Mac inverter's working principle is like following: Figure 3.4

Figure 3.3
1>The PV panels gather solar to generate DC power to inverter.
2>With input current detection circuit, it can monitor all the PV panels' working status
and use MPPT to track the maximum power point.
3>With inverter circuit change DC power to AC power, and feed power back to grid per
grid reuqirement.
4>With output isolation relay can isolate AC output and grid, if anything goes wrong on
either inverter side or grid side, isolation relay can disconnect inverter immediately.

1>Close the DC switch on the inverter. As long as the input DC voltage is greater than
250V, the inverter display will display the following message: If there is no mains
connection error, the inverter LED will turn red. If other information is displayed,
please refer to Chapter 9. If the debugging process encounters an unsolvable
problem, please contact customer service and perform the next step.
2>Close the circuit breaker or switch between the inverter and the grid. The inverter
starts the self-test countdown. After the self-test is normal, it will be connected to the
grid.

At this mode, inverter will check the system parameter. If the system is normal and PV
voltage is more than 250VDC, inverter will try to connect to the grid.

7.2.1 Waiting Mode

In this mode, the inverter works normally, the leaf of the indication window turns
green, and the LED display shows the active power and apparent power.
When the DC voltage is more than 250V DC, inverter will send the AC current
converted from PV module DC to the grid.
When the DC voltage is lower than 250VDC, inverter will enter into “waiting” and try
to connect to the grid, at this status, inverter consume very small power to check the
internal system status.
Note: only when the PV modules supply enough power(voltage＞ 200VDC) then the
inverter will start automatically.

7.2.2 Failure Mode

The intelligent control system of the inverter constantly monitors and adjusts the state
of the system. When the inverter detects any fault, the leaf of the indication window is
steady red or flashing red, and the LED display shows the fault message.
Note: please refer to section 9.2 to check the fault message and take corrective
measures.

●Do not use the air pump cleaning fan, which may cause fan damage.
WARNING

When the Growatt Max series inverter work in high temperature environment, good
ventilation and heat dissipation can effectively reduce the chance of load derating .
Inverter equipped with internal cooling fans, when the internal temperature is too high,
the fans work in to reduce the internal temperature. When the inverter is derating
because of the internal temperature is too high, the following are the possible reasons or
solutions;
●Fan is blocked or the heat sink gathers too much dust, it needs to clean the fan, fan
cover or heat sink.
●Fan is damaged, it need to replace the fan.
●Poor ventilation of the installation location, it needs to select the appropriate
installation location according to the basic installation requirements.

Fan cleaning and replacement procedure.

1>Please ensure that the DC side and AC side of the inverter have been disconnected
before cleaning or replacement of the fan.
●Turn off DC switch.
●Disconnect DC terminals from inverter( Users need tools to disconnect the DC
connection terminals）
●Turn off AC switch；
2>Remove the screws on the fan guards with a cross screwdriver. it is shown as below

 11 Decommissioning
If the inverter does not operate in the future, it needs to be properly disposing. The steps
are as follows:
1>Disconnect the external AC short circuit and prevent reconnection due to
misoperation.
2>Turn the DC switch to "OFF" position.
3>Wait at least 5 minutes until the internal capacitor discharge is completed.
4>Disconnect the AC connector.
5>Disconnect DC connector.
6>Remove the inverter from the wall.
7>Disposing of the inverter.
