5.7 Installing the DC Input Power Cable
Precautions
D ANGER
● Before connecting the DC input power cable, ensure that the DC voltage is
within the safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the three DC switches on
the inverter are set to OFF. Failure to do so may result in electric shocks.
● When the inverter operates in grid-tied mode, do not perform maintenance or
operations on the DC circuit, such as connecting or disconnecting a PV string or
a PV module in the PV string. Failure to do so may cause electric shocks or
arcing, which may also cause fire.
WARNING
Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the inverter may be
damaged, or even a fire could happen.
● The open-circuit voltage of each PV string must always be 1500 V DC or lower.
● The polarities of electric connections are correct on the DC input side. The
positive and negative terminals of a PV module connect to corresponding
positive and negative DC input terminals of the inverter.

● Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.
● The PV strings connecting to the same MPPT circuit should contain the same
number of identical PV modules.
● The solar inverter does not support full parallel connection for PV strings (full
parallel connection: PV strings connect to one another in parallel outside the
solar inverter and then connect to the solar inverter separately).
● During the installation of PV strings and the inverter, the positive or negative
terminals of PV strings may be short-circuited to ground if the power cable is
not properly installed or routed. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may
occur and damage the inverter. The caused device damage is not covered under
any warranty.
Terminal Description
The inverter provides 18 DC input terminals, which are controlled by its three DC
switches. DC SWITCH 1 controls DC input terminals 1–6, DC SWITCH 2 controls DC
input terminals 7–12, and DC SWITCH 3 controls DC input terminals 13–18.

Wiring Description of Y-branch Connectors
NO TICE
● Y-branch connectors can be purchased from Huawei or the manufacturers
based on the following recommended models: If the rated current of the fuse
of the Y-branch connector is 15 A, the recommended model is 904095944
(Luxshare) or A040959443039 (Comlink); if the rated current of the fuse of the
Y-branch connector is 20 A, the recommended model is 904095945 (Luxshare)
or A040959453039 (Comlink).
● Do not use Y-branch connectors that are not recommended.
● When connecting cables to recommended Y-branch connectors, ensure that the
connectors to be paired match each other and are from the same
manufacturer. Otherwise, the contact resistance of the connectors may exceed
the allowed value. In this case, the connectors may be heated and oxidized,
which may cause faults.
● When the Y-branch connector is used with the MC4 EVO2 contacts, you are
advised to use the 32.6020-22100-HZ (Staubli) crimping tool. You can also use
the PV-CZM-22100 (Staubli) crimping tool. When choosing PV-CZM-22100
(Staubli), do not use the locator. Otherwise, the metal contacts would be
damaged.
● Ensure that the locking nuts of all connectors are tightened.
● Do not bind more than three fuse enclosures together. Otherwise, the fuses and
their enclosures may be damaged due to overheating. It is recommended that a
clearance of 10 mm or more be reserved between fuse enclosures. You are
advised not to bind the fuse enclosures with other heat emitting conductors.
● Do not place the Y-branch connector harness on the ground. A safe distance
must be reserved between the Y-branch connector harness and the ground to

● It is recommended that Y-branch connectors be connected from the PV string
side or connected to the solar inverter with a safe distance of at least 4 m and
bound to the PV support.
● The DC input terminals of the solar inverter are prone to damage under stress.
When Y-branch connectors are connected to the solar inverter, bind and secure
the connectors to prevent the DC input terminals from bearing stress. For
details, see A Securing Y-Branch Connectors.
Wiring rules:
1.
A maximum of one set of Y-branch connectors can be used for each MPPT.
2.
The PV+ on the inverter side must be connected to the PV+ on the PV string
side, and the PV– on the inverter side must be connected to the PV– on the
string side.
3.
Preferentially and evenly connect the Y-branch connectors to the MPPTs
controlled by DC SWITCH 2 or DC SWITCH 3.

● When you use the SUN2000 app to set parameters for the inverter, setting
items on certain parameter setting screens are not displayed if the AC switch
between the inverter and the power grid is turned on but the three DC switches
on the inverter are not in the ON position. Switch the three DC switches to the
ON position and then reset relevant parameters.
● If you change the grid code, some parameters may be restored to factory
defaults. After the grid code is changed, check whether the previously set
parameters are affected.
● Delivering a reset, factory reset, shutdown, or upgrade command to the solar
inverters may cause power grid connection failure, which affects the energy
yield.
● Only professionals are allowed to set the grid parameters, protection
parameters, feature parameters, and power adjustment parameters of the solar
inverters. If the grid parameters, protection parameters, and feature parameters
are incorrectly set, the solar inverters may not connect to the power grid. If the
power adjustment parameters are incorrectly set, the solar inverters may not
connect to the power grid as required. In these cases, the energy yield will be
affected.

RCD refers to the residual current
of the inverter to the ground. To
ensure device and personal safety,
RCD should be limited to the
specified value in the standard. If

PV module type
This parameter is used to set
different types of PV modules and
the shutdown time of the
concentration PV module. If the
concentration PV modules are
shaded, the power drops
drastically to 0 and the inverter
shuts down. The energy yield
would be affected since it takes
too long for the power to resume
and inverter to restart. The
parameter does not need to be
set for crystalline silicon and filmy
PV modules.
● If this parameter is set to
Crystalline silicon or Film,
the inverter automatically
detects the power of PV
modules when they are
shaded and shuts down if
the power is too low.
● When concentration PV
modules are used:
–
If this parameter is set to
CPV 1, the inverter can
quickly restart in 60
minutes if the input
power of PV modules
drops drastically due to
shading.
–
If this parameter is set to
CPV 2, the inverter can
quickly restart in 10
minutes if the input
power of PV modules
drops drastically due to
shading.

