Does the Y&H 6.2KW Hybrid Solar Inverter require a CT transformer for hybrid operation?

Based on the provided manual for the Y&H 6.2KW Hybrid Solar Inverter, there is no mention of a Current Transformer (CT) requirement for standard hybrid operation. The inverter manages power flow between PV, Battery, and Grid using its internal MPPT controller and integrated charging/output modes.Key details regarding its operation include:Internal Management: The unit features a built-in 120A MPPT solar charge controller and supports four charging modes (Utility First, Solar First, Solar and Utility, Battery and Solar) and three output modes (PV Priority, Utility Priority, SBU Priority) configurable via the LCD.Communication Ports: The back panel includes ports for BMS, WiFi, RS485, and RS232, but does not specify a dedicated CT port for external grid monitoring or zero-export limiting, which is where a CT is typically used in other hybrid systems.On-Grid/Off-Grid: While it is described as an On/Off Grid hybrid inverter, it functions primarily as a multi-functional inverter/charger. If you are looking for "Zero Export" functionality to prevent feeding power back into the grid, you should verify with Y&H support if this specific model supports an external meter or CT via the RS485 port, as it is not explicitly detailed in the standard setup guide.Note: The manual specifically warns not to connect the AC output to an economical transformer, as it may damage the device.
