At most 8 PV strings can be connected to the PVS-8M-HV and at most 16 PV 
strings can be connected to the PVS-16M-HV. If the actual PV string numbers 
are less than the nominal numbers, the terminals can be left unconnected. Seal 
the unconnected terminals with waterproof plug.   

A PV special fuse is set for each string as the upstream protection device of the 
whole PV power generation system. Measure the voltage between the positive 
and negative polarity of each input before inserting the PVS fuse to make sure 
the voltage is within the range of 0 

– 1500Vdc. Make sure no PV module string 

is connected reversely.   

The  monitoring  board  monitors  the  current  of  each  string.  The  monitored 
current value is sent to the PC through RS485.  The PC can judge if a fault is 
occurred to the module through the set value. 

A SPD is quipped inside the PVS to prevent  the transient overvoltage caused 
by lightning. The SPD failure signal can be sent to the PC through the RS485. 

It  must  be  grounded  properly  for  overvoltage  protection.  The  PVS  provides  a 
ground terminal for equipotential connection. 

 

The  PVS  will  stop  operation and  the  PVS  internal  monitoring  unit  will 
also stop operation at night or when the sunlight is insufficient and the 
PV cell therefore cannot reach the minimum power required by the PVS 
for normal operation. 

4.4.2  Water-proof terminals and wirings 

Water-proof terminals of PVS are shown as followings.
