Meter/CT Connection (Optional)

The inverter has integrated export limitation functionality. To use this function, a power meter or a CT must be installed.
For installation and operation methods, see ANNEX part of meter and CT installation guides.

Wiring PE Cable

To achieve ground protection purpose, the inverter must be connected to the AC grounding conductor of the utility grid via PE cable.

Warning: Because of the transformerless design, the DC positive pole and DC negative pole of PV arrays cannot do grounding.

Note: The PE point at the AC output point is used only as a PE equipotential point, and cannot substitute for the PE point on the enclosure.
Procedure steps:

  1. Insert the grounding conductor into the suitable terminal lug and crimp the contact.
  2. Fix terminal lug on external ground point by screw M4x10. Torque: 1.4 N.m. featureCanadianSolar CSI-3K-S22002-E Single Phase String Inverter fig 13

Wiring AC Output

Warning

To ensure the inverter can be safely disconnected with load must install a separate single-phase circuit-breaker or other load disconnection unit for each inverter.
Note: The inverter is equipped with integrated RCM (Residual current operated monitor) and RCD (Residual current protective device). The rated residual current of the circuit breaker must be over 300mA when the AC circuit breaker with RCM function is selected.

Notice

The total capacity of the PV-inverter is more than 3KW and less than or equal 6KW, the inverter’s displacement power factor is adjustable between 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging, and do not need external SPI. The total capacity of the PV-inverter is more than 6KW, the inverter’s displacement power factor is adjustable between 0.9 leading to 0.9 lagging, meanwhile, needs external SPI.

Commissioning Inverter

Electrical Inspection

  1. Check PE connections with multi-meter:
    To make sure all the bare metal surfaces of the inverter are grounded.

  2. Check DC voltage value:
    Check if the DC voltage of the PV string exceeds the allowable range.

  3. Check the polarities of the DC voltage:
    To make sure the DC polarities are correct.

  4. Check the ground insulation of PV array with multi-meter:
    Ensure the impedance value of ground insulation is more than 1MOhm.

  5. Check all the inverter terminals:
    Ensure all unused terminals of the inverter are properly sealed with protection covers.

  6. Do not remove protective covers of all the terminals before wires are connected, such as DC, AC, CT/Meter and WiFi terminals. Otherwise, the IP rating will be affected.

Mechanical Inspection

  1. Ensure the inverter is installed properly, fixed with a Wall-mounting bracket firmly, and the upper cover is installed correctly.
  2. Ensure the AC connectors are installed properly and fixed firmly.
  3. Ensure the dust covers are sealed reliably which are used for the empty DC connectors.
  4. Ensure all the cables are connected effectively, fixed firmly, and no visible damages to the insulation layers.

Start-UP Inverter

After electrical and mechanical inspections, first turn on the AC main switch/breaker, then turn on the DC switch. The inverter will start automatically when the DC input voltage meets the performance requirement of the utility grid. Normally there will be three statuses during the operation (refer to the LED indications):

  1. Waiting:
    Conditions: The initial DC voltage of the PV strings is greater than the Min. DC input voltage, but is lower than the DC start-up input voltage.
    Inverter cannot start-up normally and cannot feed power into utility grid either.

  2. Checking:
    Conditions: The initial voltage of the PV strings exceeds the start-up DC input voltage of the inverter. Meanwhile both the voltage and frequency of the utility grid are normal.
    Inverter will check the feeding conditions immediately. If anything wrong during checking, inverter will switch to the “Fault” mode.

  3. Normal:
    Conditions: All the checking results are normal.
    Inverter will switch to “Normal” mode and feed power into utility grid.
    The inverter may turn on and off continuously during the period of low or absent sunlight due to the shortage of power generated by the PV modules. If such fault occurs frequently, please contact the maintenance personnel.

LED Indicators

No. Operate states LED Indicators Flicker frequency
1 Wait Green LED flicker 1s On,1s Off
2 Normal Green LED always on /
3 Error Red LED always on /
4 No DC input Off /

Switch off

DANGER Never connect or disconnect the DC connectors under load.

Inverter Turn-off steps:

  1. Turn off the AC main switch to prevent it from being reactivated.
  2. Turn off the DC switch.
  3. Check the inverter operating status.
  4. Wait until LED indicator has gone out, which indicates the inverter has been shut down.

Daily Maintenance

DANGER

Risk of inverter damage or personal injury due to incorrect service!
Always keep in mind that the inverter is powered by dual sources: PV array and utility grid. Before any service work, observe the following procedure.

  1. Disconnect the inverter from the utility grid side first and then PV array;
  2. Wait at least 5 minutes after shut down the inverter, for inner capacitors to discharge completely;
  3. Verify that no voltage and current existing with appropriate testing devices.

NOTICE

  • Risk of inverter damage if it is improperly serviced.
  • Use accessories and spare parts approved by the inverter manufacturer only. Never modify the inverter or other components of the inverter. The loss of any or all warranty rights may follow if otherwise.
  • Any malfunction that may impair the inverter safety operation must be repaired immediately before the inverter is restarted.
  • Inverter contains no customer serviceable parts inside. Please contact local authorized personnel if any service work is required.

Information

Servicing of the device in accordance with the manual should never be undertaken in the absence of proper tools, test equipment or the more recent revision of the manual with has been clearly and thoroughly understood.

Items Methods Period

System clean

| Check the temperature and dust of the inverter. Clean the inverter enclosure. Check the humidity and dust of the environment.

Troubleshooting

When the inverter does not operate normally, we recommend the following actions for quick troubleshooting. Please review the error list table carefully.

Warning

The different LED colors and flashing status identify the current operation statuses of the inverter. If the red color is always on, it indicates the inverter fault. Usually the warnings can be cleared through an orderly shutdown / reset or a self-corrective action performed by the inverter.

Errors
Error codes identify a possible equipment fault, or incorrect setting/ configuration. Any and all attempts to correct or clear a fault must be performed by qualified personnel. Typically, the Errors code can be cleared once the cause or fault is removed.
However, some of the (E) codes may cannot be cleared, in this case please contact the dealer or CSI Solar Co., Ltd. to replace a new one.
