inverter is shown in Figure 2-2.
The input of PV modules passes through surge protection circuitry, DC
EMI wave filter, and the front-end boost circuitry to achieve maximum power
tracking and boost up voltages. The output of the inverter converts the DC
voltage to 3-phase AC voltage. The high frequency AC components are
removed with a wave filter. Then the 3-phase AC voltage is passed through
two-stage relays and EMI wave filter to produce high quality AC power.

2) DC fuse selection
Customers must verify that the appropriate fuses are used depending on
the actual configuration PV strings.
1） Each independent string of DC input from the PV strings needs fuse
protection.
2） The rated voltage of fuse should be higher than the Max. Voc of each
PV string.
3） In order to keep the output power normal, the rated current of fuse is
generally larger than the 1.5 × Max. output current from the PV strings.
4） In order to protect the PV strings, the rated current of fuse should NOT
be larger than the sum of the Isc of any two of the PV strings. Make
sure the rated current of fuse is as small as possible on the condition
of normal output power.
The following table lists the recommended fuse type, specifications and
number under the rated voltage and power range of 8 strings of PV panels.
CPS SCA20/25/30/36KTL-DO inverters are equipped with typical 15A DC
fuses.

WARNING:
DC fuses should be replaced by qualified personnel for safety
reasons. Make sure the inverter is isolated from both the DC
and AC sources and check to ensure the hazardous high
voltage has been fully discharged before operating on the
inverter.
3) DC cable connection
To ensure the optimum performance of the inverter, please read the
following guidelines before DC connection:
(a) Confirm the DC configuration referring to Table 3-5 and ensure that the
maximum open circuit voltage of the PV modules is lower than 1000
Vdc under any conditions;
(b) Confirm that the PV strings for each MPPT of the inverter are of the
same type and specification before connection. The number,
orientation, and tilt of PV strings may differ for different applications.
(c) Check the polarity (Figure 3-22) before plugging the DC connectors
with the cables of PV strings according to the following steps:
i. Use a multi-meter to measure the PV strings’ cable ends and check the
polarity.
ii. The positive (+) terminal of cable should match the positive (+) terminal
of inverter’s DC input.
iii. The negative (-) terminal of cable should match the negative (-)
terminal of inverter’s DC input.
NOTICE:
It is important to use a multi-meter to check the polarity of DC input
cables to avoid any risk of reverse polarity.
32
Figure 3-22 Polarity check
(d) Put the positive (negative) DC cable through the gland and cable
fastener, and then crimp the cable with the cord end terminals shown in
Table 3-6.

Chapter 6 Operation
6.1 Start-up
Manual start-up: Manual start-up is required after regulation setting or
manual (fault) shut-down. Move the cursor from the main operation interface
to “4 Setting”. Press ENT and go to submenu “1 ON/OFF”. Then move the
cursor to “ON” and press ENT to start the inverter. Then the inverter will start up
and operate normally if the start-up condition is met. Otherwise, the inverter
stands by.
Automatic start-up: The inverter will start up automatically when the
output voltage and power of PV arrays meet the set value, AC power grid is
normal, and the ambient temperature is within allowable operating range.
6.2 Shut-down
Manual shutdown: Normally, it is not necessary to shutdown the inverter,
but it can be shut down manually if regulation setting or maintenance is
required.
Move the cursor from the main operation interface to “4 Setting”. Press
ENT and go to submenu “1 ON/OFF”. Move the cursor to “OFF” and press ENT,
and then the inverter will be shut down.
Automatic shutdown: The inverter will be shut down automatically when
the output voltage and power of PV modules are lower than the set value, or AC
power grid fails; or the ambient temperature exceeds the normal range.
6.3 Operation mode

There are 4 operation modes. The following are corresponding indications
for each mode.
(1) System check mode for start up, as shown in Figure 6-1:
87
Figure 6-1 System self check ongoing
This mode indicates that the inverter is checking whether it is ready for
normal operation after the manual start-up of inverter.
(2) Normal operation mode: Default indication interface for normal operation is
shown in Figure 6-2 (a) and 6-2 (b). The switching time between (a) and (b) is 5
seconds.

Figure 6-2 Default indication interface for normal operation
In this mode, the inverter converts the power generated by PV modules to

AC continuously and feeds into the power grid.
(3) Standby mode, as shown in Figure 6-3:
The inverter will enter standby mode when the output voltage and power of
PV modules do not meet the startup conditions or PV voltage and input power
are lower than the set value. The inverter will check automatically whether it
meets the startup conditions in this mode until it turns back to normal mode.
The inverter will switch from standby mode to fault mode if a malfunction
occurs.
88
Figure 6-3 Inverter system in standby mode
(4) Fault mode, as shown in Figure 6-4:

The inverter will disconnect from the power grid and turn into fault mode
when the inverter or power grid fails. Check the specific cause in
“Troubleshooting table” (Table 7-2) according to the fault message displayed on
the LCD and eliminate the fault referring to the instructions.
Figure 6-4 Fault indication interface
WARNING:
All the installation and wiring connections should be performed by
qualified technical personnel. Disconnect the inverter from PV
modules and the AC supply before undertaking maintenance.
disconnecting all sources of DC and AC.
6.4 Grid-tied power generation
CPS SCA20/25/30/36KTL-DO series inverter has an automatic grid-tied
power generation process. It will check constantly whether AC power grid
meets the conditions for grid-tied power generation, and also test whether the
89
PV array has adequate energy. After all conditions are met, the inverter will
enter grid-tied power generation mode. While in grid-tied power generation, the
inverter can detect the power grid at all times, and also keep the photovoltaic
array output in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode. In case of any
abnormity, the inverter will enter the protection program immediately. In low
light conditions when power generation is not enough to keep the inverter in
operation, the inverter will enter standby mode. When the voltage of PV array
changes and becomes stable and higher than the required set value, the
inverter will attempt to start grid-tied power generation again.
