XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ABB solar inverters Technical documentations 1 * For PVI-6.0/8.0/10.0/12.5-TL-OUTD-S models: 4 pieces for PVI-6.0/8.0/10.0/12.5-TL-OUTD and PVI-6.0/8.0/10.0/12.5-TL-OUTD-FS models: 6 pieces All versions of the inverter are equipped with two input channels (therefore with double maximum power point tracker MPPT) independent of each other, which can however be connected in parallel using a single MPPT. Configuration of independent channels (default configuration) This configuration involves the use of the two input channels (MPPT) in independent mode. This means that the jumpers between the two channels (positive and negative) of the DC input terminal block 14 must not be installed and the switch 16 located on the main board must be set to “IND”. Configuration of parallel-connected channels This configuration uses the two input channels (MPPT) connected in parallel. This means that the jumpers between the two channels (positive and negative) of the DC input terminal block 14 must be installed and the switch 16 located on the main board must be set to “PAR”. 14 16 16 PVI-X-TL-OUTD-Y P/N:PPPPPPPPPPP WO:XXXXXXX SO:SXXXXXXXX Q1 SN:YYWWSSSSSS WK:WWYY 01 02 04 03 11.

Characteristics and technical data Contact us www.abb.com/solarinverters LEDs and BUTTONS, in various combinations, can be used to view the status or carry out complex actions that are described more fully in the manual. 06 05 04 LED POWER GREEN On if the inverter is working correctly. Flashes when checking the grid or if there is insufficient sunlight. ESC It is used to access the main menu, to go back to the previous menu or to go back to the previous digit to be edited LED ALARM YELLOW The inverter has detected an anomaly. The anomaly is shown on the display. UP It is used to scroll up the menu options or to shift the numerical scale in ascending order LED GFI RED Ground fault on the DC side of the PV generator. The error is shown on the display. DOWN It is used to scroll down the menu options or to shift the numerical scale in descending order ENTER It can be used to confirm an action, to access the submenu for the selected option (indicated by the > symbol) or to switch to the next digit to be edited ABB inverters are equipped with a graphic Display 05 , consisting of 2 lines of 16 characters each, which can be used to: - Display the operating state of the inverter and the statistical data - Display the service messages for the operator - Display the alarm and fault messages for the operator - Changing the settings of the inverter During the normal operation of the inverter the display cycles through the GENERAL INFORMATION. This information relates to the input and output parame- ters and the inverter identification parameters. By pressing ENTER it is possible to lock scrolling on a screen to be constantly displayed. Press ESC to access the three main menus, which have the following functions: - STATISTICS: Displays the statistics - SETTINGS: Modify the settings of the inverter - INFO: View service messages for the operator Refer to the manual for details regarding use and functions available in the menu Check for correct polarity in the input strings and absence of any leakage to ground in the PV generator. When exposed to sunlight, the PV panels supply DC direct voltage to the inverter. The inside of the inverter may only be accessed after the equipment has been discon- nected from the grid and from the photovoltaic generator. Warning! The inverters to which this document relates to are WITHOUT ISOLATION TRANSFORMER (transformer-less). This type involves the use of insulated photovoltaic panels (IEC61730 Class A Rating) and the need to maintain the photovoltaic generator floating with respect to earth: no pole of the generator must be connected to earth. Each input is equipped with protection fuses on the -FS model: check that the fuse current rating is the correct size for the photovoltaic modules installed. For the string connections it is necessary to use the quick fit connectors (multicontact or weidmüller) located on the bottom of the mechanic 09 10 . The number of quick fit connectors changes based on the model of inverter. STANDARD VERSION -FS VERSION -S VERSION No. of input channels 2 2 No. of quick fit connectors 12 (6 pairs) 8 (4 pairs) - Crimp the Multicontact/Weidmüller MC4/WM4 quick fit connector counterparts (supplied) to the string cables or to the cables wired to the DC disconnect switches (external) - Connect all the strings included in the design of the system and always check the tightness of the connectors - If some of the string inputs should not be used you must proceed to verify the presence of covers on DC input connectors and then install them should they be absent: this operation is necessary for the tightness of the inverter and to avoid damaging the free connector that could be used at a later date. STANDARD VERSION 09 10 -S VERSION 09 10 -FS VERSION 09 10 Load protection breaker (AC disconnect switch) and line cable sizing To protect the AC connection line of the inverter, we recommend installing a device for protection against over current and leakage with the following characteristics: PVI-6.0-TL-OUTD PVI-8.0-TL-OUTD PVI-10.0-TL-OUTD PVI-12.5-TL-OUTD Type Automatic circuit breaker with differential thermal magnetic protection Nominal Voltage / Nominal Current 400 Vac / 16 A 400 Vac / 16 A 400 Vac / 20 A 400 Vac / 25 A Magnetic protection characteristic B/C Number of poles 3/4 Type of differential protection A/AC Differential sensitivity 300 mA ABB declares that the ABB transformerless inverters, in terms of their construction, do not inject continuous ground fault currents and therefore there is no requirement that the differential protection installed downstream of the inverter be type B in accordance with IEC 60755 / A 2. Characteristics and sizing of the line cable For the connection of the inverter to the grid, you can choose between a star connection (3 phases + neutral) and a delta connection (3 phases). The cross-section of the AC line conductor must be sized in order to prevent unwanted disconnections of the inverter from the grid due to high impedance of the line that connects the inverter to the power supply point. Cross-section of the line conductor Maximum length of the line conductor The values are calculated in nominal power condi- tions, taking into account: 1. a power loss of not more than 1% along the line 2. copper