natural_image Diagram showing an eye projecting through a window with a checkmark indicating alignment (no text or symbols present)

4.2.1 Installation Environment Requirements

Sungrow SG200HX-US - Installation Environment Requirements - 1

  • The inverter produces noise during operation, thus it is not recommended to install it in places for residential purpose. If this cannot be avoided, it is recommended to install the inverter in a place over 25 meters away from the residential area, or take noise mitigation measures.
  • If the inverter is installed in a place with lush vegetation, weed on a regular basis. In addition, the ground beneath the inverter needs to undergo certain treatment, such as laying cement or gravel, etc. (an area of 3m×2.5m is recommended).
  • Do not install the inverter in an environment with flammables, explosives, or smoke.
  • Do not install the inverter in places prone to water leak, e.g., under the air-conditioner vent, the air vent, or the cable outlet window of the machine room, so as to prevent device damage or short circuit caused by intrusion of water.

  • Do no install the inverter in a place with corrosives such as corrosive gas and organic solvent, etc.

  • When the inverter is running, its surface may carry high voltages or get very hot. Do not touch it; otherwise, it may lead to burns or electric shocks.
  • Do not install the inverter in a place that is easy to reach for people.

- If the inverter needs to be installed in a closed or semi-closed environment, please install additional heat dissipation or ventilation devices. Furthermore, while the inverter is operating, ensure the indoor ambient temperature does not exceed the outdoor ambient temperature. A semi-closed environment refers to a special space where natural ventilation is limited and gas or heat may easily accumulate, although it is not fully enclosed on all six sides.

- The installation site must have solid ground, free of rubber-like soils (which cannot be effectively compacted) or weak soils, and should not be prone to subsidence. Also, avoid low-lying areas where water or snow may easily accumulate. Ensure the site is located above the highest recorded water level in the area.

- Do not install the inverter in a position that could be flooded.

- To prevent vegetation or water on the ground from impacting inverter operation, if the space above meets the designated requirements, elevate the inverter to an appropriate height.

- It is suggested to install the inverter in a place with shelter, or build a sunshade for it. However, if the ambient temperature around the inverter is >45^ and the irradiance is greater than 1000W/m^2 , install it in a place with shelter only, to avoid derating caused by direct sunlight.

(The ambient temperature here refers to the ambient temperature approximately 1m around the inverter.)

- Good heat dissipation is very important to the inverter. Please install the inverter in a ventilated environment.

- If the inverter needs to be installed in a closed or semi-closed environment, please install additional heat dissipation or ventilation devices. Furthermore, while the inverter is operating, ensure the indoor ambient temperature does not exceed the outdoor ambient temperature. A semi-closed environment refers to a special space where natural ventilation is limited and gas or heat may easily accumulate, although it is not fully enclosed on all six sides.

- Please consult SUNGROW before installing inverters outdoors in areas prone to salt damage, which mainly are coastal areas within 500 meters of the coast. The sedimentation amount of salt spray is correlated to the characteristics of the seawater, sea winds, precipitation, air humidity, topography, and forest coverage in the adjacent sea areas, and there are substantial differences between different coastal areas.

- Do not install the inverter in an environment contaminated with chemicals such as halogen and sulfide.

  • Do not install the inverter in an environment with vibration and strong electromagnetic field. Strong-magnetic-field environments refer to places where magnetic field strength measures over 30 A/m.
  • In dusty environments such as places full of dust, smoke, or floc, particles may cling to the device's air outlet or heat sink, thus impacting its heat dissipation performance or even getting it damaged. Therefore, do not install the inverter in dusty environments. If the inverter has to be installed in such environments, please clean its fans and heat sink on a regular basis to ensure a good heat dissipation performance.
  • The average temperature approximately 1 m around the inverter should be taken as its operating temperature. The temperature and humidity should meet the requirements below:

-30°C ~ 60°C

0% ~ 100%

4.2.2 Carrier Requirements

The mounting structure where the inverter is installed must comply with local/national standards and guidelines. Ensure that the installation surface is solid enough to bear four times the weight of the inverter and is suitable for the dimensions of the inverter (e.g. cement walls, plasterboard walls, etc.).

WARNING

The external protective grounding terminal must meet at least one of the following requirements.

  • The cross-sectional area of the grounding cable is not less than 10 mm for copper wire or 16 mm ^2 for aluminum wire. It is recommended that both the external protective grounding terminal and the AC side grounding terminal be reliably grounded.
  • If the cross-sectional area of the grounding cable is less than 10 mm ^2 for copper wire or 16 mm ^2 for aluminum wire, ensure that both the external protective grounding terminal and the AC side grounding terminal are reliably grounded.

The grounding connection can be made by other means if they are in accordance with the local standards and regulations, and SUNGROW shall not be held liable for the possible consequences.

5.5.1 External Protective Grounding Requirements

All non-current carrying metal parts and device enclosures in the PV power system should be grounded, for example, brackets of PV modules and inverter enclosure.

When there is only one inverter in the PV system, connect the external protective grounding cable to a nearby grounding point.

