3.1 Product Overview

The CVT parallel inverter power system is an integrated power system consisting
of between 3 to 63 parallel inverter modules, CVC01 controller module, static switch
module and AC/DC PDU’s.
The inverter module inverts the DC input to high quality AC sine wave output
using high frequency technology. Between 2 and 63 inverter modules may be
connected in parallel to form n+1…n+m redundant system to deliver AC power to a
load and provide a nominal output power rating based on configuration.
In case of system overload or failure the load is switched to an AC bypass line by
the static switch module without power interruption. The switch will return the load to
the system output upon restoration of the AC system output or the overload is
removed.
This system supplies uninterrupted, efficient, quality and reliable AC power and
includes system control, alarms, communications and protection. It is ideally suited for
power equipment such as computer networks, telecommunications, finance, electric
utilities, transportation, military, universities, research institutes as well as many other
applications.

system installation essential for correct system operation.

4.1 Preparation

4.1.1 Site Location

To ensure correct operation, please install system in an environmentally controlled
location. To avoid system over temperature please ensure unobstructed smooth airflow
for cooling and allow service access at the rear of the enclosures.
The equipment is best located as follows,

 As near as practicable to the power sources and loads for ease of cabling
 In a clean and dust free environment
 At altitude of not more than 1000m
 Preferably at a temperature of 20C. Note that the maximum system operating
environment is between -5 to 50C with relative humidity not more than 90%.
 Away from corrosive, explosive and/or destructive gas and conductive dust
 Away from any heat source
8
  In a vibration free location and with a vertical tilt of not more than 5%

Warning

A controlled temperature environment and clear airflow are very important for
system operation particularly during any overload conditions.

4.1.2 Tools Required

Various tools are essential for product installation, a guide;

 Head screwdrivers: 5, 7 and 10mm

 Slot head screwdrivers: 5, 7 and 10mm
 Wrenches: 6, 8mm and 14mm
 Pliers: 150mm
 Pincers
 Digital multi-meter
 wire cutter and stripper
 Crimping tool, large gauge wire
 Scissors

4.1.3 Cable Selection

The required cable size needs to be calculated according to the input/output
current and the current capability of the local electric power system.

The formula is shown below:

DC Current Max = VA ×0.8 ÷ 0.90 ÷ Minimum input DC voltage

AC Current Max = VA ÷AC voltage

 In the case of copper core cable we recommend a current density of 5A/ mm2
for AC and 2.5A/ mm2 for DC cable.
 The maximum cable thickness required is relative to cable length especially
with high DC currents. If the inverter is located far from the DC power the
cable thickness must be increased. A maximum voltage drop from DC source
to system input of not more that 1Vdc is recommended.
 Maximum ambient temperature must also be taken into consideration. If the
ambient temperature is high then the cable size must be increased

Caution

1. The upper limit of output current can be set according to total amount of
inverters connected in parallel. Caution: When actual output current exceeds
the upper limit value the system will be switched to AC bypass. Only when the
current is lower than 85% of output current will the system switch to inverter.

2. The definition of lower limit of battery voltage is: If DC input voltage (sensed
via the controller) is lower than the lower limit setting of battery voltage then
the inverter will be shut down. If DC input voltage recovers and rises up to the
value, the inverter will restart.
3. The old alarms will be displayed in alarm history. The first alarm after title is
the last alarm in system. A maximum of 500 alarms is stored in alarm history.
If there are more than 500 alarms the first alarms will be dropped.
4. If short circuit occurs in inverter mode, the system won’t be switched to AC
bypass. When the short circuit is removed, the system will be recovered.
5. The system is designed to have different audible alarms for different alarms.
Mains failure: A short tone will sound every 3 seconds.
System overload:A short tone will sound every 1 second.
DC under voltage: A short tone will sound every 1 second. (The sound will
alarm before 2 volts difference, for example, we set the
voltage to 44V, but the sound will alarm when DC
voltage decrease to 46V)
System failure: A long tone will sound.
6. All audible alarms can be set to mute in menu until new audible alarm occurs.
7. When the system is overloaded, it will transfer to the bypass line after 10
minutes
8. Refer to overload point setting in N+M redundant system, which is essential to
system reliability. The following formula is provided for reference.
I limit=N × k × I rated
I limit: Overload point in parallel redundant system
I rated: Rated output current for parallel inverter
N: (N+M) total amount of inverters designed to work in parallel
redundant system
M: (N+M) total amount of redundant inverters designed to work in
parallel redundant system
K: Parallel redundant coefficient, K equals 0.9.
