1.5 Glossary

AC
Abbreviation for “Alternating Current”

DC
Abbreviation for “Direct Current”

Energy
Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours). The energy is the power calculated over time. For example, your inverter operates at a constant power of 4600 W for half an hour and then at a constant power of 2300 W for another half an hour, it has fed 3450Wh of energy into the power distribution grid within that hour.

Power
Power is measured in W (watts), kW (kilowatts) or MW (megawatts). Power is an instantaneous value. It displays the power your inverter is currently feeding into the power distribution grid.

Power rate
Power rate is the radio of current power feeding into the power distribution grid and the maximum power of the inverter that can feed into the power distribution grid.

Power factor
Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to apparent power or volt amps. They are identical only when current and voltage are in phase than the power factor is 1.0. The power in an ac circuit is very seldom equal to the direct product of the volts and amperes. In order to find the power of a single phase ac circuit the product of volts and amperes must be multiplied by the power factor.

PV
Abbreviation for photovoltaic.

Wireless communication
The external wireless communication technology is a radio technology that allows the inverter and other communication products to communicate with each other. The external wireless communication does not require line of sight between the devices and it is selective purchasing.

2. Safety

2.1 Intended Use
The unit converts the DC current generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules to gridcompliant alternating current and performs single-phase feed-in into the electricity grid. MIC 750TL-X,MIC 1000TL-X,MIC 1500TL-X,MIC 2000TL-X,MIC 2500TL-X,MIC 3000TL-X, MIC 3300TL-X inverters are built according to all required safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use may cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result indamage to the units and other property.

Principle of a PV plant with this MIC TL-X single-phase inverter

The inverter may only be operated with a permanent connection to the public power grid. The inverter is not intended for mobile use. Any other or additional use is not considered the intended use. The manufacturer/supplier is not liable for damage caused by such unintended use. Damage caused by such unintended use is at the sole risk of the operator.

PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not exceed 1uF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells to earth, the size of which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed (e.g. foil on metal roof) and on the weather (rain, snow). This “normal” leakage current may not exceed50mA due to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically disconnect from the electricity grid as a protective measure.

2.2 Qualification of skilled person
This grid-tied inverter system operates only when properly connected to the AC distribution network. Before connecting the MIC TL-X to the power distribution grid, contact the local power distribution grid company. This connection must be made only by qualified technical personnel to connect, and only after receiving appropriate approvals, as required by the local authority having jurisdiction.

2.3 Safety instruction
The MIC TL-X Inverters is designed and tested according to international safety requirements (IEC62109-1,CE,VDE0126-1-1, AS4777,etc); however, certain safety precautions must be observed when installing and operating this inverter.

If the inverter is dirty, turn-off the AC breaker and DC switch ,waiting the inverter shut down ,then clean the enclosure lid, the display, and the LEDs using only a wet cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents (e.g. solvents or abrasives).
9.3 Checking the DC Disconnect
Check for externally visible damage and discoloration of the DC Disconnect and the cables at regular intervals.If there is any visible damage to the DC Disconnect, or visible discoloration or damage to the cables, contact the installer.

Once a year, turn the rotary switch of the DC Disconnect from the On position to the Off position 5 times in succession. This cleans the contacts of the rotary switch and prolongs the electrical endurance of the DC Disconnect.
