Before starting installation, download the product manual from www.abb.
com/solarinverters. Choose the correct country, string inverters, three phase,
choose the product and proceed to the “download” section.
Read and follow all safety and installation instructions to avoid disabling any
safety features or making the warranty invalid.
The inverter model must be chosen by a specialized technician who has a good knowledge of the installation conditions, the devices that will be installed
externally to the inverter, and whether it will eventually be integrated into an existing system.
The 50kW TRIO module is the same for all inverters, however different AC and DC wiring boxes will have been ordered depending on the site design:
- DC wiring box models: DCWB-1; DCWB-2(12 inputs); DCWB-2(16 inputs).
- AC wiring box models: ACWB Standard; ACWB-A; ACWB-B;
The main features of each wiring box are described at section 15 of this document.

Installation site and position
-
Consult technical data to confirm the environmental specifications will be met
-Installation of the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight is acceptable.
-Do not install in closed spaces where air does not freely circulate
-
Always ensure that the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked, so as to prevent overheating.
-
Do not install the equipment near flammable substances (minimum distance: 10 ft).
-
Do not install the equipment on wooden walls or other flammable substances.
- Do not install in rooms inhabited or where the prolonged presence of people or animals is expected, because
of the inverter’s noise level during operation. The sounds level is heavily influenced by its location (for
example, the surface around the inverter, the environment, etc.) and grid quality.
-Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing weight
- Install vertically or horizontally (i.e. with the inverter on its back), with a maximum inclination as indicated
in the figure
- Maintain minimum clearance from objects blocking air circulation and spacing between inverter as
indicated in the figures
-
Ensure sufficient working area in front of the inverter for wiring box access
- If possible, install at eye-level so that the LEDs can be easily seen
- Install at a height that takes account of the weight of the equipment
- Position multiple inverters side-by-side, maintaining minimum clearances (measured from the outermost
edge of the inverter)
- Multiple inverters can also be placed in a staggered arrangement. Minimum clearances for staggered
arrangements include width of inverter plus additional allowances for inverters arranged above or below
-All installatioins over 6500’ (2,000 meters) must be assessed by ABB Technical Sales to determine the
proper datasheet derating
Do not block access to the external AC and DC disconnects.
Please refer to the warranty terms and conditions and avoid voiding the warranty with improper
installation.

Mounting on a vertical wall
1. The bracket
01
is supplied in two separate parts, assemble them using the four
M5x14 countersunk screws.
(FIG. 1)
2. Position the bracket
01
perfectly level on the wall and use it as a drilling
template.
(FIG. 1)
3. It is the installer’s responsibility to choose an appropriate number and and
distribution of attachment points. The choice must be based on the type of
wall, frame or other support, the type of anchors to be used, and their ability
to support 4 times the inverter’s weight (4 x 260 lbs=1040 lbs for all models).
Attach the bracket to the wall with at least 10 attachment srews. Depending
on the type of anchor chosen, drill the required 10 holes
A
to mount the
bracket. Put at least four srews in the upper side and at least four in the lower
side, with the remainder (up to 20 total) in either location.
(FIG. 1)
4. Attach the bracket to the wall or frame
(FIG. 1)
5.
Install spacers
24
in the two lower rear attachment pins
27
of the conver-
sion module. This will prevent backwards tilt when the conversion module
is hung on the bracket.
(FIG. 2)
6.
Lift the power module up to the bracket using the (optional) handles
06
or the
(optional) M12 eyebolts, or another appropriate lifting device.
(FIG. 2)
7. Side the heads of two upper rear attachment pins
27
into the slots on
the bracket and confirm that the slots
on the bracket are aligned with
the line on the sides of the conversion module; this indicates that they
have been correctly positioned.
(FIG. 2)
8. Remove handle or eye bolts (if used)
9. Remove the quick disconnect connector covers as follows :
- Pull the aluminum locking bracket outwards
A
(FIG. 3)
- Pull off the quick disconnect cover
B
(FIG. 3)
- Save both parts. They will be needed in a later step.
10.
Set the wiring box disconnect switches to “0”.
11.
Unscrew the 8 screws holding the front covers
08
of the DC wiring
box
02
and AC wiring box
05
in place.
12. Open the key locks and remove the covers of each wiring box.
(FIG. 4)
13.
Install spacers
24
in the lower rear attachment pin
27
of each wiring box. This
will prevent backwards tilt when the wiring box is hung on the bracket.
(FIG. 4)
14.
Remove the quick disconnect connector covers from both wiring boxes
(See step 9 of this procedure)
(FIG. 4)
. Caps should be kept in the
special slot within each wiring box. Proceed as follows:
-
A
couple a connector cap of the power module (in green in the figure)
with one from the wiring box (in blue in the figure).
-
B
Insert the plastic locking bracket used to block the wiring box cap
on the coupled connectors.
-
C
Insert the two connectors locked by the fork in the dedicated space within
each wiring box
D
. Repeat the same operation for the other wiring box.
Do not use aluminum locking bracket to clamp the caps. (FIG. 5)
