CLEARANCE AND MAINTENANCE FOR ANTI-DUST KIT

Overview
Every inverter is already installed with anti-dusk kit from factory. This kit keeps dusk from your inverter and
increases product reliability in harsh environment.

Clearance and Maintenance


Step 1: Please remove the screws on the sides of the inverter.

Step 2: Then, dustproof case can be removed and take out air filter foam as shown in below chart.

Step 3: Clean air filter foam and dustproof case. After clearance, re-assemble the dust-kit back to the inverter.

NOTICE: The anti-dust kit should be cleaned from dust every one month.

44
BATTERY EQUALIZATION
Equalization function is added into charge controller. It reverses the buildup of negative chemical effects like
stratification, a condition where acid concentration is greater at the bottom of the battery than at the top.
Equalization also helps to remove sulfate crystals that might have built up on the plates. If left unchecked, this
condition, called sulfation, will reduce the overall capacity of the battery. Therefore, it’s recommended to
equalize battery periodically.

 How to Apply Equalization Function


You must enable battery equalization function in monitoring LCD setting program 33 first. Then, you may apply
this function in device by either one of following methods:
1. Setting equalization interval in program 37.
2. Active equalization immediately in program 39.

 When to Equalize
In float stage, when the setting equalization interval (battery equalization cycle) is arrived, or equalization is
active immediately, the controller will start to enter Equalize stage.

 Equalize charging time and timeout


In Equalize stage, the controller will supply power to charge battery as much as possible until battery voltage
raises to battery equalization voltage. Then, constant-voltage regulation is applied to maintain battery voltage
at the battery equalization voltage. The battery will remain in the Equalize stage until setting battery equalized
time is arrived.

However, in Equalize stage, when battery equalized time is expired and battery voltage doesn’t rise to battery
equalization voltage point, the charge controller will extend the battery equalized time until battery voltage
achieves battery equalization voltage. If battery voltage is still lower than battery equalization voltage when
battery equalized timeout setting is over, the charge controller will stop equalization and return to float stage.

This inverter can be used in parallel with two different operation modes.
1. Parallel operation in single phase is with up to 6 units. The supported maximum output power is
60KW/60KVA.
2. Maximum six units work together to support three-phase equipment. Maximum four units support one
phase.

2. Mounting the Unit


When installing multiple units, please follow below chart.

NOTE: For proper air circulation to dissipate heat, allow a clearance of approx. 20 cm to the side and approx.
50 cm above and below the unit. Be sure to install each unit in the same level.

3. Wiring Connection
WARNING: It’s REQUIRED to connect battery for parallel operation.
The cable size of each inverter is shown as below:
Recommended battery cable and terminal size for each inverter:
Ring Terminal Ring terminal:
Wire Size Cable mm2 Dimensions Torque value
D (mm) L (mm)
1*3/0AWG 85.0 8.4 54 5 Nm
WARNING: Be sure the length of all battery cables is the same. Otherwise, there
will be voltage difference between inverter and battery to cause parallel inverters
not working.
Recommended AC input and output cable size for each inverter:
Model AWG no. Torque
10KW 8 AWG 1.4~ 1.6 Nm
You need to connect the cables of each inverter together. Take the battery cables for example: You need to
use a connector or bus-bar as a joint to connect the battery cables together, and then connect to the battery
terminal. The cable size used from joint to battery should be X times cable size in the tables above. “X”
indicates the number of inverters connected in parallel.
Regarding AC input and output, please also follow the same principle.
CAUTION!! Please install the breaker at the battery and AC input side. This will ensure the inverter can be
securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of battery or AC input.
Recommended breaker specification of battery for each inverter:
Model 1 unit*
10KW 250A/70VDC
