SOLAX POWER X3 3 Phase Inverter Installation Guide

SOLAX POWER X3 3 Phase Inverter

Packing List

Note: “ ☆ ”attachments are not included in the M series inverter attachment package and will be included in the X3-Matebox. The inverter in Australia needs to be connected to DRM, which is 1 more communication line adapter than that in other countries. The number of “D” and “E” are different for different power sections. For 5-6kW inverters, the number of positive and negative PV terminals and PV pin angle is 2, 2, 2, and 2 respectively. For 8- 15kW inverters, the number of positive and negative PV terminal and PV pin angles is 3, 3, 3, and 3 respectively.

Tool Preparation

Mounting Steps

• a) Use a marker to mark the drilling holes of the bracket on the wall.
• b) Drill holes at marked spots with a depth of 65 mm.
• c) Insert the expansion bolt into the hole, use a rubber hammer to knock the expansion screw bolt into the wall.
• d) The bracket is aligned with the screw uses the inner hexagonal wrench to screw the tapping screw until the expansion bolt “bang” is heard.
• e) Hang the buckle on the inverter to the corresponding position of the backplane.
• f) Use the inner hexagonal wrench to tighten the inner hexagonal screw on the right side of the inverter.

PV Connection

The PV port wiring of the M series inverter has been completed. For specific installation details, please refer to the X3-Matebox Quick Installation Guide, the D series needs to be wired according to the following steps.

• Step 1. Turn off the DC switch, connect the PV module, prepare a 4 mm² PV cable, and find the PV (+) terminal and PV (-) terminal in the package.
• Step 2. Use a wire stripper to strip the 7mm insulation layer of the wire end.
• Step 3. The PV connector is divided into 2 parts, to the plug and the fastening head. Pass the cable through the fastening head and the alignment plug. Note that the red and black lines correspond to different pairs of plugs. Finally, force the cable into the plug and hear a “click” to indicate that the connection is complete.
• Step 4. Tighten the fastening head and into insert the corresponding positive and negative (PV-/PV+) ports of the inverter.

Note:
Before inserting the PV terminal, please turn on the switch of the PV module, and use a multimeter to measure the positive and negative poles of the PV terminal port to prevent reverse connection.
