1. Device description
The family of three-phase, high-efficiency and transformerless inverters type PS300 is designed for
cooperation with small photovoltaic power plants as well as wind and water based on synchronous
generators with permanent magnets. These inverters enable the transmission of energy obtained from the
power plant to the three-phase electrical network - the so-called "on-grid" systems. Inverters are working
fully autonomously. After being installed by an authorized person, the user's role is only to systematically
check the condition of the device (failure, flooding, etc.).
Photovoltaic panels are loaded on the basis of a follow-up MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
algorithm, while for synchronous generators it is necessary to enter a 16-point characteristic of the generator
input current as a function of its frequency. In addition, load control of a synchronous generator can be done
by directly setting the load current via the MODBUS communication protocol (RTU, TCP / IP). Each of these
algorithms is designed to optimally use a renewable source of electricity (RES).
Via the www.inverters.pl portal, MODBUS or Json communication protocol, you can read from the system
information about:
The system is equipped with an extensive diagnostic system as well as blockades and protections protecting
the inverter,and user. Has security:

4.3. Cooling
In order to ensure the required air circulation, the inverter should be mounted so as to keep a free space
of at least 20 cm from the top and bottom and 10 cm from both sides. When installing in a closed enclosure,
use ventilation openings. It is advisable to use an additional fan. Prevent dust from settling on the heat sink
surface. The radiator should be cleaned from time to time.
Remember to carry out voltage-free installation work. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock that
is dangerous to health and life.
The inverter set includes a connector for connecting the inverter from the 3-phase 400 V, 50 Hz electrical
network. The terminals on the connector are labeled respectively: L1, L2, L3 and N. The PE terminal is
marked with a grounding symbol - Fig.4.1. View of the mains connector

Blow of fuse can be caused by incorrect operation of the inverter or connected to it electric circuits.
Replacing the fuse without analysing the cause of the failure may result in more severe damage to the
inverter that is not covered by the warranty. For this reason, the replacement of fuse can only be done by the
manufacturer's service.
Access to the power circuit terminals is obtained by removing the front cover of the inverter.
5. ON-GRID installation
Applies to:
• PS300-WT,
• PS300-PV,
• PS300-H.
There are two kind of inputs from the Renewable Energy Sources side:
• WT input (AC voltage input): permanent magnet synchronous generator input – used for
PS300-WT and PS300-H inverters;
• PV1, PV2 inputs (DC voltage inputs): photovoltaic panels input – used for PS300-PV and
PS300-H inverters.
Installation operations must be carried out in accordance with chapter 5.1, 5.2, 5.3. After their execution,
the inverter will be ready for autonomous operation without user intervention.
The user can obtain information about the current state of the device by website www.inverters.pl (see
chapter 11. Inverter Monitoring System via “www.inverters.pl” on page 37), using the communication bus
(RS-485, Ethernet) or directly from the control panel. Detailed description of communication configuration
with the inverter can be found in chapter 10. Communication parameters setting on page 35.
ATTENTION:
When installing the inverter, it should be remembered that the electric circuit on the generator or PV
panel side must be galvanically separated from the power line supply. Additional measurement circuits
between the generator and the inverter must also comply with this principle. Otherwise, the inverter it can
work incorrectly or even damage that will not be covered by the warranty.

The BOOST converter enables obtaining electricity in a wide range of voltages: from 60 to 450 Vdc. The start
voltage is specified in the service parameter 1.20 The load for photovoltaic panels is based on the maximum
power point tracking algorithm (MPPT) implemented in the device, inverters with two PV inputs have two
independent tracking algorithms.
7.1. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and Global Maximum Power Point Tracking (GMPPT)
PS100-PV and PS100-H inverters with PV input (DC voltage input) are using Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. This algorithm constantly analyzes the voltage-current characteristic of a PV
panels and adjusting the load current in such a way as to obtain the greatest possible power from the
system - Fig. Hata: Başvuru kaynağı bulunamadı
Under the partial-shading condition, the voltage-current characteristic of a PV panels is different - instead of
having a single maximum power point (MPP), they exhibit multiple MPPs - Fig. Hata: Başvuru kaynağı
bulunamadı. For this reason, in order to work at the global maximum point, it may be necessary to enable the
global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) algorithm, which will allow for greater efficiency of the
system.
The user can set the GMPPT scan time in parameter 10.14. The optimal setting is 5 minutes.
Default the GMMPT is switched OFF.
It is recommended to use the GMPPT algorithm only under conditions of possible partial shading. If partial
shading does not occur, using the GMPPT algorithm will decrease overall system efficiency by up to 2%.

