NOTE: Any wiring via the rear gland plate (attached to mounting bracket) can be ruffed in before mounting the SP PRO. EVO Power suggest using the bottom gland plate for any wiring, and wiring the M48-Select enclosure to the SP PRO after the SP PRO has been mounted, Item Description Picture 1. Leave access cover (A) in place. Lift inverter from underneath whilst stabilising top. Inverter is top heavy and gloves must be worn. Mount the SP PRO on the mounting plate by first hooking the top of the inverter over the projections and lowering it into position. Care should be taken to observe Pinch Point warning. A 2. With a T25 torx driver, remove the access cover(A) by unscrewing the two M5 Torx screws at the bottom of the SP PRO. Rev.1.12 18 | P a g e
4. The lower gland plate can be removed if required to give greater access to wiring terminals using T25 torx driver. NB, side screws need only be loosened. Secure the bottom of the SP PRO to the mounting plate with two M5 Torx screws. (A on above diagram) 5. DANGER! Do not connect any of the wiring to the inverter at this point, this will be completed in a later step. DANGER! Wiring must only be carried out by suitably qualified installers and must adhere to all relevant standards. Failure to correctly wire the SP PRO can cause severe damage to the inverter, battery & overall M48-Select system. Incorrect wiring may also cause the installer and/or customer to be electrocuted, causing serious injury or death. 6. When all the AC wiring is complete reinstall the terminal cover and expansion card. Important points • Failure to fill any holes in rear gland plate (A) or lower gland plate (B) will reduce IP rating and compromise thermal design. 7. NOTE: The rear gland plate (circled in red) is screwed to the mounting bracket. This allows all wiring to be carried out after the mounting bracket is installed and before the SP PRO is hung on the mounting bracket. NOTE: It is important to ensure this screw is installed. Complete steps 1-7 for all inverters if the M48-Select is a 2-Phase or 3-Phase configuration. Rev.1.12 19 | P a g e
3.4 Placing the batteries inside the M48-Select enclosures After the SP PRO mounting is complete, move the M48- Select enclosure back into place, and place the batteries inside the bottom of the M48-Select enclosure. NOTE: EVO Power recommends the use of lifting apparatus and Transport Dollys for transporting the batteries to the M48-Select. For more information on the battery, please see Appendix Take care in lifting the batteries, as the batteries weigh up D. to 45kg each. Place the batteries inside the M48-Select enclosure from Bottom to Top. See below where the first battery should be placed. CAUTION! Avoid carrying the battery exclusively with the centre handle, as this can damage the battery’s internal components. If necessary, always use two hold points to carry batteries. CAUTION! Ensure that all batteries have their lights off before placing them inside the M48-Select enclosure, and that all the DC battery breakers are switched off inside the M48-Select enclosure. CAUTION! If a battery is accidentally turned on while placing the battery inside the M48-Select enclosure, force shutdown of the battery by holding down the on/off button for 10 seconds until all the battery’s lights turn off. The on/off button is seen below in red: Rev.1.12 20 | P a g e
When placing each individual battery module, follow the following steps: Step Description Picture 1. Place the battery next to the M48- Select enclosure 2. With two people holding opposite bottom and top corners, lift the battery into the lowest M48-Select enclosure battery rack. 3. Slide the battery towards rear until the sides of the battery are flat against the M48-Select enclosure frame. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all battery modules, each time placing the battery as low as possible inside the M48-Select enclosure battery rack. Rev.1.12 21 | P a g e
3.5 Earthing the batteries to the M48-Select enclosure frame The battery modules need to be earthed to the M48-Select enclosure frame on both sides. The earthing screws have been provided by EVO Power in the EVO Power component package. See below for battery earthing instructions: Step Description Picture 1. Screw in each battery with an M6 bolt, Belville washer and serrated washer into the enclosure frame so that the battery is securely in place. NOTE: the serrated washer will scratch into the battery to create an earthing contact point between the battery and the M48- Select enclosure frame. 2. The completed battery earthing to the earthing bar will look like: 3.5.1 Connecting the M48-Select cables to the batteries The battery’s connection points for the power cables and communication cables are labelled in the diagram below: Rev.1.12 22 | P a g e
Complete the following steps to connect the batteries to the M48-Select: 1. The M48-Select enclosure will have Red and Black cables protruding from the front-right side of the enclosure. The Red (+) and Black (-) battery cables connect to connectors 5 and 7 respectively on each battery module. 2. Attach the lowest cables to the lowest battery module (Red cable to Red battery terminal, Black cable to Black battery terminal), and connect all batteries to the Red and Black cables from lowest to highest. See an example of all DC connections: 3. After all Red and Black cables have been connected, connect the “BMS” labelled cable to the top battery module in the “4” port highlighted in red, shown on the battery diagram. Rev.1.12 23 | P a g e
4. An example of this BMS cable connection is shown: 4. For all other batteries, daisy chain them together with the yellow & black short ethernet cables. To daisy chain, connect these cables to the batteries RJ50 port for intra rack communication cable. This is shown in red in the diagram: 5. An example of batteries daisy-chained together is shown: 6. Note: The bottom battery will only have 1 daisy-chain black and yellow cable connected to it. There is no need to terminate the last connection. Rev.1.12 24 | P a g e
