4.3.4. DC Side (PV) Connections
The DC connections includes wiring from the PV modules, possibly through a combiner box,
to the inverter. The inverter may be configured with the optional Stringbox.
DANGER: Never work with live wires!
Disconnect the PV array before starting the connection on the DC side, as the PV
array can supply up to 600 V
DC
to the inverter when exposed to sunlight. Ensure
that the output voltage or current from the PV modules is zero.
String Configuration
A PV string consists of a certain number of PV modules connected in series, which in turn
can be connected in parallel and attached to the inverter. Due to a large voltage range there
are several feasible PV string combinations, which must be accomplished according to the
module manufacturer guidelines and the local and national electrical regulations.
• The grounding configuration of the PV strings and the connection to the DC terminals
depend on the module technology used and the local or national electrical regulations.
• Use the correct system configuration according to the PV module manufacturer guidelines
and the relevant local and national electrical regulations for ungrounded or negative/positive
grounded PV strings.
• The inverter is delivered from the factory in an ungrounded PV string configuration as
standard, but may be configured for positive or negative grounded PV strings.
• The configuration of a negative grounded PV string differs from an ungrounded PV string
with the addition of a grounding strap.
• The configuration of a positive grounded PV string differs from an ungrounded PV string
with the connection to the DC terminal blocks and the addition of a grounding strap.
• String configuration depends on the module technology used. Due to the inverter having
one MPP-tracker the number and type of PV modules, and hence the PV power, should be
identical for every string.
• Both the positive and negative DC terminal block has three pairs of inputs, for parallel PV
string connection. Due to the inverter having one MPP-tracker the number and type of PV
modules and hence the PV power should be identical for every string.
NOTICE!
Maximum Voltage: The open circuit voltage (V
OC
) must never exceed 600 V
DC
under any
conditions. The voltage generated by PV modules is inversely proportional to the
temperature; at lower temperatures the PV voltage increases from the nameplate rating and at
higher temperatures the PV voltage decreases from the nameplate rating. Refer to 3.1.2.
Operation.
