5.2 Commissioning

The Growatt MTL series inverters are grid-tied inverters which convert DC current

generated by PV modules into AC current and feed it into the public grid. The

Growatt MTL series inverters are multi-string inverters with multi-MPP trackers,

which meant they are able to connect to different PV module arrays.

Grid-tied PV System Overview:

As the drawing shown above, a complete Grid-tied PV system consists of PV modules,

PV inverters, distribution, grid and other components. Moreover, PV inverters always

act as key components.

Fig 1.3

When designing a PV system contains Growatt MTL series inverters or any other

Growatt inverters, the system designing software Shine Design (please download

from Growatt FTP. ftp://113.106.58.169, user name: ftpguest, password: ftpguest)

will provide adequate supports.

Notes

capacity relative to ground of the modules is large, please contact Growatt New

1.4 Safety

Growatt MTL is designed for global consumers, and is in accordance with most of the

safety standards of various countries and regions.

Below is the brief introduction of GFCI function and isolation function.

GFCI function

GFCI is short for Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter which is used for preventing from

being electric shock.

The inverter is equipped with integrated RCD (Residual Current Protective Device)

and RCM (Residual Current Operated Monitor). The current sensor will detect the

volume of the leakage current and compare it with the pre-set value. If the leakage

current is above the permitted range, the RCD will disconnect the inverter from the

AC load.

Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter!

All work on the inverter may be carried out by qualified personnel only.

The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation!

DANGER!

CAUTION!

Image2

Possible damage to the PV modules as a result of Identification of String Failure!

The Growatt MTL Inverter is equipped with a system which recognizes total failure of

individual strings or part-strings.

CAUTION!

Comply with the local requirements for grounding the PV modules and the PV

generator.

Grounding the PV generator

PV Isolation Detection

The ISO function a protection mechanism.

The inverter measures the resistances between both the positive pole and negative

pole of PV panel and earth.

Either of the measured value is lower than the limit, the PV inverter will not connect

to grid, the output relay will stay open, and show ‘PV isolation low’. The limited value

is determined by the standards. The firmware setting of our PV inverters is 5Mohm.

The simplified principle of the isolation resistance measurement is described as

Image1 and Image2.

Do not stay closer than 20 cm to the inverter for any length of time.

Growatt recommends connecting the generator frame and other electrically

conductive surfaces in a manner which ensures continuous conduction and ground

these in order to have optimal protection of the system and personnel.

3.1 Selecting Mounting Location

This is guidance for installer to choose a suitable installation location, to avoid

potential damages to devices and operators.

Fig 2.1

Fig 2.2

The wall selected to install the inverter must be strong and firm

enough to support and bear the weight of the inverter for a long

period time. (Refer to Chapter 10 Specifications).

The location selected must be suitable for dimensions of Growatt

MTL. (Refer to 3.2 Dimensions and Required Clearances).

************

Do not install the inverter on structures constructed of flammable

or thermolabile materials.

Never install the inverter in environment of little or no air flow, or

environment of dust. That may derate the efficiency of heat

dissipation, which will derate the conversion efficiency of inverters.

The Ingress Protection rate (IP level) is IP65 which means Growatt

MTL can be installed both indoors and outdoors.

Do not expose the inverter to direct sunlight, in order to avoid the

power and efficiency derating caused by excessive heating.

The humidity of location should be within 0~95% and without

condensation.

The ambient temperature of installation should be within -30℃

+60℃.

The installation location must be freely and safely to get for

operators or electricians at all times.

Vertically installation and make sure the connection of inverter is

downward. Never install horizontal and avoids forward and

sideways tilt, refer to drawing below.

Notice the minimum clearances of the inverter. (Refer to 3.2

Dimensions and Required Clearances).

Do not install Growatt MTL near television antenna or any other

antennas and antenna cables, for possible interferences of

inverter or cables.

Do not install Growatt MTL in living area, the noise caused by

inverter might affect on daily life.

For security reasons, DO NOT install Growatt MTL in place where

the children can reach.