When there are multiple inverters in the PV system, connect the external protective grounding terminals of all inverters and the grounding points of the PV module brackets to ensure equipotential connections to ground cables (according to the onsite conditions).

5.5.2 Connection Procedure

step 1 Prepare the cable and OT/DT terminal, refer to 5.4 Crimp OT/DT terminal.

step 2 Remove the screw on the grounding terminal and fasten the cable with a screwdriver.

5.6 AC Cable Connection

5.6.1 AC Side Requirements

Sungrow SG200HX-US - AC Side Requirements - 1

Only with the permission of the local grid department, the inverter can be connected to the grid.

Before connecting the inverter to the grid, ensure the grid voltage and frequency comply with requirements, for which, refer to "Technical Data". Otherwise, contact the electric power company for help.

AC Circuit Breaker

WARNING

Over-current protection devices, such as AC circuit breakers and fuses, must be installed on the AC side of the inverter and the grid side to ensure safe disconnection between the inverter and the grid.

  • Do not connect any local load between the inverter and the AC circuit breaker except for the tracking axis.
  • Multiple inverters cannot share one AC circuit breaker.

Multiple Inverters in Parallel Connection

When multiple inverters are connected to the grid in parallel, ensure that the maximum number of inverters connected in parallel to a single winding of the box-type substation is 15. Otherwise, please contact SUNGROW for technical scheme.

MV Transformer

The MV transformer used together with the inverter should meet the following requirements:

  • A distribution transformer can be used if it is designed for the typical cyclical loads of a PV system (there is load in the day and no load at night).
  • A liquid-immersed type transformer or a dry type transformer can be used, and the shield winding is not a requisite.
  • The line-to-line voltage on the LV side of the transformer should endure the output voltage of inverter. When the transformer is connected to the IT grid, to-ground withstanding voltage of the LV winding of the transformer, the LV side AC cables, and the LV side secondary equipment (including the relay protection device, detection & measuring device, and other related auxiliary devices) should not be lower than 906 V.
  • The line-to-line voltage on the HV side of the transformer should comply with the local power grid voltage.
  • A transformer with a tap changer on the HV side is recommended in order to keep the voltage consistent with the grid voltage.
  • At an ambient temperature of 30^ C, the transformer can run in 1.1 times of load for a long time.
  • The DC component that the transformer can withstand is 1% of the fundamental current at rated power.
  • For thermal rating, the load curve of the transformer and environment conditions should be taken into account.
  • The apparent power of the inverter should never exceed the power of the transformer. The maximum AC current of all inverters connected in parallel must be taken into account. If more than 15 inverters are connected to the grid, contact SUNGROW.
  • The transformer must be protected against overloading and short circuit.
  • The transformer is an important part of grid-connected PV generation system. The fault tolerance capacity of the transformer should be taken into account at all times. The fault include: system short circuit, grounding fault, voltage drop, etc.
  • Take ambient temperature, relative humidity, altitude, air quality, and other environmental conditions into account when selecting and installing the transformer.
  • The overall technical requirements of the box-type LV cabinet are as follows:

- The breaking capacity of the branch molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and air circuit breaker (ACB) of the box-type LV cabinet should be greater than the short circuit current at the LV side of the transformer. For example, the LV side short-circuit current of a boost transformer with a rated capacity of 3200 kVA and a short-circuit resistance of 7% can be calculated in the following way: I=3200/0.8/1.732/0.07/0.9=36.66kA. Thus the MCCB Icu of the LV cabinet branch circuit should be no less than 36.66kA at 880Vac. The LV side short-circuit current of a boost transformer with a rated capacity of 4480kVA and a short-circuit impedance of 8% can be calculated in the following way: I=4480/0.8/1.732/0.08/0.9=44.91kA. Thus the MCCB Icu of the LV cabinet branch circuit should be no less than 44.91kA at 880Vac.

  • The temperature and altitude derating should be taken into account when a circuit breaker is working, and a LV cabinet temperature rise test report is required.
  • When designing a LV cabinet, must pay attention to the impact of the diffused MCCB electric arc on the cabinet and other branch circuit MCCBs, thus the interior of the cabinet needs to be insulated. A third-party test report of the circuit-breaking performance of the whole machine in an event of a short-circuit on the LV side is also required. It is recommended to adopt graduated protection to ensure that in an event of a single short-circuit fault on the LV side of the box, the corresponding branch MCCB trips normally while the general ACB does not trip.
  • If PLC communication is adopted, reserve a fuse-switch disconnector or circuit breaker inside the LV power distribution room of the box-type transformer. For the connection to the EMU200 communication box, it is recommended to use the outdoor-type UV-resistant multi-core copper AC cable with a core diameter of 2.5mm^2 or above and an insulation voltage of >1000V. The PLC cable connecting the EMU200 to the LV bus of the box-type transformer should be <10m.

- When Anti-PID is enabled, the AC output common mode voltage of the inverter is 906V, and the following requirements should be met:

  • The LV side winding of the transformer, AC cables, and secondary devices (including protective relay, detection and measurement instruments, and related auxiliary devices) must withstand the voltage to ground of at least 906 V.
  • If the LV side winding is in Y shape, neutral point grounding is prohibited.
  • Surge protective devices (SPD) for the AC combiner box and on the LV side of the transformer are recommended to be connected in the "3+1" manner, as shown in the figure below. The Min. continuous operating voltages of M1 - M4 are 680 Vac.

