● Do not install the inverter in areas containing flammable materials (such as

sulfur, phosphorus, liquefied petroleum gas, marsh gas, flour, and cotton) to
avoid personal injury or property loss caused by fire or other reasons.
● Do not install the inverter in areas containing explosives (such as blasting
agents, display shells, fireworks, and firecrackers) to avoid personal injury or
property loss caused by explosion or other reasons.
● Do not install the inverter in areas with corrosive substances (such as sulfuric
acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorine) to avoid
inverter failure caused by corrosion, which is not covered under the warranty.
● Do not install the inverter in an easily accessible place, because the voltage is
high and its enclosure and heat sink are hot during device operation. This is to
avoid personal injury or property loss caused by accidental contact by non-
professionals or other reasons during device operation.
● Install the inverter in a well-ventilated environment to ensure good heat
dissipation. The inverter provides self-protection in high-temperature
environments. If the inverter is installed in a poorly ventilated environment,
its energy yield may decrease as the ambient temperature increases.
● Do not install the equipment in an area with strong vibration, noise, or
electromagnetic interference. The equipment shall be installed in an
environment with a magnetic field strength less than 4 Gauss. If the magnetic
field strength is greater than or equal to 4 Gauss, the equipment may fail to
work properly. If the magnetic field strength is high, for example, in a
smeltery, you are advised to use a gauss meter to measure the magnetic field
strength of the equipment installation position when the smelting equipment
is running normally.
● If the inverter is installed in an enclosed environment, a heat dissipation
device or ventilation device shall be installed. The indoor ambient
temperature must not be higher than the outdoor ambient temperature. The
inverter provides self-protection in high-temperature environments. Its energy
yield may decrease as the ambient temperature increases.
● Install the inverter in a sheltered place to prevent exposure to direct sunlight.
The inverter provides self-protection in high-temperature environments. If the
inverter is installed in a place subject to direct sunlight, its energy yield may
decrease as the temperature increases.
● If you need to install the inverter outdoors in salt-affected areas that may
cause corrosion, contact technical support. A salt-affected area refers to a
region within 500 m of the coast or prone to sea breeze. Regions prone to sea
breeze vary with weather conditions (such as typhoons and monsoons) or
terrains (such as dams and hills).
● The positive and negative DC PV string cables within 1.5 m of the inverter
shall be routed in separate pipes to prevent cable damage and short circuits
caused by improper operations during construction. For details, see Figure
5-1.
● The distance between each inverter and the AC combiner box or the low-
voltage panel of the transformer station must be at least 10 m, or the total
distances from two adjacent inverters to the AC combiner box or the low-
voltage panel of the transformer station must be at least 20 m. The inverter
provides output resonance self-protection. Its energy yield may decrease if
protection against resonance is triggered as the length of the inverter output
cables decreases.

SUN2000-(196KTL-H3, 200KTL-H3, 215KTL-H3)
User Manual 4 Installation

● Take waterproof and insulation measures for unused DC power cables. High
voltage may exist in unused DC power cables. Take measures to prevent
personal injury or property damage caused by accidental contact with high
voltage or other reasons.
● Cables must be vertically routed into combiner boxes and wiring terminals to
avoid damage caused by horizontal stress on the terminals, which is not
covered under the warranty.
● If an inverter has not been running for six months or longer after being
mounted, it may have failed and must be checked and tested by professionals
before being put into operation.
● To prevent the inverter from being corroded by moisture, PV terminals that
will not be used for a long time must be sealed with dedicated PV terminal
plugs. Inverter failure due to not using dedicated PV terminal plugs is not
covered under the warranty.

● The mounting structure for the inverter must be fireproof. Do not install the
inverter on flammable building materials to avoid personal injury or property
loss caused by fire or other reasons.
● Do not install the inverter on flammable building materials.
● Ensure that the installation surface is solid enough to bear the weight of the
inverter to avoid personal injury or property loss caused by the collapse of the
mounting structure or other reasons.
● In residential areas, do not install the inverter on a drywall or wall made of
similar materials which have a weak sound insulation performance because
the inverter generates noise during operation.

