Wiring the KP100L to the Solar Modules
z
First make sure the maximum open circuit voltage Voc of each PV string is below 850 VDC under
any condition.
z
Always connect solar module positive (+) terminal to KP100L DC positive (+) terminal, and the solar
module negative (-) terminal to KP100L DC negative (-) terminal.
z
KP100L has 3 MPPT. Usually solar modules are connected to 3 DC terminals as illustrated in figure
below. Mount the enclosed MC caps onto MC connector that is not used. Each set of DC terminals
takes a maximum DC input of 13A. 3 pairs of DC terminals can take a combined input of up to 33A.
Maximum PV input power for each tracking is 5,500W.
z
One PV-panel can be connected to 3 DC input as illustrated in figure below. To fully optimize the PV
output set-up, use the following configuration guidelines:
(a) For PV output
≤
13A, use a single pair of DC terminals.
(b) For 13A
≤
PV output
≤
26A, use 2 sets of DC terminals.
(c) For 26A
≤
PV output
≤
33A, use 3 sets of DC terminals.
Be especially careful about electric shocks during the daytime, because that is when the solar modules
are in the power generating mode. Confirm the polarity of the cable from the solar modules to ensure
correct connection and make sure that there is no slackness of MC connectors.
For the DC terminal of the KP100L, use the standard MC4 connectors. Model type of connectors is
shown below. If you use MC3 series in the solar module, refer to these conversion cable.
