1.3 Product Overview

 Basic information
The Digiwatts inverter is used to convert DC power generated by the PV arrays
into stable AC power for output to the utility grid. The Digiwatts system is a
transformerless inverter and performs this conversion in a very efficient way,
without moving components, using only solid state power electronic devices.
It is a crucial unit in the small-scale PV power system.
An example of basic PV power system components is shown in the Figure 1-1.

Information
Policies vary from one utility company to another. Consult with a
representative of the local utility company before designing and installing
a PV system.

NOTICE!
Any other or additional use is not permitted except the intended use.
The inverter must only be connected to public utility grid. If output of
inverter is connected to local loads (household appliance, lights, motor
loads, etc.) the inverter will not start.

The Digiwatts system represents state-of-the-art technology. Several key


features:
 High reliability and safety
 High efficiency
 Simple installation
 Quiet operation
 LCD Display
 Powder coated die-cast enclosure

Operating Temperature
The Digiwatts system has been equipped with a passive radiator used to
maintain full power output at ambient temperatures as high as 60°C.

1.5 Safety

1.5.1 Protection and Criterion

Anti-Islanding Protection
Islanding is a condition that can occur if the utility grid is disconnected while the
Digiwatts system is operating and the remaining load is resonant at 60 Hz and
matches the output of the Digiwatts perfectly. The Digiwatts system
incorporates an advanced active islanding protection algorithm to ensure that the
system will not export power into a balanced 60 Hz resonant load while the utility

Installation Guide RN3000US Apr 2013 12

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine


is disconnected. The Digiwatts system periodically injects both leading and
lagging reactive current into the utility grid. This method has been proven by
independent test labs to effectively destabilize and disconnect from a balanced
island condition.

PV Insulation Fault Detection


Before the inverter connects to the grid, the Digiwatts system will detect the
isolation of PV+ and PV- to the ground. When the insulate impedance is less
than 1MΩ, the inverter will not function. After the inverter is connected to the
grid, the system will detect the residual current. If a residual current greater than
30mA is detected, the Digiwatts system will shut down and display a fault
condition on the LCD user interface display.

AC Overcurrent Protection
The system will detect the AC current real time. Should the AC current exceed
20 ampere, the Digiwatts system will shut down and display a fault condition on
the LCD user interface display.

Safety criterion
ETL is the standard applied by Electrical Testing Laboratories to the
Digiwatts system to certify that it meets the requirements of the
highest safety criterion of the USA and Canada.
The Digiwatts system has been tested and listed by ETL to meet the
requirements of UL1741 Static Inverters and IEEE 1547 Standard for
Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems.
The Digiwatts system is also listed under CSA Std C22.2 No.107.1-01.