Sleep state: the mains voltage maintains the voltage in the batteries of the intermediate circuit
capacitors, the inverter is ready to start working in a few seconds.
Deep sleep state: the inverter's intermediary circuit is disconnected from the mains, it may take
about 1 ÷ 2 min to start working. In this mode, energy consumption is less than in the sleep mode.
• After connecting to the electrical grid, the inverter with PV inputs monitors the panel voltage; the
inverter with generator input first disconnects the load dump resistors and starts to monitor the
generator voltage and frequency.
• The inverter checks whether the voltage and frequency of the network is correct.
• By collecting energy from a source connected to the input, it increases the voltage in the DC circuit
to the level suitable for switching on the power network.
• Performs synchronization with the electrical grid.
• If the voltage received from the renewable source is high enough (threshold defined by parameter
1.20), the MPPT algorithm starts and the solar panels load according to the MPPT algorithm or
generator according to the curve introduced in group 3. The obtained electricity is sent to the
electrical grid.

Fig. 9.2. The principle of controlling the dump load resistors
The inverter continuously measures the frequency and voltage of the generator, and compares them to the
saved settings in the inverter's memory (group 10).
To prevent the generator from detaching, use dump load resistors. Parameter 10.3 determines the frequency
threshold of the generator above which the resistors are switched ON for the braking time T H, in which the
frequency of the generator drops below the threshold value reduced o hysteresis specified in parameter
10.5, however not shorter than the time set in parameter 10.4.
Additionally the inverter can react to exceeding the voltage thresholds. Parameter 10.2 is used to determine
the voltage level that triggers the activation of load resistors.
In the event of any failure, the system switch ON the dump load resistors.

9.2. Anemometer
The inverter works with anemometer with open collector type (OC) output or reed relay output. The
maximum frequency must be less than 1 kHz. It is possible to get a supply voltage to anemometer from the
5Vdc output, provided that the maximum load current of 50mA is not exceeded. Fig. 9.3 shows the
connection diagram of the anemometer on the example of the Fardata NP-3.
In order to correctly measure the wind speed, it is necessary to enter wind speed [m/s] corresponding to 10
pulses / second in parameter 10.6. This value is given by the manufacturer of the anemometer (ex. 1.5). The
current wind speed is showed in par. 0.31.

In our inverter we have a storm protection. Users are able to set dedicated parameters for the storm
protection. Storm protection system works through these parameters:
• P. 10.48 In this parameter users could set maximum velocity of wind for the storm protection
threshold.
• P. 10.49 In this parameter users could set time of storm protection threshold.
When the system detect above velocity than set, K3 contactor turning off and dump load is turning on. When
the set time up, storm protection getting deactivated and process repeats to check wind velocity. If wind
velocity still above of the storm protection threshold, system repeats same process.
User could connect and use an external switch to control inverter. Switch must be connected to DI_1(6) and
5VDC sockets(7).
• When the switch is open; inverter works.
• When the switch is close; inverter stops, K3 contactor switching off, output relays switching off and if
the inverter is for the wind turbine, dump load is switching on.

13. Faults
The occurrence of the fault is indicated by the red diode lighting up (pic. 6.1). The current fault number
can be read in parameter 0.60. Previous failure number is stored in par. 0.22. Table 13.1 lists the numbers of
failures with their descriptions.
After a cause that could damage the inverter, the inverter goes into a state of failure. Depending on the
parameter setting 1.25:
a) par. 1.25 „Autorestart” = 0 (disabled): the red LED will light up and the inverter will remain in a fault
state until it is erased by a user,
b) par. 1.25 „Autorestart” = 1 (enabled): the inverter will try to resume itself.
Explanation: the inverter after 10 seconds will automatically delete an error message and try to resume
the operation. In the situation when the same failure repeats three times, the inverter will go into fault state,
remain in it until it is erased by a user and the red LED will be lighting up continuously on the display.
