CAUTION
Risk of electric shock from energy stored in the inverter's capacitors.
Do not remove cover until five (5) minutes after disconnecting all sources
of supply have passed, and this can only be done by a service technician.
The warranty may be voided if any unauthorized removal of cover occurs.
The inverter has been constructed according to applicable safety and technical guidelines.
Use the inverter in installations that meet the following requirements ONLY:
1). The inverter must be permanently installed.
2). The electrical installation must meet all the applicable regulations and standards.
3). The inverter must be installed according to the instructions stated in this manual.
4). The system design must meet inverter specifications.
To start-up the inverter, the Grid Supply Main Switch (AC) must be turned on, BEFORE the DC
Switch is turned on. To stop the inverter, see power down instruction on page 38 Section 6.2.
2.3 Notice for use
2.4 Protection Circuitry and Controls
To meet relevant codes and standards, the Solis U.S. three phase inverter line is
equipped with protective circuitry and controls. These include Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter
(AFCI) and Anti-Islanding Protection.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter AFCI:
Edition 2011 of the National Electrical Code®, Section 690.11, requires that all PV plants
attached to a building are fitted with a means of detecting and interrupting serial electric
arcs in the PV wiring and array. An electric arc with a power of 300W or greater must be
interrupted by the AFCI in the time specified by UL 1699B. A triggered AFCI fault may only
be reset manually. After clearing the source of the fault, the AFCI can be deactivated via
the inverter front panel interface.
Anti-Islanding Protection:
Anti-Islanding is a condition where the inverter cease to produce power when the grid
is not present. Circuitry, along with firmware, has been designed to determine if the grid is
present by adjusting the output frequency of the inverter. In the case of a 60Hz resonant
system where the inverter is partially isolated from the grid, the inverter programming can
detect if there is a resonant condition or if the grid is actually present. It can also
differentiate between inverter’s operating in parallel and the grid.