Figure 4-1 Mounting structure

4.3.2 Clearance Requirements

● Reserve sufficient clearance around the inverter for installation and heat
dissipation. The inverter provides self-protection in high-temperature
environments. The impact of environment changes on the clearance for heat
dissipation needs be considered during design. The clearance around the
inverter may become insufficient for reasons such as rotation axis change. The
energy yield of the inverter may decrease if heat cannot be effectively
dissipated.

5.7 Connecting DC Input Power Cables

Precautions

DANGER

● Before connecting the DC input power cables, ensure that the DC voltage is
within the safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the three DC switches (DC
SWITCH) on the inverter are OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage may result in
electric shocks.
● In the scenario where the installation is complete but the inverter is not
connected to the power grid, the three DC switches (DC SWITCH) must be
turned on if DC input power cables are connected to the inverter. After turning
on the switches, check the inverter status. If any fault occurs, rectify it in a
timely manner.
● When the inverter operates in grid-tied mode, do not perform maintenance or
operations on the DC input power cables, such as connecting or disconnecting
a PV string or a PV module in the PV string. Otherwise, electric shocks or arcing
(which may cause fire) may occur.

WARNING

Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the inverter may be
damaged or even a fire may occur.
● The maximum open-circuit voltage of each PV string must be lower than or
equal to 1500 V DC under any circumstances.
● The polarities of electric connections must be correct on the DC input side. The
positive and negative terminals of a PV string must be connected to
corresponding positive and negative DC input terminals of the inverter.

User Manual 5 Electrical Connections

WARNING

During the installation of PV strings and the inverter, the positive or negative
terminals of PV strings may be short-circuited to ground if the power cables are
not properly installed or routed. In this case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur
and damage the inverter. The resulting device damage is not covered under any
warranty.

NOTICE

● Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground.

● The PV strings connecting to the same MPPT circuit shall use the same model
and quantity of PV modules. If the quantity of PV modules in a PV string is over
10% less than that in other PV strings, any resulting damage to the PV
modules will not be covered by the warranty.
● The inverter does not support full parallel connection for PV strings (full
parallel connection: PV strings connect to one another in parallel outside the
inverter and then connect to it separately).

Terminal Description
The inverter provides 14 DC input terminals, which are controlled by its three DC
switches. DC SWITCH 1 controls DC input terminals 1–4, DC SWITCH 2 controls DC
input terminals 5–9, and DC SWITCH 3 controls DC input terminals 10–14.

Figure 5-15 DC terminals

Requirements for selecting DC input terminals:

1. DC input terminal PV1 must be connected to a PV string.
2. You are advised to connect PV strings to PV1, PV3, PV4, PV6, PV8, PV9, P11,
PV13, and PV14 preferentially.
For example, if there are 9 to 14 PV strings, you are advised to connect DC input
terminals as follows.

Precautions

DANGER

● Wear personal protective equipment and use dedicated insulated tools to avoid
electric shocks or short circuits.

WARNING

When LED2 is steady green (meaning that the inverter is grid-tied), do not turn on
any DC switch. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged because the insulation
resistance is not detected.

NOTICE

● Before the equipment is put into operation for the first time, ensure that the
parameters are set correctly by professional personnel. Incorrect parameter
settings may result in noncompliance with local grid connection requirements
and affect the normal operations of the equipment.
● Before turning on the AC switch between the inverter and the power grid,
check that the AC voltage is within the specified range using a multimeter.
● If the inverter has not been running for more than half a year after being
mounted, it must be checked and tested by professionals before being put into
operation.
● When powering on the system, you must switch on DC SWITCH 1 first, and
then switch on DC SWITCH 2 and DC SWITCH 3 after LED 1 is steady on.
Huawei shall not be held liable for damages caused by failing to follow this
sequence.
● The DC switches support automatic disconnection. Reverse polarity or improper
PV module configuration will trigger automatic disconnection of DC switches.
In this case, do not forcibly turn on the switches before the faults are fixed.
Otherwise, damages caused by the forced switch-on will not be covered under
any warranty.

● Do not turn the DC switch to the unloaded position .

● When the system is powered on or running, do not place obstacles (such as
cables) to block the rotation of the handle or manually hold the handle.
Otherwise, the DC switch cannot be automatically disconnected.

Procedure
Step 1 Turn on the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid.

