2.3 Circuit structure design

2.3.1 Schematic Diagram and Circuit Design

The basic elctrical schematic diagram of CPS SCA50/60KTL-DO inverters are


shown in Figure 2-5.
The input from PV source circuits passes through surge protection circuitry, DC
EMI wave filter, and the DC-DC front-end boost circuitry to achieve maximum
power tracking and boost the voltages to a commond DC bus.
The output of the inverter converts the DC voltage to 3-phase AC voltage. Any
high frequency AC component is removed with a wave filter.
The 3-phase AC voltage is then passed through a two-stage relay and EMI wave
filter to produce high quality AC power. Integrated string current detecting (optional)
and Arc fault detecting (standard).

ARC Detect

ARC Clear

Figure 5-18 Control Command menu


1 “Restart” menu: If a fault shutdown happens, a severe fault may have occurred
inside the inverter. The user can perform a force reboot for one time in this menu if
the user needs to restart the inverter.

INSTRUCTION:
This function is effective only when the faults “IntFault0010~0150” in the
troubleshooting table occur. The inverter may restore to normal operation
automatically if alarm or protection faults occur. This function will not
respond when the inverter is in operation mode and a “FaultOperated” alarm
interface will be indicated.

2 “Factory Default” menu: The manufacturer’s parameter default values can be


restored when the inverter is not in operation mode. Otherwise “Fault Operated” will
be reported.
3 “MPPT Scan” menu: “MPPTScan” is used to execute the MPPT scanning
manually. Move the cursor to this item, and press the ENT key to initiate the
55
scanning. The LCD screen will skip to normal operation interface if the MPPT
scanning succeeds, or remain on the “MPPTScan menu” interface if the scanning
fails.
MPPT scan function is used for multi-MPP tracking, and is useful if the PV
panels are partly shadowed or installed with different angles. The factory setting of
MPPT scan is <Enabled, yet can also be set to Disabled. When the MPPT scan
function is enabled, the scan period is 60 minutes. The inverter will scan the
maximum power point in the MPPT range, according to the following conditions:
1) While in parallel mode, the total input power is lower than 90% of the active
power.
2) While in independent mode, each input power is lower than 75% of the rating
power of each MPPT tracker.
Once this MPPT scan function is activated on LCD, it will search the maximum
power point at a voltage step of 5V in the MPPT range for full load, and retreive the
maximum power point.
4. “ARC Detect” In the “Parameters Setting””Control Pommand” menu, execute
the “ARC Detect”, the inverter will stop working and test ARC.
Arcing check and protection is mainly divided into two parts, the Arcing check
board is responsible for whether there is Arcing in line, and transfer Arcing protection
signal to the DSP in the dominating control board.
The control board DSP is responsible for the control of inverter off the grid after
receiving Arcing signal to ensure safety.
The Arcing board failure will cause ‘arc board err’ shown on the LCD and it will
not connect to the grid until the arc board is OK. If there is Arcing fault, the LCD
displays the fault which can only be cleared manually.
5. “ARC Clear” is used to clear the ARC fault. Move the cursor to this menu, and
press ENT. The operation result will appear on the LCD, ie. “Succeed” or “Failed”.

6.2 Product Maintenance

DANGER:
Please disconnect the inverter from AC grid and PV modules before
opening the equipment. Make sure hazardous high voltage and energy
inside the equipment has been discharged.
Do not operate or maintain the inverter until at least 5 minutes after
disconnecting all sources of DC and AC.

6.2.1 Check Electrical Connections

Check all the cable connections as a regular maintenance inspection every 6


months or once a year.
1.) Check the cable connections. If loose, please tighten all the cables referring to
“3.3 Electrical installation”.
2.) Check for cable damage, especially whether the cable surface is scratched or
smooth. Repair or replace the cables if necessary.

6.2.2 Clean the Air Vent Filter

The inverter can become hot during normal operation. It uses built in cooling
fans to provide sufficient air flow to help in heat dissipation.
Check the air vent regularly to make sure it is not blocked and clean the vent
with soft brush or vacuum cleaner if necessary.

84
6.2.3 Replace cooling fans

If the internal temperature of the inverter is too high or abnormal noise is heard
assuming the air vent is not blocked and is clean, it may be necessary to replace the
external fans. Please refer to Figure 6-1 for replacing the cooling fans.
1. Use a No.2 Phillips head screwdriver to take off the 12 screws on the fan tray.
2. Disconnect the waterproof cable connector from the cooling fan.
3 . Use a No.2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws.
4 . Attached the new cooling fans on the fan tray, and fasten the cable on the fan tray
with cable ties(Torque value: 14~18kgf.cm).
5 . Install the assembled fans back to the inverter(Torque value: 16kgf.cm).
