System Introduction

The inverter is a transformerless 3-phase PV grid-connected inverter. As an integral

component in the PV power system, the inverter is designed to convert the direct

current power generated from the PV modules into grid-compatible AC current and to

feed the AC current into the utility grid.

The intended usage of the inverter is illustrated in the following figure.

1 Inverter Application in PV Power System

The inverter must not be connected to a PV string that requires positive or

negative grounding.

Do not connect any local load between the inverter and the AC circuit breaker.
