4.4 Installing AC Output Power Cables
1. Remove the sealing nut and rubber liner from the AC OUTPUT cable gland.
2. Route the cable through the cable gland.
NOTICE:
- Select an appropriate rubber fitting based on the outer diameter of the AC power cable to ensure proper sealing.
- To avoid damaging the rubber fitting, do not route a cable with a crimped OT terminal through the rubber fitting.
- Do not adjust the cable when the thread-lock sealing nut is tightened. Otherwise, the rubber fitting will shift, which affects the Ingress Protection Rating of the device.
The diagram shows how to select the correct rubber fitting based on the cable diameter (D).
3. Remove an appropriate length of the jacket and insulation layer from the AC output power cable using a wire stripper. (Ensure that the jacket is in the maintenance compartment.)
a. Three-core cable (excluding the ground cable)
b. Four-core cable (including the ground cable)
4. Crimp an OT terminal.
5. Connect the AC output power cable to the terminal block, and then tighten the nut using a torque wrench that has an extension rod.
NOTICE:
- Ensure that AC terminations provide firm and solid electrical connections. Failing to do so may cause SUN2000 malfunction and damage to its terminal block, even starting thermal events.
- When connecting a PE cable, secure the screws using a socket wrench with an extension wrench longer than 200 mm.
- If the AC output power cables are subject to a pulling force because the inverter is not installed stably, ensure that the last cable that bears the stress is the PE cable.
6. Tighten the thread-lock sealing nut.
7. Clear debris from the maintenance compartment.
4.5 Installing DC Input Power Cables
Selecting DC Input Terminals
NOTE:
- The SUN2000 provides two DC switches, named as DC SWITCH 1 and DC SWITCH 2. DC SWITCH 1 controls the 1st to 6th sets of DC input terminals, whereas DC SWITCH 2 controls the 7th to 12th sets of DC input terminals.
- Select DC input terminals according to the following rules:
- Evenly distribute DC input power cables on the DC input terminals controlled by the two DC switches.
- Maximize the number of connected MPPT circuits.
WARNING: Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.
The diagram shows the DC input terminals numbered 1 to 12, corresponding to MPPT1 through MPPT6.
The connection involves using Amphenol Helios H4 PV connectors. Crimp the metal contacts using H4TC0003 or H4TC0002 crimping tool. Insert the crimped terminals into the appropriate positive and negative connectors. Connect the positive and negative connectors to the DC input terminals. Ensure secure connections by pulling the cables.
NOTICE:
- Use the Amphenol Helios H4 PV connectors provided with the SUN2000. If the terminals are lost or damaged, purchase the PV connectors of the same model. The device damaged caused by incompatible PV connectors is not covered under any warranty or service agreement.
- Before connecting DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable connections. If the cables are connected incorrectly, the SUN2000 may be damaged.
- Crimp the metal contacts using crimping tool H4TC0003 (Amphenol, recommended) or H4TC0002 (Amphenol).
- Insert the crimped metal terminals of the positive and negative power cables into the appropriate positive and negative connectors. Then pull the DC input power cables to ensure that they are connected securely.
- Connect the positive and negative connectors to the appropriate positive and negative DC input terminals. Then pull the DC input power cables to ensure that they are connected securely.
- If polarity of the DC input power cable is reversed and the DC switch is ON, do not turn off the DC switch immediately or unplug positive and negative connectors. The device may be damaged if you do not follow the instruction. The caused equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope. Wait until the solar irradiance declines and the PV string current reduces to below 0.5 A, and then turn off the two DC switches and remove the positive and negative connectors. Correct the string polarity before reconnecting the string to the SUN2000.
Use a multimeter to measure the DC voltage. Ensure that the locking nut is secured.
NOTICE:
- The DC voltage measurement range of the multimeter must be at least 1100 V.
- If the voltage is a negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity.
- If the voltage is greater than 1100 V DC, too many PV modules are configured to the same string. Remove some PV modules.
4.6 Installing the RS485 Communications Cable