L1 L2 L3 M1 M2 M3 M4

- The string serial communication box EMU200A requires an external power supply of 220 Vac, so a power supply port and an input port (including switches) should be reserved in the LV power distribution room of the boost transformer.

5.6.2 Requirements for OT/DT Terminal

OT/DT terminals (not included in the delivery scope) are required for fixing AC cables to the terminal block. Purchase the OT/DT terminals according to the following requirements.

5.7 DC Cable Connection

! DANGER

The PV string will generate lethal high voltage when exposed to sunlight.

- Respect all safety instructions listed in relevant documents about PV strings.

WARNING

  • Make sure the PV array is well insulated to ground before connecting it to the inverter.
  • Make sure the maximum DC voltage and the maximum short circuit current of any string never exceed inverter permitted values specified in "Technical Data".
  • Check the positive and negative polarity of the PV strings, and connect the PV connectors to corresponding terminals only after ensuring polarity correctness.
  • During the installation and operation of the inverter, please ensure that the positive or negative electrodes of PV strings do not short-circuit to the ground. Otherwise, an AC or DC short-circuit may occur, resulting in equipment damage. The damage caused by this is not covered by the warranty.
  • Electric arc or contactor over-temperature may occur if the DC connectors are not firmly in place, and the loss caused is not covered by the warranty.
  • If the DC input cables are reversely connected or the positive and negative terminals of different MPPT are shorted to ground at the same time, while the DC switch is in the "ON" position, do not operate immediately. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged. Please turn the DC switch to "OFF" and remove the DC connector to adjust the polarity of the strings when the string current is lower than 0.5 A.
  • Use the DC connectors supplied with the product for DC cable connection. Using incompatible DC connectors may result in serious consequences, and the device damage is not covered under warranty.
  • Inverters do not support full parallel connection of strings (Full parallel connection refers to a connection method in that strings are connected in parallel and then connected to the inverter separately).
  • Do not connect one PV string to multiple inverters. Otherwise, the inverters may be damaged.
  • If AC wiring is to be performed when the inverter is connected to the grid, ensure the DC switches are set to "OFF" to guarantee the construction safety.

NOTICE

The following requirements about PV string connection must be met. Otherwise, it may cause irreversible damage to the inverter, which is not covered by the warranty.

- Mixed use of PV modules of different brands or models in one MPPT circuit, or PV modules of different orientation or inclination in a string may not damage inverter, but will cause system bad performance!

5.7.1 PV Input Configuration

  • As shown in the figure below, the inverter is provided with multiple PV inputs, each PV input is designed with an MPP tracker.
    • Each PV input operates independently and has its own MPPT. In this way, string structures of each PV input may differ from each other, including number of PV modules in each string, angle of tilt, and installation orientation.
    • Each PV input includes two PV strings. In order to fully utilize the input power of PV panels, the PV strings of each PV input should have the same structure, including the same type, the same number, the same tilt, and the same orientation.

5.9 PLC Communication Connection

With a PLC communication module built inside, the inverter can communicate with the Data Logger provided by SUNGROW. For specific wiring method, refer to the user manual for the data logger.

Sungrow SG200HX-US - PLC Communication Connection - 1

  • The Data Logger is an optional device that can be ordered from SUNGROW.
  • The Data Logger conducts data communication by directly using the AC output cable of the inverter and thus saves the trouble to lay and maintain the special communication cables. The RS-485 port of the Data Logger supports the transparent transmission of the MODBUS-RTU and is completely compatible with the monitoring devices and software of the original RS-485 communication method.

5.9.1 Application Scenarios

5.9.2 PLC Wiring Rules

Wiring from box-type transformer to inverter

General requirements

The box-type transformer can be connected to the inverter using multi-core AC cables or single-core AC cables, or adopting the two-wire-per-phase wiring scheme, as required by the project.

Sungrow SG200HX-US - General requirements - 1

To ensure communication quality, the use of multi-core cables is recommended.

  • The cable should be laid in cable trenches, cable ducts, or conduits.
  • The cables should be laid parallel without any knots or twists.

L1 L2 L1

- For three-phase single-core cables, they should be fixed every 1 meter and arranged in a "triangular" shape.

1m

Sungrow SG200HX-US - General requirements - 4

In this scenario, the cables are not easily bent. It is recommended to tie them separately at positions 10cm before and after the bend.

10cm 10cm

- If the single-core cables exceed 400 meters, log into the Web UI of Logger4000, on the >MPLC page, set the PLC master node's frequency to Band2 or Band3.

Requirements for two-wire-per-phase wiring

If two-wire-per-phase wiring is adopted, to ensure the MPLC communication quality, the length difference between the two sets of cables must not exceed 5 meters. For two-wire-per-phase

wiring using single-core cables, the requirements for both sets of cables and the frequency band settings are the same as mentioned above.

1m 1m ≤5m

figure 5-7 Two-wire-per-phase wiring scheme
