2.1 Product identification

This equipment is a multi-string inverter designed to: transform a direct electric current (DC) 
coming from a photovoltaic generator (PV) into an alternating electric current (AC) Suitable 
for being fed into the national grid.

The inverter can be used only with photovoltaic modules that do not require one of the poles 
to be grounded. 
The  operating  current  during  normal  operation  must  not  exceed  the  limits  specified  in  the 
technical specifications. 
Only  the  photovoltaic  generator  can  be  connected  to  the  input  of  the  inverter  (do  not 
connect batteries or other sources of power supply) 

Sofar  30~40KTL
configurations

For the TT  type of  electricity grid

the voltage between neutral and earth 

should be less than 30V.

  inverters  are  compatible  with  TN-S
