Introduction

1 Introduction

1.1 PLATINUM H

Inverters in the PLATINUM H series are single-phase feed-in inverters for different

power ranges; see “Technical data” on page 86.

Inverters in the PLATINUM H series are equipped with an integrated web server, which

allows data to be viewed and evaluated via a network or via the internet.

Up to 30 PLATINUM H inverters can be connected to form a single inverter system via

the CAN network.

3.3 Assembly

3.3.1 Safety instructions

WARNING

Injury may result if the inverter falls!

f Use ﬁxing materials suited to the assembly wall and the weight of the

inverter.

f Wear safety shoes during assembly and disassembly.

f Ensure that the inverter is positioned securely.

CAUTION

Damage to the inverter due to excessive buildup of dust.

f Avoid excessive build-up of dust.

f Avoid build-up of dust with electrically conductive dust particles.

In order to comply with the requirements of standard IEC-62109, a

possibility must be provided for tool-free isolation of the solar generator.

If the design does not feature an integrated DC isolator, an external

isolation device is mandatory; this must be easily accessible.

PLATINUM recommends that the inverter should not be installed in living

quarters.

Installation

3.4.2 Network connection

The inverter is equipped with two different network connections:

CAN

Ethernet

▪ CAN: for communication between

multiple inverters

▪ Ethernet: for communication between

the integrated web server of the

master and a computer or the internet

Up to 30 PLATINUM H inverters can be connected into a network with

an overall length of up to 100 m.

Network cable

▪ CAN: cross-section 0.21 mm

2

, max. 100 m

▪ Ethernet: CAT 5 shielded twisted-pair cable with pre-assembled RJ45 plugs

Connect

1. Unscrew the network screw

connection (10) from the left-hand

underside of the inverter.

2. Take out the three-way screwed cable

connection insert.

(11) to a width of around 1 mm for the

Ethernet cable.

12

4. Insert the Ethernet cable (12) in the

cable insert.

13

5. Route the CAN cable (13) through the

bore(s) in the cable grommet.

make sure that the lines L and H are

not accidentally swapped over during

connection.

9. At the master inverter, connect the

plug of the Ethernet cable with the lug

facing towards the rear into the socket

(15).

Termination

Termination via an internal terminating resistor ensures correct operation of the

network. This is done by means of a jumper, which lies across the CAN terminal block

and short-circuits two pins.

No jumper is ﬁtted at the factory, so the terminating resistance is not activated.

The terminating jumper is included with the supplied installation materials.

1. At each inverter, check that the jumper

(16) is in the correct position (in ac-

cordance with the table above).

2. If not, correct the jumper position

accordingly.

3.4.3 Connect the AC voltage

DANGER

Risk of death due to high AC voltage!

f Switch off the mains voltage supply (AC side) before connecting the

inverter (safety device).

f Make sure that the central isolation device can be accessed freely.

f Only connect the inverter to TN or TT networks (see IEC 60364-1)

with 230 V.

f Observe max. fuse protection permitted on the AC voltage side; see

“Technical data” on page 86.

f Establish the AC voltage connection with a circuit breaker.

PLATINUM recommends a type C miniature circuit breaker.

f If an external residual current protective device is required, PLATINUM

recommends using a residual current protective device (RCD) of

type A.

CAUTION

Destruction of the inverter!

f Never connect inverters between two phases.

f Never mix up the phases with PE or N.

f If several inverters are connected, distribute them across the three phases so

that the differences in feed-in power between the phases do not exceed the

maximum permitted unbalanced load of the grid operator.

Installation

Prepare the connection cable for the AC voltage

Dimensioning the wire cross-section is the responsibility of the

electrician and depends on the cable length and installation situation.

▪ Min. cross-section 6 mm

2

▪ Max. cross-section 16 mm

1. Protect the AC voltage connection lines with appropriate fuses; see “Technical data”

on page 86.

2. Strip 18 mm of insulation from the AC voltage connection lines and add wire-end

sleeves.

Connect

The AC connection screw ﬁtting does not have a seal. One of the sup-

plied seals must be used to ensure that the requirements for safety class

IP65 are met.

9

1. Unscrew the AC screw connection (9)

from the right-hand underside of the

inverter.

2. Route the prepared AC voltage

connection line through the AC screw

connection. Use a seal if required.

3. Feed the AC voltage connection line

into the housing from below.

4. Tighten the AC screw connection.