Built-in PID
compensation
direction
When the external PID module
compensates the PID voltage for
the PV system, set Built-in PID
compensation direction to the
actual compensation direction of
the PID module so that the
inverter can output reactive
power at night.
-
9
String connection
mode
Specifies the connection mode of
PV strings.
● When PV strings connect to
the inverter separately (All
PV strings separated), there
is no need to set this
parameter. The inverter can
automatically detect the
connection mode of the PV
strings.
● When PV strings connect to
one another in parallel
outside the inverter and
then connect to it
independently (All PV
strings connected), set this
parameter to All PV strings
connected.

8.5 Troubleshooting
Alarm severities are defined as follows:
●
Major: The inverter is faulty. As a result, the output power decreases or the
grid-tied power generation is stopped.
●
Minor: Some components are faulty without affecting the grid-tied power
generation.

Troubleshooting Suggestions
2001
High String
Input Voltage
Major
The PV array is not
properly configured.
Excessive PV modules are
connected in series to a PV
string, and therefore the
PV string open-circuit
voltage exceeds the
maximum operating
voltage of the inverter.
● Cause ID 1: PV strings 1
and 2
● Cause ID 2: PV strings 3
and 4
● Cause ID 3: PV strings 5
and 6
● Cause ID 4: PV strings 7
and 8
● Cause ID 5: PV strings 9
and 10
● Cause ID 6: PV strings
11 and 12
● Cause ID 7: PV strings
13 and 14
● Cause ID 8: PV strings
15 and 16
● Cause ID 9: PV strings
17 and 18
Reduce the number of PV
modules connected in series in
the PV string until the PV
string open-circuit voltage is
not greater than the
maximum operating voltage
of the inverter. After the PV
array configuration is
corrected, the alarm
disappears.
2011
String Reverse
Connection
Major
The PV string is reversely
connected.
Cause ID 1–18: PV strings
1–18
Check whether the PV string is
reversely connected to the
inverter. If yes, wait until the
PV string current drops below
0.5 A. Then, set all DC
switches to OFF and correct
the PV string connection.

1. Only a few PV modules
are connected in series
in the PV string.
Therefore, the end
voltage is lower than
that of other PV strings.
2. The PV string is shaded.
Cause ID 1–18: PV strings
1–18
1. Check whether the number
of PV modules connected
in series in the PV string is
less than that in other PV
strings connected in
parallel with this PV string.
If yes, wait until the PV
string current drops below
0.5 A, set all DC switches to
OFF, and adjust the
number of PV modules in
the PV string.
2. Check whether the open-
circuit voltage of the PV
string is normal.
3. Check whether the PV
string is shaded.
2015
PV String Loss
Warning
This alarm is generated
when the PV string status
is abnormal in the
following conditions:
● A single PV string is
lost.
● Both 2-in-1 PV strings
are lost.
● Either of the 2-in-1 PV
strings is lost.
Cause ID 1–8: PV strings
1–18
1. If the PV string access type
is manually set, check
whether it is consistent
with the actual access
status.
2. Check whether the inverter
terminals are properly
connected.
3. Check whether the PV
string terminals are
properly connected.
4. If a 2-in-1 terminal is used,
check whether it is normal.
2031
Phase Wire
Short-Circuited
to PE
Major
Cause ID=1
The impedance of the
output phase wire to PE is
low or the output phase
wire is short-circuited to
PE.
Check the impedance of the
output phase wire to PE,
locate the position with lower
impedance, and rectify the
fault.
2032
Grid Loss
Major
Cause ID=1
1. The power grid
experiences an outage.
2. The AC circuit is
disconnected or the AC
switch is off.
1. The alarm is automatically
cleared after the power
grid is restored.
2. Check whether the AC
circuit is disconnected or
the AC switch is off.

The grid voltage is below
the lower threshold or the
undervoltage duration has
exceeded the time that
triggers LVRT.
1. If the alarm occurs
occasionally, the power grid
may be abnormal
temporarily. The inverter
automatically recovers
after detecting that the
power grid becomes
normal.
2. If the alarm occurs
frequently, check whether
the power grid voltage is
within the acceptable
range. If not, contact the
local power operator. If yes,
modify the grid
undervoltage protection
threshold through the
mobile app, SmartLogger,
or network management
system (NMS) with the
consent of the local power
operator.
3. If the fault persists for a
long time, check the AC
circuit breaker and AC
output power cable.
2034
Grid
Overvoltage
Major
Cause ID=1
The grid voltage is beyond
the upper threshold or the
overvoltage duration has
exceeded the time that
triggers HVRT.
1. Check whether the grid
connection voltage exceeds
the upper threshold. If yes,
contact the local power
operator.
2. If you have confirmed that
the grid-tied voltage
exceeds the upper
threshold and have
obtained the consent of the
local power operator,
modify the overvoltage
protection threshold
through the mobile app,
SmartLogger, or NMS.
3. Check whether the peak
grid voltage exceeds the
upper threshold.
