Product Overview

Equipment Installation

• The meter is installed on a rail, and should not be installed outdoors.
• When operating the meter, use insulation tools and wear personal protective equipment to ensure personal safety.

Cable Connections

1. Requirements for the external CT specifications:
   • Choose nA/5A for the current transformation ratio of the external CT. (n: CT primary input current value between 200 – 5000, which is chosen by the user according to the actual conditions. 5A: CT secondary output current.)
   • Sampling error for the CT current -1%(0.5.0.5s, 0.2, 0.2s is recommended).
   • CT bore size must be greater than the outer diameter of the AC power line to make sure the AC power line can be inserted through CT.
   • It is recommended to choose the CT with 16AWG cable.
   • See the instructions provided by the respective manufacturer for specific CT wirings to ensure that the direction of the connections is correct and that they are functioning properly.

2. An incorrect inlet or direction from the external CT to the meter cable can cause damage to the device or incorrect acquisition of data.

3. Do not tamper with the cables that are pre-installed with the meter.

4. The direction of the external CT is from the P1 end to the P2 end, and the corresponding AC power line direction is from the inverter side to the grid side.

5. It is recommended to add an overcurrent protection device (rated current 0.5A) to the voltage input terminal (L1/L2/L3) of the meter.

Parameter Setup

Set the CT parameters using the SolarGo APP (system comprised of a single three-phase unit, with the Export function enabled)

When the GM3000C is used with the Inverter such as BTC series or ETC series etc., please refer to the corresponding user manual for CT-related parameter settings.

Before setting the parameters, make sure that:

1. The inverter is powered up on the DC side.
2. The solar APP has been downloaded from Google Play or App Store.
3. Communication is functioning properly between SolarGo APP and the inverter.
4. Please use the initial password when logging in for the first time, and change it as soon as possible to one that is memorable for you. To keep your account secure, it is recommended to change your password regularly.

Set the CT parameters using ProMate (system comprised of multiple inverters)

Before setting the parameters, make sure that:

1. Both EzloggerPro and GM3000C are powered up.
2. GM3000C is correctly connected to COM4 of EzloggerPro via RS485.
3. The EzLogger Pro Promate software has been downloaded from GOODWE’s s official website and installed on the computer.
4. ProMate is connected to EzLogger Pro successfully. For detailed procedures, refer to the EzLogger Pro Series User Manual.

Descriptions of the Export Function

• ****Total Capacity: Set according to the total capacity of the PV station.
• Power Limit: Set according to the target power that needs to be fed into the grid.
• The ratio of CT: Set according to the CT transformation ratio.

Descriptions of the Reactive Compensation Function

• CT: Set according to the external CT ratio.
• Power Factor: Set the target power factor as required.
• Grid Power Feedback Value: Check the maximum power factor allowed for the system.
