DRM ("AU"/"NZ")
The DRM function is only applicable to a single inverter.
The inverter provides terminals for connecting to a demand response enabling device (-
DRED). After the connection, the DRED asserts demand response modes (DRMs). The
inverter detects and initiates a response to all supported demand response modes listed
in the following table.
Table 2-2 Demand Response Mode Explanation
Mode Explanation
DRM0 The inverter is in the state of standby.
PID Recovery
• For positive voltage scheme, after the PID function is enabled, the voltage to ground
of all PV strings is greater than 0, and therefore the PV string-to-ground voltage is a
positive value.
• For negative voltage scheme, after the PID function is enabled, the voltage to ground
of all PV strings is lower than 0, and therefore the PV string-to-ground voltage is a
negative value.
10
• Before enabling the PID recovery function, make sure the voltage polarity of
the PV modules to ground meets requirement. If there are any questions,
contact the PV module manufacturer or read its corresponding user manual.
• If the voltage scheme for the PID recovery function does not meet the
requirement of corresponding PV modules, the PID function will not work as
expected or even damage the PV modules.
When the inverter is not running, the PID module will apply inverse voltage to PV
modules, to restore the degraded modules.
• If the PID recovery function is enabled, it only works at night.
• After the PID recovery function is enabled, the voltage of the PV strings to
ground is 500 V DC by default, and the default value can be modified
through the App.

Residual Current Monitoring Device

With an integrated universal current-sensitive residual current monitoring unit included,
the inverter will disconnect immediately from the mains power once a fault current with
a value exceeding the limit is detected.
However if an external residual current device (RCD) is mandatory, the switch must be
triggered at a residual current of 300 mA (recommended), or it can be set to other
values according to local regulations. For example in Australia, the inverter can use an
additional 30 mA (type A) RCD in installations.

5.6 DC Cable Connection
Danger of electric shock!

The PV array will generate lethal high voltage once exposed to sunlight.
Make sure the PV array is well insulated to ground before connecting it to the
inverter.
Risk of inverter damage! Observe the following requirements. Failure to do so

will void guarantee and warranty claims.
• Make sure the maximum DC voltage and the maximum short circuit current
of any string never exceed inverter permitted values specified in "Technical
Data".
• Mixed use of different brand or model of PV modules in a PV string or a

compromised PV string design composed with PV modules from rooftoops
of different orientation may not damage inverter but will cause system bad
performance!
• The inverter enters standby state when the input voltage ranges between
1,000 V and 1,100 V. The inverter returns to running state once the voltage
returns to the MPPT operating voltage range, namely, 160 V to 1,000 V.
33
5.6.1 PV Input Configuration

• The inverters SG3.0RT/SG4.0RT/SG5.0RT/SG6.0RT have two PV inputs, SG7.0RT/
SG8.0RT/SG10RT/SG12RT have three PV inputs and SG15RT/SG17RT/SG20 have
four PV inputs.
• The inverters have two MPP trackers. Each DC input area can operate independently.
• The PV strings to the same DC input area should have the same type, the same
number of PV panels, identical tilt and identical orientation for maximum power.
• The PV strings to two DC input areas may differ from each other, including PV
module type, number of PV modules in each string, angle of tilt, and installation
orientation.
F i g u r e 5 - 3 PV Input Configuration (SG20RT for example)
Prior to connecting the inverter to PV inputs, the specifications in the following table
should be met:
Inverter Model Open-circuit Voltage Limit Max. current for input connector
All models 1100 V 30 A
The following figure shows the open-circuit voltage limits at different altitudes. Before
configuring the PV panels, need to take this derating curve in consideration under high
altitude situation.
34
F i g u r e 5 - 4 Open-circuit Voltage Derating Curve
5.6.2 Assembling the PV Connectors
High voltage may be present in the inverter!
• Ensure all cables are voltage-free before performing electrical operations.
• Do not connect the AC circuit breaker before finishing electrical connection.
• Use MC4 DC terminals if the maximum input voltage is no more than 1,000 V.
• Use MC4-Evo2 DC terminals if the maximum input voltage is greater than

1,000 V. To purchase the MC4-Evo2 DC terminals, contact SUNGROW.
• Select appropriate DC terminals as required above. Otherwise, SUNGROW

shall be held no liability for the damage caused.
SUNGROW provides corresponding PV connectors in the scope of delivery for

quick connection of PV inputs. To ensure IP65 protection, use only the
supplied connector or the connector with the same ingress of protection.
Step 1 Strip 7 mm–8 mm of the insulation from each PV cable.

separately need to be installed on site, please firstly lead the PV cables through the
waterproof terminal on the DC protection cover before assembling the connector. See
the guidance with the DC protection cover for details.
PV cables with connectors cannot go through the waterproof terminal on the

DC protection cover. Rework may cause damage to the connectors, which will
not be covered by the warranty.
Step 4 Lead the cable through cable gland, and insert it into the insulator until it snaps into
place. Gently pull the cable backward to ensure firm connection. Tighten the cable
gland and the insulator (torque 2.5 N.m to 3 N.m).
Step 5 Check for polarity correctness.
The inverter will not function properly if any PV polarity is reversed.
- - End
5.6.3 Installing the PV Connectors

Step 1 Rotate the DC switch to "OFF" position.
36
Step 2 Check the cable connection of the PV string for polarity correctness and ensure that the
open circuit voltage in any case does not exceed the inverter input limit of 1,100 V.
Step 3 Connect the PV connectors to corresponding terminals until there is an audible click.
• Check the positive and negative polarity of the PV strings, and connect the
PV connectors to corresponding terminals only after ensuring polarity
correctness.
• Electric arc or contactor overtemperature may occur if the PV connectors

are not firmly in place, and SUNGROW shall not be held liable for any
damage caused due to this operation.
Step 4 Seal the unused PV terminals with the terminal caps.
