2.4 Product Description

The SOLIVIA TL inverters are 3 phase grid-tied solar inverters with reactive power control. These
devices convert direct current (DC) electricity from photovoltaic power collected from PV arrays
into 3 phase alternating current (AC) to feed the excess capacity back to the local mains electri-
cal grid. Using cutting-edge technology allows a wide voltage input range (250~1000 V) and high
performance efficiency based on a user-friendly operation design. In addition, special DSP (Digital
Signal Processor) design decreases the circuit complication and electronic components. Please
note that this device does not support off-grid function. The following are the key features of
SOLIVIA TL series 3 phase grid-tied solar inverters.

Wiring the Inverter

6. Wiring the Inverter

6.1 Preparation before Wiring

1. To avoid accidents, please confirm that the PV inverter’s power of both DC and AC are
switched off.
2. Please confirm whether the input/output of PV inverter’s wiring are clearly indicated. Make
sure that the value, polarity, voltage and phase are correct.
3. The wiring procedure of a PV system is shown in figure 6-1 and 6-2. Wiring details are de-
scribed in the following paragraphs.
– When the DC input is floating, an external transformer is not necessary. Please refer
to Figure 6-1 for the connection. The inverter can accept DC inputs in parallel (1 MPP
tracker) or separate DC input connections (2 MPP Trackers).
– When an asymmetrical DC load is detected, the solar inverter will automatically adjust
for optimum output. Please see section 6.3.1 for more details. This is useful where
there are two strings of modules on roof surfaces with different orientations, such as in
the case of a dormer with north & south facing surfaces.

CaUTIOn
Machine and equipment damage may occur.
► When the DC input is a positive ground or negative ground, all of the
strings must be connected in parallel and then connected to the invert-
ers. In addition, an external isolation transformer must be installed on
the AC side, otherwise, damage will result and the inverter will not work
properly. Different DC input wiring needs require different insulation
detection settings. To learn more about the settings, please refer to
„7.3.6.2 Install Settings“.

6.2.1.1 residual Current Devices

The SOLIVIA TL Soalr Inverters are not capable of feeding in DC residual currents due to their
design. They fulfill this requirement in accordance with DIN VDE 0100-712.
The possibilities of faults were examined without taking the integrated residual-current monitoring
unit (RCMU) into account. When examining these faults in terms of the current valid installation
standards, no danger in combination with a type A upstream residual-current device can occur.
Therefore faults that would otherwise require the use of a type B residual-current device due to
the inverter can be excluded.
The integrated all-pole sensitive residual-current monitoring unit (RCMU) results in additional
safety. For all above mentioned transformerless inverters from Delta RCDs of the type A can be
used.

6.2.4 aC Wiring Considerations

The connection to the Amphenol AC connector for all models can be made with a flexible or
rigid cable with a copper conductor that has the appropriate cross section according to table 6.1
and which has an installation condition that gives a correction factor equal to one. The AC cable
should be protected by a minimum type B 40 Amp breaker and minimum type B 60 Amp breaker
for 30 TL.
This connector is developed for connection to copper wires (for other applications please contact
Amphenol). The cross section of the cable should be calculated by considering the material used,
thermal conditions, length of the cable, the type of installation, and AC voltage drop.
Please note the cable length and the cable cross-section, due to the risk of undesirable tempera-
ture rise and power losses. In some countries, (e.g. France, Germany, Australia) system installa-
tion requirements have to be followed (UTE 15712-1, VDE 0100 712, AS/NZS 5033:2005). This
recommendation will define minimum cable sections and protections against overheating due to
high currents. Please make sure that you follow specific requirements in your country.
For the security of your installation and for the safety of the user, please install required safety and
protection devices that are applicable for your installation environment (example: automatic circuit
breaker and/or overcurrent protection equipment).

WarnInG
Death and serious injury may occur
In the case of damage or bodily harm resulting from the use of this device
in a way contrary to it’s intended purpose or as a result of unauthorized
modifications made to the parameters of the inverter, Delta will not be held
liable in these situations..

The solar inverter must be grounded via the AC connector’s PE conductor. To do this, connect the
PE conductor to the designated terminal.
The AC connector is protected from unintentional disconnection by a clip mechanism which can
be released with a screwdriver.
The aC voltage should be as follows:
● L1-N: 230 VAC
● L2-N: 230 VAC
● L3-N: 230 VAC

6.3 DC Connection (from PV array)

Curve a (in blue on Figure 7.31)


A is identified from Plock-out = value from local grid operator and cosφ = 1
B is identified from Plock-in = value from local grid operator and cosφ = 1
C is identified from P = Pn and cos = cosφmax

Curve B (in red on Figure 7.31)


A is identified from Plock-out = P = value from local grid operator and cosφ = 1
B is identified from Plock-in = value from local grid operator and cosφ = 1
C is identified from P = Pn and cos = cosφmax

Important:
When Plock-out = Plock-in then Curve B will be followed.
When Plock-out is ≠ Plock-in then Curve A will be followed.

7.3.6.5 reactive Power Control for Slovenia (SOnDO) for 15 / 20 / 30 TL

When selecting Slovenia from the Country setting list on initial start up, it is possible to adjust
reactive power parameters for Q(V) according to two curves, class B and class C. The Slovenian
requirements are known as SONDO or SOIEDN (System operation instructions for electricity
distribution network). Q(V) is the reactive power ratio Q/Sn in dependency of the voltage V.

CaUTIOn
Machine and equipment damage may occur.
► Please only adjust these reactive power settings if you are a qualified
electrical technician with the knowledge to do so
► Adjustments may affect energy production
► Some values entered in the Reactive Power settings must come from
the local grid operator. Please check with them before making any
adjustments

nOTe
The inverter is only able to feed-in reactive power in Class B or Class C set-
tings when the Power output is greater than 5% of Pn.

8.2 replace a Fan assembly

If one of the fans has failed it is necessary to order a new fan assembly and replace it. User
should remove the fan bracket with faulty fan as shown in figure 8.1. Four thumb screws (circled
below) attach the fan bracket to the inverter. Loosen the 4 thumb screws and pull the fan bracket
from the inverter carefully and then disconnect the four pairs of fan electrical connectors (or single
pair of fan electrical connectors for 6.0 / 8.0 / 10 / 12 TL). Follow the procedure in reverse to install
a new fan assembly. Call the support hotline for assistance in procuring a new replacement fan
assembly. See the part numbers for the fan assemblies in table 8.1.

Note: The fan bracket shown is


for the 15 TL, 20 TL, and 30 TL.