cable, with HEPR rubber insulation, laid in free air PVI-6.0-TL PVI-8.0-TL PVI-10.0-TL PVI-12.5-TL 4 mm² 55 m 43 m 34 m 28 m* 6 mm² 80 m 65 m 51 m 42 m 10 mm² 135 m 108 m 85 m 70 m 16 mm² 210 m 173 m 136 m 113 m * Up to 45 °C Ambient temperature max 16 mm 19 ÷ 28 mm 2 Warning! Before performing any of the operations described below, ensure the AC line downstream the inverter has been correctly disconnected - Remove the protective film located on the hole to be used for the AC cables 11 - Insert the M40 cable gland in the hole and secure it using the special M40 lock nut (supplied) Warning! To ensure environmental protection IP65 it is necessary to fix the cable gland to the inverter chassis with a minimum tightening torque of 8.0 Nm - Strip 10 mm of sheathing from the AC grid connection cables - Plug the AC line cable into the inverter, passing it through the previously installed cable gland - Connect the protective earth (yellow-green) cable to the contact labelled with the symbol on the terminal block 15 Warning! ABB inverters should be earthed (PE) via the terminal with the protective earth label , using a cable with an appropriate cross- section of the conductor for the maximum ground fault current that the generating system might experience - Connect the neutral cable (normally blue) to the terminal labelled with the letter N - Connect the phase cables to the terminals labelled with the letters R, S and T Warning! The AC cables must be tightened on the terminal block with a minimum torque of 1.5 Nm Once the connection to the terminal board 15 is complete, screw in the cable gland firmly (tightening torque 5.0Nm) and check the tightness. 15 Each cable which must be connected to the connectors of the communication and control signals must pass through one of the five service cable glands 12 . An M20 cable gland (that takes cables from 7 mm to 13 mm in diameter) and a gasket with two holes to insert into the cable gland which enables two sepa- rate cables of a maximum diameter of 5 mm to be accommodated, are available Warning! To ensure environmental protection IP65 it is necessary to fix the cable glands to the inverter chassis with a minimum tightening torque of 7 Nm Connection to the RS485 communication line The RS485 communication port is the inverter’s communication port. The ABB inverters use an RS485 HALF-DUPLEX communication line made up of two transmission and reception cables (+T/R and –T/R) and a communication reference cable (RTN): all three cables must be connected in daisy-chain configuration. The chain connection can be made without distinction by using the RJ45 connector couples 19 (one for in and one for out) or the terminal block 18 .The last inverter in the daisy chain must be “terminated” or the 120 Ohm communication line termination resistance must be activated by switching the dip-switch 20 . Using the alarm terminal block Terminal block 18 connecting to the configurable relay that allows connection of external devices which, according to the mode selected in the menu “SET- TINGS > Alarm” can, for example, signal malfunctions. The operating modes that can be set are: Production, Alarm, Alarm (Configurable) and Crepuscolar. 19 20 18 The ALARM contact can be used only with systems that ensure a safety isolating additional at least (supplementary insulation in relation to the DC input voltage) Using the REMOTE terminal block The REMOTE terminal block 18 , if suitably configured, allows the “Remote ON/OFF” function to be used: this function allows remote disconnection of the inverter from the grid For further information regarding the configuration and use of the communication and control signals terminal block, please see the manual The inverter commissioning procedure is as follows: - Switch the integrated switch 08 (versions –S and –FS) to the ON position or close the external switches: If the input voltage applied to one of the two input channels is greater than the minimum starting voltage, the inverter will start up. - When the inverter is turned on for the first time you will be asked to select the “Country” of installation. This selection allows the inverter to automatically configure its parameters to ensure that compliance with local standards; the default language corresponding to the selected “Country” will also be set. Warning! After the grid standard was set you have 24 hours to make any changes to the grid standard value; 24 hours later the “Country Select.” functionality will be blocked, and any subsequent changes can only be made using a password provided on request by ABB - After you have set the “Country” value, the message “Inizializing...Please Wait” is displayed. Depending on the input voltage value, the inverter will show various messages on the display and change the behaviour of the three LED 04 : INPUT VOLTAGE DISPLAY MESSAGE LED STATUS DESCRIPTION Vin < Vstart Waiting Sun Green = FLASHING Yellow = OFF Red = OFF The input voltage is not sufficient to permit connection to the grid. Vin > Vstart Missing Grid Green = FLASHING Yellow = ON Red = OFF There is sufficient input voltage to permit connection to the grid: the inverter waits until there is grid voltage to carry out the parallel connection. The inverter is powered ONLY by the voltage coming from the photovoltaic generator: presence of grid voltage alone IS NOT SUFFICIENT to permit the inverter to start up. - With the inverter in “Missing Grid” status, close the AC switch downstream the inverter so as to supply the grid voltage to the inverter: the inverter performs the grid voltage check, measures the photovoltaic generator insulation resistance against earth and carries out other self-diagnosis checks. During the checks before the parallel with the grid, the green LED keeps flashing, the others are off. During the grid voltage check and measurement of the insulation resistance, the values for the grid voltage and frequency and the insulation resis- tance measured by the inverter are shown on the display. The inverter completes parallel connection with the grid SOLELY if the grid parameters meet the ranges provided for by the regulations in force and if the insulation resistance is greater than 1Mohm. - If the preliminary checks for parallel connection to the grid are successful, the inverter connects to the grid and begins to export power to the grid. At this stage, the display shows the inverter’s parameters in cycles. The green LED stays lit whereas the others are off.
