 General Information

1　General Information
1.1 About this Manual
This manual is to provide the explanation and procedures for installing, operating,
maintaining, and troubleshooting of RPI M50A solar inverters.

1.2 Product Description

This device is a 3-phase grid-tied solar inverter which does not support off-grid
functionality.

The operation of solar inverter is shown as the Figure 1-1. Inverters convert
the DC input power supplied from the PV Array into 3-phase AC output power
to Grid.

WARNING：SHOCK HAZARD!

- Whenever a PV array is exposed to sunlight, a shock hazard may exist due to

output wires or exposed terminals. To reduce the risk of shock during installation,
cover the array with an opaque (dark) material and ensure that the Disconnect
Device in the inverter is set to OFF before commencing any wiring.

4.1 Preparation Before Wiring (Models with Fuses)

• M50A has 15A DC fuse in each Positive and Negative DC connector, the
maximum current of each string should not exceed 10A.

• Parallel connection at external DC distribution box is not recommended due

to the limits of DC fuse. Please refer to Figure 4-1 for the detail wiring illustrations.

• It must to keep DC and AC power off when disconnected the DC connector

even if turn off the manual switch that in the button cover.

• Different DC connections type need different settings of insulation detection.

Please refer to 5.2.7 Install Settings for further information.

ATTENTION : NO GALVANIC ISOLATION

- There is no accessory such as a transformer along with our product and

therefore the product has no galvanic isolation. Please do not connect grounded
Photovoltaic modules to the product. If you connect grounded Photovoltaic
modules to the product, the error message INSULATION (E34) shows up.
- It is prohibited to connect the L1, L2, L3 and N to the ground.

Note for Field Wiring

Due to the limitation of physical wire also the DC connector used in the inverter,
the absolute maximum current of each DC connector should be always observed
as following table to keep fire risk away.
Note that, the following value is provided to identified and checked the justification
for field wiring instead of the DC current rating of inverter.

M50A:
M50A is not suitable to connected with PV combiner box.
-Normally, the output current of combiner box is larger than 16A.

4.2 AC Grid Connection: 3-Phase+PE or 3-Phase+N+PE

WARNING !

- Before commencing AC wiring, please ensure AC breaker is switched off.

4.2.1 Required Protective Devices and Cable Cross-sections

It is recommended to install an upstream circuit breaker between AC side and
inverter side for over current protection.

CAUTION！Machine and equipment damage may occur.

- Make sure to choose proper size for AC cable.
- Failed to follow these instructions may cause AC plug damage.
- AC plug’s installation must meets the local electrical code.
- If there is any conflict between installation instruction and electrical code,
please follow the electrical code.

Before installing the AC Plug, please stripped the jacket of cable by following
procedure.
• Strip the outer jacket from the cable for 95mm.
• Strip the jacket from the internal wire for 22 ± 2mm.

For Cu AC wires:
Delta recommends the AC cables used should be flexible unarmored multi-strand
and with suitable ampacity.

For Al AC wires:
To make sure good conductivity, bi-metal sleeves must be used in conjunction
with aluminum wires. (Shown as Figure 4-4)

Figure 4-4 : Bi-metal sleeves

NOTICE

Extreme temperature rise at the clamping point

If the contact resistance between the aluminum conductor and clamping point is too
high, the clamping point can become very hot and even catch fire in extreme cases.

To ensure a safe and reliable contact, always perform the following work steps:
Use a conductor cross-section at least one number larger due to the lower
current-carrying capacity.
Keep the installation location as free as possible from moisture or corrosive
atmospheres.
Connect the aluminum cables quickly.
Mechanically clean the stripped end of the aluminum conductor (using for instance
a knife blade to scrape off the oxide layer). Then immediately dip the aluminum
conductor into acid-fee and alkaline-free (=neutral) Vaseline and straight away
insert it into the terminal block.
Tighten the clamping screw in the clamping body with the maximum permissible
tightening torque.

Wiring

Settle the AC Plug according to the process from P.25 and P.26. This AC Plug can
accommodate either positive or negative phase of wire. In other words, the sequence
of L1, L2, L3 can be adjusted arbitrarily.
According to the diameter of the cable, choose the combination of rubber ring(D1 or

6　Maintenance
Please check the unit regularly. If there are any impaired or loose parts, please contact
your solar installer. Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the path of the heat outlet.

WARNING !

- Before any maintenance, please switch AC and DC power off to avoid risk
of electronic shock even if manual switching turn off.

6.1 Replace Surge Protection Device (SPD)

RPI M50A_12s model have surge protection device (SPD) at DC and AC
side.

Once the inverter encounters voltage spikes (e.g. struck by lighting), SPD will
protect the inverter and got damaged. If you find a warning message “SPD Fail”
shown on display panel, please follow the steps below to replace the SPD.

1. Switch AC and DC power off and wait until LCD display turn off.
2. Loosen the 6 screws on the front cover. (Figure 6-1)
3. Recognize the connectors. (Figure 6-2)
4. Loosen the 6 screws. (Figure 6-3)
5. Pull out the SPD unit. (Figure 6-4)
6. Replace the SPD unit.
7. Reassemble the inverter. Please be careful the waterproof tape for ensure the
protection degree.
8. Reassemble the inverter. Please follow the sequence in Figure 6-1.

WARNING !

- Reassemble the inverter. Note torque shoud be 10Kgf-cm.

8 De-Commissioning
If it is necessary to put the device out of operation for maintenance and/or storage,
please follow the instructions below.

WARNING !

To avoid injuries, please follow the procedures:

- Switch off Manual Switch to shut down the inverter.
- Switch off AC circuit breaker to disconnect with electricity grid.
- Switch off the PV array switch to disconnect from the PV array.
- Use proper voltmeter to confirm that the AC and DC power are disconnected
from the unit.
- Remove the AC wiring immediately to completely disconnect from electricity grid.
- Remove the DC wiring to disconnect from PV Array.
- Remove the communication module RS-485 connection from the computer
connection.

Appendix

Appendix A: I-V curve limitation

Based on operational safety of the fuse, the configuration of the solar panels maximum
power can not exceed this I-V curve.

If the user uses an external fuse, the user shall ensure that the fuse at 1000Vdc above
fusing characteristics.
