5.3 THE CONNECTION OF THE GROUND LINE

Good grounding is good for resisting surge voltage shock and improving EMI performance. Therefore, before connecting AC, DC and communication cables, you need to ground the cable firstly. For a single system, just ground the PE cable. For multiple machine systems, all PE cables of the inverter need to be connected to the same grounding copper platoon to ensure the equipotential connection. The installation of the shell ground wire is shown as picture 5.11.

Pic 5.11 The installation of the shell ground wire

Warning:

Inverter has built-in leakage current detection circuit, If an external leakage current protection device is connected, its operating current must be greater than 300 mA or higher, otherwise inverter may not work properly.

5.4 MAX. OVER CURRENT PROTECTION DEVICE

To protect the inverter AC connection, it is recommended to install a circuit breaker to prevent overcurrent. See Table 5.3 below.

Inverter	Rated output voltage(V)	Rated output current(A)	Current for protection device(A)
BPT-V03-12 23	0 30	17.4
BPT-V03-15 23	0 30	21.8

Table 5.3 Recommended current protector specifications

5.5 INVERTER MONITORING CONNECTION

The inverter has wireless remote monitoring capability. The inverter with Wi-Fi function is equipped with a Wi-Fi Plug to connect the inverter to the network. The operation, installation, internet access, APP downloading, and other processes for the Wi-Fi Plug are detailed in the instructions.

5.6 INSTALLATION OF DATALOGGER

When the inverter leaves the factory, the installation location of the datalogger is sealed by a sealing plate as shown in Picture 5.13. When installing the datalogger, remove the sealing plate, replace it with the sealing plate with a square hole from the accessories, and tighten the screws. Insert the datalogger into the interface and fix it with a screw. The configuration of the datalogger needs to be performed after all electrical connections have been completed and the inverter is powered on via DC. When the inverter is on DC power, it is determined whether the datalogger is normally powered (the LED light shines through the shell).

5.7 CONFIGURATION OF DATALOGGER

For the configuration of the datalogger, please refer to the illustrations of the datalogger.

6. STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN

Before starting the inverter, make sure that the inverter meets the following conditions; otherwise, it may result in fire or damage to the inverter. In this case, we do not undertake any responsibility. At the same time, to optimize the system configuration, it is recommended that the two inputs be connected to the same number of photovoltaic modules.

a) The maximum open-circuit voltage of each set of photovoltaic modules shall not exceed 1000 Vdc under any conditions. b) Each input of the inverter should use the same type of photovoltaic module in series. c) The total output power of the PV shall not exceed the maximum input power of the inverter, and each photovoltaic module shall not exceed the rated power of each channel.

6.1 START UP THE INVERTER

When starting up the three-phase string inverter, follow the steps below:

1. First, switch on the AC breaker.
2. Turn on the DC switch of the photovoltaic module, and if the panel provides sufficient starting voltage and power, the inverter will start.
3. When the AC voltage and DC voltage are normal, the inverter start-up is ready to begin. The inverter will first check the internal parameters and the grid parameters, while the liquid crystal will show that the inverter is self-checking.
4. If the parameter is within acceptable range, the inverter will generate energy. The NORMAL indicator light is on.

6.2 INVERTER SHUTDOWN

Must follow the below steps while shutting down the inverter:

1. Switch off the AC breaker.
2. Wait for 30 seconds, turn off the DC switch (if any), or simply disconnect the DC input connector. The inverter will close the LCD and all LEDs within two minutes.

7. ZERO EXPORT FUNCTION VIA SUN LIMITER

The inverter has an external zero export function. This function is optional. It can collect counter-current power to control the output power of the inverter, so that the power of the inverter and load can be offset, and the excess power will not be fed back to the grid. If you purchase the inverter with zero export function, an external zero export device (SUN limiter or energy meter) will be included in the package which is necessary for the function. The SUN limiter is shown in Pic 7.1. You can see the corresponding line mark next to the green interface. The green terminals on the left are the interface of three-phase AC line (L1, L2, L3) and N Line (N), and the right are the interface between three sets of current sensors and one set of control terminals. The SUN limiter will collect voltage and current from these interfaces and send control signals to the inverter.

Pic 7.1 SUN Limiter view

7.1 SUN LIMITER FUNCTION WIRING DIAGRAM

When you are reading this, we believe that you have completed the connection according to the requirements of chapter 5. If you have been running your inverter, and you want to use the limiter function, please turn off the AC and DC switches of the inverter, and wait for 5 minutes until the inverter is completely discharged. In order to make it easier for you to use the limiter function, we have specifically given the wiring diagram, as shown in Picture 7.2. The yellow/green/red live lines (L1, L2, L3) are connected to the utility grid live lines (U/V/W), and the blue line means the neutral line.

We recommend installing an AC switch between the inverter outlet and the utility grid. The specs of the AC switch are determined by the load capacity. The AC switch we recommend to connect to the inverter output refers to Table 5.2.

