How to install the IPB inverter?
Installing the IPB inverter correctly is important to ensure its optimal performance and longevity. Here are the key steps for a successful installation:
Mounting
The inverter shall be installed in a place with sufficient airflow through the dissipation pad of the inverter. And a minimum clearance of 150mm from the upper and lower edges of the inverter is recommended to ensure natural thermal convection. The following takes IPB2000-12 as an example.
1. Ground connection
The wire size for the ground connection must be thicker or equal to that for the AC output.
2. Battery connection
A fast-acting fuse must be installed on the battery side, conformed to the following requirements:
- Fast-acting fuse voltage is 1.5 to 2 times the inverter’s rated voltage.
- Fast-acting fuse current is 2 to 2.5 times the inverter’s rated current.
- The distancebetween the fast-acting fuse and the battery cannot be farther than 150mm.
3. AC load connection
- The AC loads shall be determined by the continuous output power of the inverter. The surge power of the AC load must be lower than the instantaneous surge power of the inverter, or the inverter will be damaged.
- The N pole of the AC output port cannot be grounded.
4. Connect the Utility
The Utility input can generate dangerous high-voltage. Please disconnect the circuit breaker or fast-acting fuse before wiring, and ensure correct pole connections.
Once the utility is connected, do not ground the battery; instead, ensure the inverter cover is reliably grounded to shield against electromagnetic interference and prevent electric shock.
5. Remote switch connection
6. Power on the inverter
- Connect the breaker at the inverter input terminal or the fast-acting fuse at the battery terminal.
- Turn on the inverter switch, and the green indicator will be lighted on, which states a normal AC output.
- Connect the breaker at the AC load terminal, turn on the AC loads, and check the system working status.
- If the FAULT indicator flashes red and the buzzer alarms after powering the inverter, please immediately turn off the load and the inverter
