3.3 Battery connection

For safe operation and compliance, a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device is required between the battery and the inverter. In some applications, switching devices may not be required but over-current protectors are still required. Refer to the typical amperage in the table below for the required fuse or circuit breaker size.

Model Wire Size Cablel (mm2) Torque value (max)
5 Kw 2 AWG 35 24.5 Nm
6/8 Kw 1 AWG 50 24.5 Nm
10/12 Kw 1/0 AWG 50 24.5 Nm
Chart 3-2 Cable size

All wiring must be performed by a professional person

Please follow the below steps to implement battery connection:

  1. Please choose a suitable battery cable with the correct connector which can well fit into the battery terminals.
  2. Use a suitable screwdriver to unscrew the bolts and fit the battery connectors in, then fasten the bolt by the screwdriver, making sure the bolts are tightened with a torque of 24.5 N.M in a clockwise direction.
  3. Make sure the polarity at both the battery and inverter is correctly connected.

3.4 Grid connection and backup load connection

  • Before connecting to the grid, please install a separate AC breaker between the inverter and the grid. Also, it is recommended that installs an AC breaker between the backup load and inverter. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from overcurrent. The recommended of AC breaker for the load port is 20A for 8kw, 32A for 10kw, and 32A for 12KW. The recommended of AC breaker for the grid port is 63A for 8kw, 63A for 10kw, and 63A for 12KW.
  • There are three terminal blocks with “Grid” “Load” and “GEN” markings. Please do not misconnect in ut and output connectors.

Grid connection – Chart 3-3 Recommended Size for AC wires

Please follow the below steps to implement Grid, load and Gen port connection:

  1. Before making the Grid, load and Gen port connection, be sure to turn off the AC breaker or disconnector first.
  2. Remove the insulation sleeve 10 mm in length, unscrew the bolts, insert the wires according to the polarities indicated on the terminal block, and tighten the terminal screws. Make sure the connection is complete.
Grid, load and Gen port connection of Inverter

Be sure that the AC power source is disconnected before attempting to wire it to the unit.

  1. Then, insert AC output wires according to the polarities indicated on the terminal block and tighten the terminal. Be sure to connect corresponding N wires and PE wires to related terminals as well.
  2. Make sure the wires are securely connected.
  3. Appliances such as air conditioner are required at least 2-3 minutes to restart because it is
  4. required to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside the circuit. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a short time, it will cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this kind of damage, please check with the manufacturer of the air conditioner if it is equipped with a time-delay function before installation. Otherwise, this inverter will trigger an overload fault and cut off output to protect your appliance but sometimes it still causes internal damage to the air conditioner.

3.5 PV Connection

Before connecting to PV modules, please install a separate DC circuit breaker between the inverter and PV modules. It is very important for system safety and efficient operation to use appropriate cable for PV module connection. To reduce the risk of injury, please use the proper recommended cable size as below.

Model Wire Size Cablel (mm2)
5/6/8/12 Kw 12 AWG 4
Chart 3-4 Cable size

To avoid any malfunction, do not connect any PV modules with possible current leakage to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage to the inverter. When using PV modules, please ensure the PV+ & PVof solar panel is not connected to the system ground bar.

It is requested to use the Pv junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, it will cause damage to the inverter when lightning occurs on PV modules.

3.5.1 PV Module Selection:

When selecting proper PV modules, please be sure to consider below parameters:

  1. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules does not exceed the max. PV array open circuit voltage of the inverter.
  2. Open circuit Voltage (Voc) of PV modules should be higher than min. start voltage.
  3. The PV modules used to connect to this inverter shall be Class A rating certified according to IEC 61730.

Warning:
Sunlight shines on the panel will generate voltage, high voltage in series may cause danger to life. Therefore, before connecting the DC input line, the solar panel needs to be blocked by the opaque material and the DC switch should be ‘OFF’, otherwise, the high voltage of the inverter may lead to life-threatening conditions.

Warning:
Please use its own DC power connector from the inverter accessories. Do not interconnect the connectors of different manufacturers.Max. DC input current should be 20A. if exceeds, it may damage the inverter and it is not covered by Deye warranty.