7. The completed M48-Select cabling should look similar to this example: INSPECT: Ensure that these cables are plugged in and clicked into place securely to avoid communication issues between the batteries and the inverter. All M48-Select connections are now in place. 3.6 Wiring SP PRO This section includes the power and communications wiring for the SP PRO. The power & communications wiring must be completed for the SP PRO. All internal DC wiring for the M48-Select enclosure is prewired upon delivery. Refer to the schematics for the M48-Select found in Appendix A, Appendix B & Appendix C for help with the wiring of the system. All inverter power and communications cables must pass through the inverter gland plate holes. Note: Passthrough from AC Source to AC Loads via SP PRO After the completion of all M48-Select installation wiring, the SP PRO allows for AC Bypass from the AC source to AC loads via the SP PRO, even when the SP PRO is not powered on by the batteries. This passthrough will display on the SP PRO’s LED display, for example: Rev.1.12 25 | P a g e
For off grid: when the SP PRO isolators are turned off, no power will be supplied to the loads from the batteries, unless a generator is available. 3.6.1 Inverter power wiring Connect the power cables into the inverter before the communication cables. The inverter’s power connection terminals are labelled as follows: 3.6.1.1 Inverter DC wiring EVO Power have provided 1m lengths of 70mm² cable for the B+ positive and B- negative battery terminals in the SP PRO, which protrudes from the top of the M48-Select enclosure. The B+ cable has red heat shrink on the end, while the B- cable does not. Push this through the SP PRO Glands and cut back the DC cable until it is at an appropriate length between the SP PRO & M48-Select enclosure. Strip back the 70mm² cable insulation by 28mm, and connect the cables to their respective B+ & B- terminals in the SP PRO. 3.6.1.2 Inverter AC wiring DANGER! The SP PRO is overvoltage category III meaning that it must be a fixed installation connected either downstream of (customer’s side) or directly to the main switchboard. WARNING: Copper wiring must be used throughout. The SP PRO does not contain internal circuit breakers of fuses. The AC wiring must be fitted with appropriate fusing or circuit breakers. The AC cabling should be sized according to maximum demand through (consumed by the AC Load) and simultaneously consumed by the SP PRO (consumed by the charging of batteries). The SP PRO is fitted with terminals which are suitable for accepting up to 35 mm² cables. The SP PRO is rated to 63 A current capacity and must be protected externally with circuit protection device(s) of no greater than this. Rev.1.12 26 | P a g e
AC wiring should be fed up through the appropriate gland and terminated to the SP PRO. Connect the AC load wiring to the SP PRO: earth, neutral and active stripped back according to the table below and connected to the AC load terminals. Connect the AC source wiring to the SP PRO: earth, neutral and active stripped back according to the table below and connected to the AC Source terminals. DANGER! Multiple Hazardous Energy Sources AC wiring is fed from multiple sources. Care must be taken to ensure that under no circumstances could a user access or touch wiring, even after opening all circuit breakers DANGER! It is critical that all protective earth connections made within the SP PRO use the protective earth terminal. This is the earth terminal that is on the right hand side of the AC terminals and marked with a earth symbol enclosed in a circle. The inverter shall be earthed to the installation’s Earth system. A minimum copper earthing conductor no less than the size in the table below, shall be used. See the local regulations for further information on earthing conductor size. Earth the inverter by connecting earth wiring from the switchboard to the inverter Earth terminal. The SP PRO is suitable for Multiple Earth Neutral systems. Note: This table is given as a reference only. Please ensure all wiring complies with relevant safety standards. 3.6.1.3 Residual Current Device (RCD) Type Recommendation: The SP PRO produces a low distortion sine wave output via 50/60 Hz isolation transformer. This topology ensures that the output is sinusoidal and that there is no DC component associated with the SP PRO AC supply, whether that be feeding a domestic load or exporting solar to the grid. Standard Type AC RCDs are suitable for use with an SP PRO. Other types of RCDs may also be used. 3.6.1.4 AC Wiring Preparation The intended application and use of the SP PRO must be well understood to allow the SP PRO to be appropriately connected to the installation. How the SP PRO is wired into the switchboard is dependent on whether all the installation’s loads or only essential loads are to be supplied by the SP PRO for tariff optimisation, self consumption or battery backup. The below diagram shows AC wiring only and indicates the customer circuits; some of which are battery back-up protected, some are grid supply only. Rev.1.12 27 | P a g e
Attention must be paid to the Neutral conductor and connection through to the loads. The neutral conductor connecting to the loads must be maintained such that operation of the inverter isolator would not alter the bonding between Neutral and Earth. The Neutral conductor must remain connected through to the loads and particular care should be taken with the placement of RCDs. These devices open both Active and Neutral conductors thus the SP PRO must be installed on the grid side of these devices. Note: This diagram is given as a reference only. Please ensure all wiring complies with relevant safety standards. DANGER! The M48-Select MUST be earthed. Earthing the M48- Select will earth the batteries inside the system, which will protect the system against faults. The M48-Select has 1m of 6mm² cable protruding from the top of the enclosure. Connect this earthing cable to the SP PRO earth terminals (either Grid or Load side earth) to earth the M48-Select. Rev.1.12 28 | P a g e
The final connected AC earthing, Neutral, Grid, Loads and DC positive and Negative wiring should look like this: TORQUE: Ensure all power cables are thoroughly torqued INSPECT: by hand in this section. (1.5-2Nm for AC and The communications cables are labelled, plug around 10Nm for DC). Failure to properly torque these cables into the same labelled ports on these cables will result in power losses and the communications card. improper contact.
