Page 17: System Diagram
4. SySTEm diagRam The typical connection diagram for the entire PV system is shown in the following fi gure. 1. Pv-Panel: Provide DC power to Protect PV inverter 2. Protect Pv PV-inverter Converts DC (Direct Current) power from PV panel(s) to AC (Alternating Current) power. Because Protect PV is grid-connected it controls the current amplitude according to the PV Panel power supply. -
Page 18: Operating Your Pv-Inverter
5. OPERaTiNg yOuR Pv-iNvERTER modes of operation There are 3 different modes of operation. 1. Normal mode: In this mode, Protect PV works normally. Whenever the supplied power from PV panel is sufficient (voltage>150VDC), Protect PV converts power to the grid as generated by the PV panel. If the power is insufficient, (voltage<120VDC) Protect PV enters a “waiting”... - Page 19 • Normal operation: When PV string DC voltage is greater than 150V, Protect PV operates in the normal state. In this state, it feeds power to the grid. Protect PV automatically stops when the PV power is not enough. a. Press the “Function” key repeatedly until “Contrast”...

Page 20: Maximum Power Point Tracking (Mppt)
maximum power point trackinG (mppt) A good PV inverter must be able to convert the maximum power from any PV panel. Due to its advanced design, Protect PV PV-Inverter can track the maximum power from your PV panel in any condition. When the displayed power on the LCD output does not change dramatically, Protect PV inverter is converting the maximum power from panels. -

Page 26: Trouble Shooting
In most situations, the Protect PV inverter requires very little service. However, if Protect PV is not able to work perfectly, please refer to the following instructions before calling your local AEG PS dealer. • Should any problems arise, the red (Fault) LED on the front panel turns on and the LCD displays the relevant information. - Page 27 1. Check the open PV voltage, see if it is greater than or too close to 450VDC PV over Voltage 2. If PV voltage is less than 450VDC, and the problem still occurs, please call local service 1. Disconnect PV (+) or PV (-) from the input, restart the PV- Consistent Fault Inverter 2.
