    Risk of injury due to the heavy weight of the equipment! ABB usually stores and protects individual components by suitable means to make their transport and subsequent handling easier. Nonetheless, as a rule, it is necessary to turn to the experience of specialised staff to take charge of loading and unloading compo- nents.
  • Page 8 In case of manual lifting the number of required operators necessary to lift the equipment must be in accordance to local regulations relating lifting limits per operator The handles (04) must be mounted into the designated holes located on the enclosures; If lifting with ropes, M12 eyebolts must be mounted in the same holes.
  • Page 9 Always consider the center of gravity of the enclosures while lifting. Center of gravity (wiring box) Center of gravity (power module) PVS-175 In case of manual lifting it’s suggested to use a support plan (e.g. a table) to place the equipment during the lifi- ting operation, to allow the change of hands position.

    (for example: the type of surface around the inverter, the general properties of the room, etc.) and the quality of the electricity supply. • All installations over 6500’ (2,000 meters) must be assessed by ABB Technical Sales to determine the proper datasheet derating.
  • Page 11 The minimum clearance distances depends from multiple factor: • Ventilation flow on the top side of the inverter. The upper (A) minimum required free space must be 50 cm. • Possible flooding or damage during grass cutting. It changes the bottom (B) required free space: If the inverter is installed in a place where there are risks of flooding or there is need to cut the grass growing underneath the unit, the bottom (B) minimum recommended free space is 50 cm;...

  • Page 12: Mounting Instructions

    — Mounting Instructions Bracket assembly • Assembly the two side bracket pieces together with the central bracket, by sliding it as shown in the picture and paying atten- tion to the orientation of the pieces (refer to arrow and “UP” markings on the brackets): side brackets arrow have to be turned downwards, central bracket have to be turned upwards.
  • Page 13 • Attach the bracket (03) to the support with at least 6 attachment screws (shown in RED) or at least 6 frame fixing bracket for frame mounting (shown in BLUE). • Depending on the type of anchor chosen, drill the required holes to mount the bracket (03). The pictures shown the recom- mended minimum fixing point depending to the type of support.
  • Page 14 • Insert the two gasket protective covers sliding the positioning pins (shown in red in the picture) into the proper bracket (03) holes. If the mounting is correct the gasket protective cover will have a locked position. • Lift the power module up to the bracket (03) and over the wiring box, using the handles (04) or the M12 eyebolts.

    — Routing the cable to the inverter PVS-175 The cable routing have to be done in order to avoid water dripping to the AC panel cable glands (11) (12), DC input quick fit connectors (17) or to ser- vice cable glands (13). 20-30 cm 20-30 cm Min.

  • Page 19: Characteristics Of The Protective Grounding Cable

    2.0 A ABB declares that the ABB transformerless inverters, in terms of their construction, do not inject continuous ground fault currents and therefore there is no requirement that the differential protection installed downstream of the inverter be type B in accordance with IEC 60755 / A 2.

  • Page 20: Output Connection (Ac)

    — Output connection (AC) Before carrying out any operation, check that any external AC switch downstream to the inverter (grid side) are in OFF position and check for voltage absence on the AC conductors! The inverter must be connected to a three-phase TN system with the center of the star connected to ground. To connect the inverter to the grid is necessary to use a three-wire connection (3 phases) without neutral cable.
  • Page 21 Depending on the ground connection method (internal (26) or external (10)) follow the procedures described below: • Internal ground connection: - Pass the protective earth cable trought the proper cable gland (12) on the AC panel. - Fix the protective earth cable lug to the protection earth connection point (int.) (26) using the washers and bolt pre-installed on the M10 stud, as shown in the following installation sequence: Installation sequence:...

  • Page 22: Input Connection (Dc)

    — Input connection (DC) Comply with the maximum input current relating to the quick-fit connectors as indicated in the technical data. The reverse polarity can cause severe damage and electric arc hazards! In case of reverse input strings do not dis- connect them while under load and do not turn the DC disconnect switches (16) to OFF position.
  • Page 23 Decisions on how to structure a photovoltaic system depend on a series of factors and considerations, such as the type of panels, the space availability, the future location of the system, energy production goals over the long term, etc. A configuration program that can help to correctly size the photovoltaic system is available on the ABB website (http://stringsizer. abb.com).
