stop power generating and enter the fault mode, in this case fault indicator on the LCD panel will show and display the corresponding fault code.
Troubleshooting can be performed by the user according to this code. The inverter will keep monitoring till the internal fault is removed. It will reenter the grid-connect power generating mode if the fault is removed.

Notice
In the morning and evening, the light intensity is weak and changeful, thus the LCD keep flashing.In order to avoid the user’s trouble, and the LCD will light up when it enter into the power generating mode. In other mode, if the user wants to check the relevant data of the inverter, he can tap the inverter body and wake up the LCD.
When the inverter enter into the protection and fault mode, its corresponding protection and fault code may also appear twice or more. At this time, the protection or fault code display space below the LCD display screen will alternately display a variety of protection or fault code every 2 seconds.

LCD panel power saving mode
The LCD will enter sleep mode if no operation last for 2 minutes, to wake it up please tap on the shell slightly.

Troubleshooting and maintenance

Troubleshooting
This part introduces the common fault and solving steps, provides troubleshooting method and skills to the user, and helps the user identify and solve some common fault of the inverter.
Faults mentioned in this part means the inverter enters the Tip protection state or fault state.
The protection state is mostly caused by some external reasons, the inverter output is not matched with the grid, the grid is power off or the system is not correctly earthed, and thus the inverter acts to ensure the own safety. The inverter itself has no defect and can recover from the protection state if the system is correctly designed and installed.
Sometimes the inverter enters the protection state by the own defect and can be recovered by resetting or repairing.
The fault state is caused by incorrect design of system, e.g: the DC voltage is too high, and thus the inverter acts to protect the system safety. The inverter can be recovered from some faults automatically or by resetting, and some faults are caused by the own defect of the inverter, and in this case the inverter cannot be recovered and shall be repaired.

Correctly identifying the fault state of the inverter is helpful for solving the fault,so please threat as per the following steps:

  1. Check if the status displayed on the panel is a protection state or fault state, and record all error codes.
  2. Try the solution listed in Tab.6-1 and 6-2 and meanwhile check as per the following steps.
    • If the voltage at the AC/DC side is normal and if the breaker is switched on?
    • If the inverter is installed in a clean, dry and well-ventilated place?
    • If the cable sectional area satisfies the requirement?
    • If the connecting cables is too long?
    • If all cables are firmly connected?
    • If wiring is reasonable?
    • If the safety standard setting is correct?
  3. If you meet any problem that you cannot solve by yourself, please contact the client service man for the optimal solution, please provide the detailed system installation information, inverter model, serial number and fault information.