NOTICE

If you perform Step 2 before Step 1, the inverter reports a fault about abnormal
shutdown. The inverter can start normally after the fault is automatically cleared.

Step 2 Set DC SWITCH 1 at the bottom of the SUN2000 chassis to ON. When you hear a
click sound, the switch is ON.
Step 3 Check the status of LED 1.
● If it is steady green, set DC SWITCH 2 and DC SWITCH 3 to ON.
● Wait one minute after power-on, if LED 1 is off, do not turn on other DC
switches. At the same time, turn off DC SWITCH 1 and check whether the
input power cables are correctly connected.
Step 4 Observe the LED indicators to check the SUN2000 operating status.

7.1 App Operations

NOTICE

● When you set inverter parameters on the app, if the AC switch between the
inverter and the power grid is turned on but the three DC switches (DC
SWITCH) of the inverter are not in the ON position, certain parameters cannot
be displayed on the app. Set the three DC switches (DC SWITCH) to the ON
position and then set related parameters again.
● Changing the grid code may restore some parameters to factory defaults. After
the grid code is changed, check whether the previously set parameters are
affected.
● Sending a reset, shutdown, or upgrade command to the inverter may cause
power grid connection failure, which affects the energy yield.
● Only professionals are allowed to set the grid parameters, protection
parameters, feature parameters, and power adjustment parameters of the
inverter. If the grid parameters, protection parameters, and feature parameters
are incorrectly set, the inverter may not connect to the power grid. If the power
adjustment parameters are incorrectly set, the inverter may not connect to the
power grid as required. In these cases, the energy yield will be affected.

NOTE

● Configurable parameters vary depending on the grid code.

● The parameter names, value ranges, and default values are subject to change. The
actual display may vary.

8.7 Locating Insulation Resistance Faults

NOTICE

The inverter supports insulation resistance detection:

● If reactive power output at night is enabled for the inverter, log in to the
SmartLogger WebUI, choose Monitoring > Inverter > Running Param. >
Power Adjustment and set Insulation resistance inspection during reactive
power output at night to Enable. Then, the inverter will perform insulation
resistance detection once a day. (This parameter can be set only for
SUN2000HA V500R023C00SPC110, SmartLogger V300R023C10SPC550, and
later versions.)
● If reactive power output at night is disabled, the inverter performs insulation
resistance detection by default when it is started.

If the ground resistance of a PV string connected to the SUN2000 is too low, the
SUN2000 generates a Low insulation resistance alarm.
The possible causes are as follows:
● A short circuit occurs between the PV array and the ground.
● The ambient air of the PV array is damp and the insulation between the PV
array and the ground is poor.
After the Low insulation resistance alarm is generated, the SUN2000
automatically triggers insulation resistance fault location. If the fault location is
successful, the location information is displayed on the Alarm details screen of
the Low insulation resistance alarm on the FusionSolar app.
Log in to the FusionSolar app, choose Alarm > Active alarm, and choose Low
insulation resistance to enter the Alarm details screen.

NOTE

● The positive and negative terminals of a PV string are connected to the PV+ and PV–
terminals of the SUN2000, respectively. The 0% position corresponds to the PV–
terminal, and the 100% position corresponds to the PV+ terminal. Other percentages
indicate that the fault occurs on a PV module or cable in the PV string.
● Possible fault position = Total number of PV modules in a PV string x Percentage of
possible short-circuit positions. For example, if a PV string consists of 14 PV modules
and the percentage of the possible short-circuit position is 34%, the possible fault
position is 4.76 (14 x 34%), indicating that the fault is located near PV module 4,
including the adjacent PV modules and their cables. The SUN2000 has a detection
precision of ±1 PV module.
● For details about the PV strings corresponding to the MPPT that may be faulty, see
Table 8-2. The fault can be located only to the MPPT level. Perform the following steps
to connect the PV strings corresponding to the faulty MPPT to the SUN2000 one by one
to further locate and rectify the fault.
● When a non-short-circuit fault occurs, the possible short-circuit percentage is not
displayed. If the insulation resistance is greater than 0.001 MΩ, the fault is not related
to short circuit. Check all PV modules in the faulty PV string one by one to locate and
rectify the fault.