7.2 CONNECT THE SUN LIMITER TO INVERTER

The SUN limiter will measure the voltage and current of three phases separately, and this manual only introduces the installation steps of one phase; the other two phases are the same. The specific installation steps are as follows:

1) Connect the SUN limiter to the grid. Connecting to the grid is to measure the grid voltage. Before connecting to the grid, please turn off the switch to avoid the risk of electric shock. Choose one wire from the bottom of the three-phase DC switch (any phase of U, V, W) to connect with the L1 terminal, then tighten the wire with a screwdriver. 2) Connect the SUN limiter to the clamp sensor. The clamp sensor can measure the current on the AC side; it should be connected to the front side of the load (domestic appliances, etc.) to achieve this function. Only when the SUN limiter collects the voltage and current of the same phase can it judge the power of that phase. So the clamp sensor should be connected to the same phase as before. Open the side buckle of the clamp sensor, then clamp the sensor to the AC line on the DC switch. The arrow direction on the sensor should point towards the load. The clamp sensor has two lines (shown below): the white line corresponds to the K terminal, and the black line corresponds to the L terminal. Connect the white line to the L1(L) and L1(K) terminals according to the line markings on the SUN limiter, and tighten the wires with a screwdriver. This completes the installation process for one phase.

Pic 7.3 Clamp Sensor

Pic 7.4 Clamp Sensor internal arrow

3) After you finish the installation in steps 1 and 2, connect the N line (N) to the N terminal of the limiter and tighten the wire. 4) Connect the control line. There are two numbers, 1 and 2, on the interface of the SUN limiter, and the same on the waterproof terminal of the inverter. Twist the waterproof terminal and connect the red line to number 1 and the black line to number 2, as shown in the picture. After that, connect the terminal to the interface of the SUN limiter. The other side of the line should be connected to the control terminal.

* This item is not available for some FW versions.

Pic 7.10 Limiter function turn on

1. [utility power] showing positive means grid power is consuming energy, and there is no backflow. If [utility power] shows negative, it means there's excess PV energy flowing to the grid or the current transformer arrow direction is in the wrong direction. Please read more in chapter 7.9.
2. After proper connection is done, wait for the inverter to start. If the power of the PV array meets the current power consumption, the inverter will maintain a certain output to counteract the power of the grid without backflow.

7.4 ZERO-EXPORT FUNCTION (OPTION)

The string inverter supports the zero-export function via Energy meter / SUN-Limiter. Based on continuous data communication, once the Limiter or energy meter detects power export to the grid, it will send the information to the inverter, and then the inverter will ramp down its active power to match the load demand and achieve zero export. The zero-export function is optional. If you buy the inverter with the zero-export function via energy meter, the energy meter will be included in the package, which is necessary for the zero-export function.

7.4.1 ZERO-EXPORT FUNCTION VIA ENERGY METER

When you are reading this, we believe that you have completed the connection according to the requirements of chapter 5. If you have been running your inverter at this time and you want to use the zero-export function, please turn off the AC and DC switches of the inverter and wait for 5 minutes until the inverter is completely discharged. Please follow picture 7.11 below to connect the energy meter.

For system wiring diagram, the red line refers to L line (L1, L2, L3), the black line refers to the neutral line (N). Connect the energy meter RS485 cable to the inverter's RS485 port. It is recommended to install an AC switch between the inverter and the utility grid; the specs of the AC switch are determined by the power of the load. If there is no integrated DC switch inside the inverter you purchased, we recommend you to connect a DC switch. The voltage and current of the switch depend on the PV array you access.

2. Move the cursor to [OK], press [Enter] to save the settings and exit the Running Parameters page; otherwise, the settings are invalid.
3. If set up successfully, you can return to the menu interface and display the LCD to [Home Page] by pressing the [Up] and [Down] buttons. If it displays [Meter Power XXW], the zero-export function setting is completed, as shown in Picture 7.15.

Pic 7.15 Zero-export function via energy meter turn on

1. Meter Power XXW showing a positive value means the grid is supplying the load, and no power is fed into the grid. If Meter Power shows a negative value, it means PV energy is being sold to the grid or the energy meter wiring connection has a problem.
2. After proper connection is done, wait for the inverter to start. If the power of the PV array meets the current power consumption, the inverter will keep a certain output to counteract the power of the grid without backflow.

7.5 NOTES WHILE USING ZERO EXPORT FUNCTION

For your safety and the operation of the limiter function of the inverter, we put forward the following suggestions and precautions:

Warning:

Under zero export mode, we strongly recommend that the two PV arrays be formed by the same number of PV panels of the same size, which will make the inverter more responsive to limit the power.

Safety Hint:

While the utility power is negative and the inverter has no output power, this means the orientation of the current sensor is wrong. Please turn off the inverter and change the orientation of the current sensor.

(When using the SUN limiter, the arrow of the current sensor points to the load.)

High Temperature Hazard:

When using the SUN limiter, the current sensor of the limiter function needs to be clamped on the live wire of the grid connected to the inverter; otherwise, the inverter cannot operate normally.

7.6 HOW TO BROWSE THE LOAD POWER OF YOUR PV GRID-TIE PLANT ON THE MONITORING PLATFORM?

If you want to browse the load power of the system and how much energy (kWh) it exports to the grid (inverter output power is used to power the load first, and then the surplus energy feeds into the grid), you also need to connect the meter according to the above diagram. After the connection is completed successfully, the inverter will show the load power on the LCD. But please do not set "Meter ON". Also, you will be able to browse the load power on the monitoring platform. The plant setting method is described below.

First, go to the Solarman platform (https://pro.solarmanpv.com, this link is for Solarman distributor accounts; or https://home.solarmanpv.com, this link is for Solarman end-user accounts) plant home page and click "Edit".

Then choose your system type as "Self-consumption".
