2. Unit description
2.1. Overview
The basic purpose of an inverter is to convert the direct current generated by the PV array into alternating current
to feed into the electricity grid.
These units are single-phase PV inverters with two maximum power point trackers (MPPT) and a wide range
of input voltages, which provides more alternatives when configuring the PV array and makes asymmetric
configuration possible.
They have been configured with a high performance topology that makes them highly efficient, eliminating stray
currents from the PV array.
As standard the inverter includes communication via USB, an SD card reader for updating the firmware, a
potential-free relay for signaling and two digital inputs.
2.2. Optional accessories
These units may include the following accessories:
•
Communications accessories.
•
Digital input card.
•
Self-consumption kit.
Communication accessories
As standard these units have local communication via USB. In addition there is the option of establishing
connections using other technology types:
•
RS-485.
•
Ethernet (including communication via RS-485, for optional use).
•
Ethernet TCP (including communication via RS-485, for optional use).
•
GSM/GPRS (including communication via RS-485, for optional use).
•
Bluetooth.
•
Bluetooth (including communication via RS-485, for optional use).
The instructions for installing the communications accessories are indicated throughout this manual. For more
information on their functioning, consult the corresponding communication accessories manual.
Digital input cards
In certain countries this card is necessary to comply with their regulations.
Self-consumption kit
These inverters are compatible with all the self-consumption options offered by Ingeteam.
2.3. Electrical safety
The design values for electrical safety can be found below.
2.3.1. Overvoltage category (OVC)
The design of the unit complies with the regulations IEC 62109-1 and IEC 62109-2. The direct current circuits
have been designed with an overvoltage category II (OVC II), and the alternating current circuits with an overvoltage
category III (OVC III).
2.4. Contamination class
The units comply with pollution class 2, as required for this type of inverter.
2.5. Acoustic contamination
The unit produces a slight buzz when in operation. Do not place it in an occupied room, or on light supports which
might amplify this buzz. The mounting surface must be firm and appropriate for the weight of the unit.
