APstorage PCS Introduction ELS series PCS is APtorage's Sea family product and the PCS is a battery Power Conversion System. APsystems PCS, together with a compatible battery ( not offered by APsystems), becomes a complete and independent AC coupling storage solution for residential PV installations. It can be used with any new or already installed PV systems without changing equipment in place. One PCS can be connected up to 20kWh compatible battery (see battery compatibility list). When multiple battery packs are connected, they need to be connected in parallel .(see connection diagram in the Battery User Manual) APstorage will help home-owners to optimize their utility bill, offering full flexibility to manage their Electrical consumption. Several modes are available. (Backup power supply mode, Self-consumption mode and Advanced mode) 2.1 Dimensions 4 APstorage Installation / User Manual 2. APstorage PCS Introduction 2.2 Basic System Architecture A typical APstorage system includes three main elements: APstorage PCS, which is a smart battery Power Conversion System. The PCS includes an integrated ECU (Energy Communication Unit) to ensure monitoring of the overall system once up and running. a compatible Battery pack (see battery compatibility list) Auto-Transformer -T-A Option 1 : PV system working off-grid Off grid function only compatible with APsystems DS3 microinverters (fully compatible), as well as QS1 and YC600 microinverters (firmware update required). Option 2 : PV system not working off-grid Option 3 : mix of option 1 and 2 following the conditions above NOTE: In a Storage System with APstorage PCS, the battery is one of the key components. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the installation environment well ventilated, please refer to Battery user manual. 5 APstorage Installation / User Manual 2. APstorage PCS Introduction 2.3 Back-up Load Configuration L1 or L2 Max continuous current carrying capacity 21A Backup Port Case1. If there is no 240V load, 120V load1 or load2 total Max power 2.5kVA. Case2. If there is 240V load and power is P1, P1 5kVA, 120V load1 or load2 total Max power (5-P1)/2 kVA NOTE: The 120V and 240V load configuration of auto-transformer should meet the below requirements. It is stipulated that the 120V load received by L1N and L2N do not exceed 2.5kW respectively. If there is 240V load, 240V load power needs to be subtracted and distributed equally. For example, 240V load power is P1 then (5kw-P1) / 2 is the remaining 120V power of the assembleable L1N and L2N. The imbalance load cannot exceed the new power distribution. L1N: voltage between L1 and Neutral line L2N: voltage between L2 and Neutral line 6 APstorage Installation / User Manual 2.
