HIVERTER - NP201i Series
Control Functions
Start / Stop Function (Emergency Switch)
a. Inverter START / STOP switch or contact input signal
(Start and stop of the Inverters is carried out by START / STOP
switches).
b. Control position can be selected by DIRECT / REMOTE switch.
Direct Control
Direct control of the Inverters is possible by using
START / STOP switches.
Remote Control
Remote control of the Inverters can be done by contact input
signals (START / STOP Switches) or communication.
Fault Ride Through (FRT) Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT)
Against sudden changes of amplitude or phase of AC Voltage,
Inverters high-speed detection and control capability can prevent
AC over current.
With the feature, the Inverters can keep operating even under
momentary voltage dip of 60% for up to 0.5 seconds.
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Control
Inverter has a function to maximize power generation at a given
amount of solar radiation by adjusting DC voltage.
Monitoring (Indicators)
Inverter status measurement data, fault data, historical records and
other information is displayed on the LCD screen.
Status: Inverters Status l Switchgear Status l Grid Status

AC Output : Voltage l Current l Power l Power Factor l Frequency
DC Input : Voltage l Current l Power
Fault Data : Inverters Failure l Grid Faults

Highly Optimized Energy Conversion
PV Input Controlled Stand-by Function
a. When the DC input power or voltage reduces due to decrease in
solar irradiation or any other causes, the Inverters goes into stand-
by mode with its inverters switching functions turned off
automatically. In this case, the DC switchgear will be closed.
b. Upon recovery of the DC input the Inverters switching operation
will be restored automatically.
Output Power Limiting Function
When the Hitachi inverters output exceeds its maximum value, the
input power drawn will be adjusted to prevent the Inverters from
being overloaded.
Reactive Power Control
3 primary types of control methods
Auto-tuning of power factor based on grid conditions
Fixed power factor (can be set to unity)
Fixed amount of reactive power
Can be based on a pre-set value or based on adjustable
settings
Ease of Installation and Commissioning
Low weight and compact footprint saves time and resources at site
DC Input Panel
Protection is provided for individual DC input with optional current
monitoring feature.
AC Output Panel
AC Output panel with ACB and extended terminals for connecting
the cable up to 500 SQMM AL.
Hitachi PV Power Station is an advanced containerised
solution for large-scale and commercial PV (Photovoltaic)
power plants, which contains Solar Inverters and optional
equipments for auxiliaries, serves to protect electric
equipments from environmental influence.
Standard & robust design
Easy connectivity to MV station
