Page 8: Labels And Symbols
— Labels and Symbols The labels on the inverter carry the markings, main technical data and identification of the equipment and manufacturer. The technical data shown in this quick installation guide does not replace that shown on the labels attached to the equipment. -
Page 9: Lifting And Transport
The Communication Identification label (applied on the wiring box) is divided in two separate parts by a dashed line; take the bottom part and apply it on the plant documentation (ABB recommend to create a plant map and apply the Communication Identification label on it). - Page 10 Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the equipment! ABB usually stores and protects individual components by suitable means to make their transport and subsequent handling easier. Nonetheless, as a rule, it is necessary to turn to the experience of specialised staff to take charge of loading and unloading components.
- Page 11 Always consider the center of gravity of the enclosures while lifting. Center of gravity (wiring box) Center of gravity (power module) In case of manual lifting it’s suggested to use a support plan (e.g. a table) to place the equipment during the lifi- ting operation, to allow the change of hands position.

Page 16: Mounting Instruction
— Mounting Instruction The inverter must be corrrectly installed, in a suitable location, to operate properly and safely. Installers must know and understand applicable NEC requirements and any local codes for photovoltaic systems. Installers must know and understand OSHA and other applicable safety requirements, including lockout/tagout procedures. - Page 17 • Use the two M8 screws with flat and spring washers (sup- plied) to fix the pieces of the bracket together. • Position the bracket (03) perfectly level on the support and use it as drilling template. Consider the overall dimensions of the power module (01) and the wiring box (02).
- Page 18 • In case of use of “frame fixing brackets” (see side picture as example) it will be possible to fix the bracket to the frame structure without drilling any additional holes. • Fix the bracket (03) to the support. Assembly the inverter to the bracket •...
- Page 19 • Lift the power module (01) up to the bracket and over the wiring box (02), using the handles (04) or another appropri- ate lifting device. Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the equipment. • Insert the heads of two rear attachment pins (14) (placed on the rear part of the power module) into the slots on the bracket.

- Page 22 • Close the DC surge arrester plate and install the three M5 screws previously removed. • Install the cable duct (54) previously removed to the DC surge arrester plate (21). • Tighten the two side screws (supplied) to torque of 5Nm (3.7 ft-lb), to avoid the tilting of the bottom part of the inverter.
- Page 23 Connection of the AC interface power cables (25) The AC interface power cable (32) (RST phases, PE and MID BULK) are situated into the cable housing on the top side of wiring box (02). • Install the R, S and T phases and MID BULK cable (coming from the wiring box) to the respective AC interface connec- tion point (25) inside the power module, paying attention to the correspondence of the phases with the labels, using the...
- Page 24 Connection of the interface signal connectors The interface signal cables (24) are situated into right side of power module (01) and they are composed by 8 connectors. • Connect all the interface signal cables (24) (push the connec- tor until you hear a locking “click”). All connectors have a different pin-out in order to avoid any connection error.
- Page 25 • Pass the DC interface cables (18) into the same dedicated opening used for the AFD interface cables. • Close the power module cover (50) and open the wiring box cover (07). • Remove the cable sheathing from the DC interface cables (18) and the cable duct (54) from the DC surge arrester plate (21).
- Page 26 — Routing the cable to the inverter 20-30 cm Min. of Cables should be routed in a manner which prevents water from dripping on the DC input connectors (16). straight cable Especially when coming from the top, the DC cables must be routed in order to create a loop: in this way the water that flows on the cables will be drained.
- Page 27 2.0 A ABB declares that the ABB transformerless inverters, in terms of their construction, do not inject continuous earth fault currents and therefore there is no requirement that the differential protection installed downstream of the inverter be type B in accordance with IEC 60755 / A 2.
- Page 28 — Grid output connection (AC side) To avoid risks of electrical shock, all wiring operations must be carried out with the disconnect switch down- stream of the inverter (grid side) opened and applying LOTO procedure on it. Be careful not to change round one of the phases with neutral! Caution! Connect the ground before starting the grid connections.

Page 29: Strings And Input Connection (Dc
— Checking the correct polarity of the strings and Input connection (DC) Do not place objects of any kind on the inverter during operation! Do not touch the heatsink while the inverter is operating!Some parts may be very hot and cause burns. To avoid risks of electrical shock, all wiring operations must be carried out with the DC disconnect switch internal and external (applying LOTO procedures on it) to OFF position and with the external AC disconnect switch to OFF position (applying LOTO procedures on it). - Page 30 • Connect all the strings required by the system, always checking the seal of the connectors. Make sure to connect at least one string per MPPTs to prevent unbalancing between input channels. If any string inputs is not required check that protective caps are installed to the relative unused connectors. This is necessary for the inverter seal and to avoid any damage to the unused connectors which may be used at a later time.

- Page 34 Remote control connection The connection and disconnection of the inverter to and from the grid can be con- trolled through an external control. The function must be enabled via web server user interface. If the remote control function is disabled, the switching on of the inverter is dictated by the presence of the normal parameters that allow the inverter to connect to the grid.
