Chapter Ⅰ Product Introduction 1.1 Synopsis SGS inverter is on/off grid with intelligent energy management, which transfers PV energy to gird or load. With built-in transformer and advanced DSP-based digital control technology, SGS inverter has high reliability,high efficiency, isolated stable output, abundant intelligent interfaces and supports any kinds of load. 1.2 Topology It consists of inverter (DC/AC), STS,built-in MPPT charger,isolated transformer and maintenance switch Q3, input switch Q1, bypass switch Q2 and output switch Q4.
Battery is charged by external solar charger. If the grid power is available, DC/AC inverter will feed the energy to the grid.If the grid power is abnormal, DC/AC inverter will power the load with off-grid function. If the battery voltage is extremely low, DC/AC will work as a charger to charge the battery. This DC/AC inverter is based on SPWM/SVPWM control technology with built-in transformer.

3.2 Cable connection 3.2.1 Power Cable Mains input and bypass input shares the same input in our factory to support single AC input. Figure 3-1, indicates that the customer does not have to connect bypass. If customer wants to operate the Inverter with dual AC input, remove the power cable between mains input and bypass first in the terminal block, then connect mains input and bypass input independently.
