XSTORAGE HOME 3P USER MANUAL

   MN700011EN   December 2020   www.eaton.com

3. Cautions

These instructions are intended for end users.

Before carrying out any operations, make sure to have read and understood this manual. Do not make changes and  

do not carry out maintenance operations not described in this manual. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility 

for injuries to people and damages to things occurred because the information within this manual has not been read and 

followed.

Check the regulations applied by the electricity provider. Check the solar panels manufacturer’s instructions.
Check the batteries manufacturer’s instructions.

The installation must only be carried out only by Eaton certified personnel.

Only high voltage (HV) lithium-ion batteries approved by Eaton can be connected to the xStorage Home 3P system.  

The use of non-approved batteries can affect the correct functioning of the system and relieves Eaton from all liabilities 

and invalidates the guarantee.

It is strictly prohibited to open the xStorage Home 3P system except as listed in this manual. The installation of  

the equipment must not be carried out by personnel who are not certified by Eaton.

For any doubts or problems regarding the use of the system, even if not described here, please contact the Eaton 

certified installer or Eaton sales representative. 
The xStorage Home 3P system must not be subjected to any type of modification. Eaton declines any responsibility  

if the rules for correct installation are not respected and is not responsible for the system upstream or downstream  

of the equipment it supplies.
The exclusion of protective devices is extremely dangerous and relieves the manufacturer of any responsibility  

for damage to people and things.

3.1  Operating environment and restrictions

Each system must be used exclusively for the operations it was designed for and within the operative ranges specified in  

the nameplate and / or in the relative technical datasheet, according to the national and international safety standards.
Any use different from the intended use specified by the manufacturer is to be considered totally inappropriate and dangerous 

and in this case the manufacturer declines all responsibility.

This equipment is an integrated system capable of converting a direct current (DC), coming from a photovoltaic generator and  

a battery, into an alternating current (AC) suitable for use by local loads and / or fed into the public grid.

Operating range limits:

The xStorage Home 3P system can only be used with photovoltaic modules that do not require the earthing of one of the poles. 

xStorage Home 3P can only be used with photovoltaic modules that meet the specific requirements of class A in accordance 

with the indications of the IEC 61730 standard.

Do not connect any other energy source to the inverters in addition to the modules described above. The leakage current during 

normal operation must not exceed the limits specified in the technical characteristics.

A high voltage lithium-ion battery (HV) can be connected to the xStorage Home 3P system at the BAT input, which acts as  

a storage element for the excess energy produced by the photovoltaic generator. The stored energy is then released to the 

system which will make it available, at the time and in the most appropriate way, to local loads in order to fully or drastically 

reduce the drawn of energy from the distribution network.

The xStorage Home 3P system can be connected to the distribution network only in the countries which the system  

is certified for.

The xStorage Home 3P system can be used only respecting all the technical characteristics.
