DC WIRING
Check solar array does not exceed inverter’s maximum voltage rating!
If other sources of DC input are required e.g wind turbines, micro hydro
turbines etc, a battery bank or Latronics Turbine Controller (see pg 9) will
be required with the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) disabled
(see pg 13).
The DC input voltage is stated on the PV Edge compliance label and the
technical specifications sheet within this manual. Check that the input
voltage is within the required limits and does not exceed the maximum
limit (see pg 18).
Recommended cable size for the DC Input is 6sqmm with an insulation
rating of 0.6/1KV.
The Inverter is fitted with DC circuit breakers for the positive and
negative DC Input connections.
Ensure the DC breakers are switched OFF when connecting or
disconnecting the DC leads.
The PV Edge inverter is suitable for use with solar arrays that require positive
or negative earthing. Due to the inverter’s galvanic isolation between AC and
DC inputs no additional modifications are required. Simply connect the
positive or negative of the solar array to the system earth.
Observe Polarity.
* The inverter is designed to operate with a 48V solar panel array
(PVE1200) or 96V solar panel array (PVE2500).
* A 48V solar array will have an open circuit panel voltage of about 87Vdc.
* A 96V solar array will have an open circuit panel voltage of about 174Vdc.
