DC Connector Connection

nsert the positive and negative connectors into the inverter PV connectors respectively.
Note :

  1. Disconnect the AC breaker on the grid side when connecting the PV connectors.
  2. The DC switch must be switched to “OFF” position.

Ground Terminal Connection

Note: Inverter must be well-grounded for resisting surge voltage shock and improving EMI performance.

AC Connector Assembly

Strip off the AC cable sheath for 50mm, and strip off the end of L/N/PE each cable for 8mm.sunways -STS 3-6kW -Series- Grid-connected- PV- Inverter

AC Connector Connection

An AC breaker must be connected on the AC side of the inverter. The recommended AC cable and breaker for Sunways STS 3-6kW series single-phase inverters are shown in the following table: Connect the AC connector to the inverter AC terminal, and the slight “click” represents the connection is in place.

Grid Connection Steps

  1. Check whether all connectors are correctly connected.
  2. Switch the AC breaker on.
  3. Turn the DC Switch to “ON” position.
  4. The inverter starts self-checking and the screen displays “checking”.
  5. After self-checking is completed, the inverter will start to generate power. The power indicator will be light up and the real-time power will be displayed on the screen.

Monitoring Device Installation

Insert the module into the COM port at the inverter bottom and pay attention to the direction of the module when assembling (the side with indicator light is facing up). A “click” sound heard represents the assembly is in place.sunways -STS 3-6kW -Series- Grid-connected- PV- Inverter -Single
