Photovoltaic Inverter Operation Instructions

What is the Aurora photovoltaic inverter installation and operator's manual?

Installation and Operator’s Manual Page 10 of 108 (PVI-3.0/3.6/4.2-OUTD-x-US Rev: 2.1) FOREWORD This document contains a technical description of the Aurora Photovoltaic Inverter which provides the installer and user with the information required for its installation, operation, and use.

What is a PV inverter manual?

The inverter is grid-connected, transformer-less, robust and of high conversion efficiency. This manual contains information about the inverter, which will provide guidelines on connecting the inverter into the PV power system and how to operate the inverter. The manual cannot include all information about the PV system.

How do I connect my inverter to a photovoltaic panel?

The electrical power and signals wiring from the inverter to the AC Grid and to the photovoltaic panel are connected through the Switch Box as described in Fig.11 SB-01 – "DC Switch Box Layout" –using the access windows in pos “A” for the power cables and the windows in pos “D” for the signal cables.

How many inverters can a photovoltaic system handle?

The AURORA is capable of handling 2 separate arrays. If the output of photovoltaic system exceeds the capacity of a single inverter, additional Aurora inverters can be added to the system; each inverter will be connected to an adequate section of the photovoltaic field on the DC side and to the grid on the AC side.

How does a photovoltaic inverter work?

After completing a set of electronics and safety auto-test routines, the inverter starts the grid connection process. As mentioned above, during this stage Aurora automatically tracks and analyzes the maximum power point (MPPT) of the photovoltaic field. Aurora indicates that insulation resistance was found to be too low.

How do I start the inverter?

Installation and operating manual Page 43 of 95 (PVI-3.8/4.6-I-OUTD Rev.: 1.5) Start-up using the side button If DC voltage is not present but the AC grid is properly connected and you wish to start the inverter, press the side button shown in Fig. 18 for more than 2 seconds.
