maintenance or testing.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not perform any action or
operation which is not included in the operating instructions unless you
are qualified to do so

Warning: Shock Hazard

d
Death resulting from burning and electric shock upon
touching the SG100K3 live components.
• Do not touch the live components of the SG100K3.
• Observe all safety regulations.

Warning: Shock Hazard

d
The SG100K3 Inverter will immediately shutdown if users want to open the
front door during operation.
Please check the unit is thoroughly shut down and isolated from the public
grid and PV arrays before open the front door,
To avoid the risk of electric shock, a minimum 5 minutes is needed for
any stored potentials that still left in the inverter after shut-down to be
discharged before opening the door

Warning: Lethal Volltagee

Damage to the SG100K3 may result death by electric shock or fire!
• Only operate SG100K3 when it is safe to do so!
• Only operate SG100K3 when no damage is visibly apparent!

Warning: DC Voltage
The PV array will provide DC voltage to the inverter when exposed to
light, which may cause an electrical shock during installation, wiring or
maintenance if not covered.

Warning: Limitation of Use

The SG100K3 Grid-Connect Photovoltaic Inverter is not intended for use
in connection with life support systems or other medical equipment or
devices.

1
Caution: ESD Precautions
The SG100K3 may be damaged irreversibly by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) at its components.
•During the operation of SG100K3, please observe all the ESD related
safety regulations!
•Discharge any ESD by touching the grounded SG100K3 conductor
before contacting any electronic components!

Caution: Tools Precautions

Thoroughly inspect the equipment prior to energizing. Verify that no
tools or equipment have inadvertently been left behind.

Caution: Service Safety

Never work alone when servicing this equipment. Two persons are
required until the equipment is properly de-energized, locked out and
verified de-energized with a meter.

Note: Keep This Manual

Please keep this installation manual and other related document in the
handy place of the SG100K3.

1.1. Service Safety

Never work alone when servicing this equipment. Two persons are
required until the inverter is properly shut down and verified de-energized
with a meter.

1.2. Emergency Stop Button

The Emergency stop button will shutdown the inverter (disconnects the AC
contactor and stops the IGBT matrix) immediately when it is punched
(pressed down).
The inverter must be started up manually through LCD control menu if
users want to recover the operation after the button is punched.
Check “Start the inverter” of chapter 6 in the operation manual for details.

1.3. AC Circuit Breaker

The AC circuit breaker is one of the primary disconnects for the inverter. The
inverter's doors cannot be opened until the switch of the AC circuit breaker is in
the OFF position. When the AC main switch is in the OFF position, all AC
power is disconnected (not live), except the following areas:
• The input side of the AC circuit breaker (the utility grid)
• The DC input terminals (if the PV array is connected and energized)
To operate the inverter the AC circuit breaker switch must be in the ON position.

1.4. DC Circuit Breaker

The DC circuit breaker is also the primary disconnect for the inverter. The
inverter's doors cannot be opened until the switch of the DC circuit is in the
OFF position.
When the DC main switch is in the OFF position, all DC power is disconnected
(not live), except the following areas:
• The input side of the AC main switch (the utility grid)
• The DC input terminals (if the PV array is connected and energized)
To operate the inverter the DC circuit breaker switch must be in the ON position.

 Commissioning

Chapter 5 describes the verification and commissioning of

SG100K3.

26
5. Commissioning
Chapter 3 describes the procedures needed to verify whether your installation of
the SG100K3 is correct and how to start the inverter for the first time.

5.1. Visual Inspection

To perform a visual inspection of theSG100K3:
1. Inspect the polarity of PV input connections are correct.
2. Check all the mechanical connections and make sure there is no damage,
scratch or abnormal parts
3. Check all the electrical connections and secure the wiring terminals.
4. Check all the wiring of AC and DC sides are connected to the correct
terminals with correct rating wires.
5. Make sure all the bolts that fix the wires are tightened and secured.

5.1.1. AC Connection Check

It must be verified that the inverter is connected to the correct grid type and
that a right-hand rotary field exists on L1, L2, L3 and Neutral. The value of
the AC line to line voltage should be about 400 V.

5.1.2. DC Connection Check

The DC connections are from the DC combiner boxes to the inverter.

The voltage on the individual DC wires should be almost the same value
and must never exceed the allowable maximum DC voltage.
Besides the voltage values, the polarity of the DC inputs must also be
verified. all DC connections should be checked to ensure that
they are mechanically tight.

5.1.3. Ground Connection Check

Make sure the ground wire goes through the hole of the ground fault
detection device and connected to the ground copper bar securely.

5.1.4. Serial Communication Check (Optional)

For external communication monitoring, the data wires must be connected.

Make sure that the RS485 A and B wires are connected correctly and tightened
to the RS485/232 converter.
Make sure the RS485/232 converter DB9 terminal is correctly connected to
the PC DB9 serial port.

5.2. Start the Inverter

27
 Caution:
Before starting the device for the first time , all work performed
on the device should be thoroughly checked.

Caution: Check the voltages in both AC and DC sides meet the

requirements of SG100K3.

If all tests and measurements have been performed, and all measured values
lie within the acceptable range, then the device can be switched on for the first
time.
To start the SG100K3:
1. Verify 400 VAC voltage of the grid line to line voltage.
2. Close the door of the enclosure.
3. Turn the AC main switch to the “ON” position.
4. Turn the DC main switch to the “ON” position.
5. It will take about 10 seconds for the auto-initialization of the power
conversion circuit and the LCD panel. The “P POWER” LED indicators both in
the enclosure and in the LCD panel will burn; the “com” LED indicator will
flash every 2 or 3 seconds.
6. If the DC voltage is below the DC voltage start point (Vpv<470V), then
the “state” of the LCD interface will always show “Start-up”;
7. If the DC voltage exceeds the DC voltage start point (Vpv >470V) for 5
minutes, the SG100K3 will automatically change to “Run” state, the
“OPERATION” LED in the enclosure and the “RUN” LCD will both light ,with
the state of the LCD menu will change to “Run”.

5.3. How to Restart the Inverter after Using the Emergency Stop Button
Users must manually restart the inverter according to the following
