2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
Function
The SUN2000 is a three-phase grid-tied PV string inverter that converts the DC power
generated by PV strings into AC power and feeds the power into the power grid.
Models
Figure 2-1 shows a model number of the SUN2000, using SUN2000-30KTL-A and
SUN2000-33KTL-E001 as an example.
Table 2-1 lists all models of the SUN2000 and their rated output power.
SUN2000-30KTL-A 30 kW
SUN2000-33KTL 30 kW
SUN2000-33KTL-E001 30 kW
SUN2000-40KTL 36 kW
Network Application
The SUN2000 applies to grid-tied PV power systems for commercial rooftops and large
power stations. Typically, a grid-tied PV power system consists of PV strings, grid-tied
inverters, AC distribution units (ACDUs), and isolation transformer, as shown in Figure 2-2.

5 Electrical Connections
Context
Before performing any electrical connection, ensure that the DC SWITCH is OFF. Otherwise,
the high voltage of the inverter may result in electric shocks.
The cable colors shown in the electrical connection drawings provided in this chapter are
for reference only. Select cables in accordance with local cable specifications
(yellow-green wires are only used for grounding).
To prevent poor cable connection due to overstress, it is recommended that the cables be
bent and reserved, and then connected to the appropriate ports.
Prerequisites
The ground cable and OT terminals are available.
Ground cable: Use an outdoor copper-core cable with a cross-sectional area of 8 mm2 or
more (8 mm2, 10 mm2, 8 AWG, or 7 AWG recommended).
OT terminal: M6
Context
The ground point on the enclosure is preferred to connect to the PE cable for the
SUN2000.
The ground point in the maintenance compartment is mainly used for connecting to the
ground cable included in the multi-core AC power cable. For details, see section 5.3
Installing AC Output Power Cables.
It is recommended that the ground cable be connected to a nearby ground position. For a
system with multiple inverters connected in parallel, connect the ground points of all
inverters to ensure equipotential connections.
Procedure
Step 1 Strip an appropriate length of the insulation layer of the ground cable using a wire stripper, as
shown in Figure 5-1.
Step 2 Insert the exposed core wires into the crimping area of the OT terminal and crimp them using
hydraulic pliers, as shown in Figure 5-2.
The crimping must result in full containment of the cable conductors and complete contact between the
cable conductors and the terminal.
To prevent corrosion, apply silica gel to the ground terminal after connecting the PGND cable.
----End
Procedure
Step 1 Remove the two screws on the maintenance compartment door using a hex key, as shown in
Figure 5-4, and set them aside.
If the two screws are lost, obtain the reserved screws from the fitting bag bound to the reinforcing rib at
the chassis base.
Step 2 Open the maintenance compartment door and install a support bar, as shown in Figure 5-5.
The support bar can be obtained from the fitting bag bound to the reinforcing rib at the chassis base.
----End
Context
To connect a ground cable to the ground point on the SUN2000-33KTL and
SUN2000-33KTL-E001 chassis shell, use a four-core (L1, L2, L3, and N) outdoor
copper-core cable. To connect a ground cable to the ground point in the maintenance
compartment, use a five-core (L1, L2, L3, N, and PE) outdoor copper-core cable.
To connect a ground cable to the ground point on the SUN2000-30KTL-A or
SUN2000-40KTL chassis shell, use a three-core (L1, L2, and L3) outdoor copper-core
cable. To connect a ground cable to the ground point in the maintenance compartment,
use a four-core (L1, L2, L3, and PE) outdoor copper-core cable.
Outdoor copper-core cables are recommended. Table 5-1 describes the specifications.
Procedure
Step 1 Remove the AC terminal cover, as shown in Figure 5-6.
To highlight the involved area, the figure does not show the open maintenance compartment door.
Step 2 Remove an appropriate length of the jacket and insulation layer from the AC output power
cable using a wire stripper.
Step 3 Insert the exposed core wires into the crimp area of the OT terminal and crimp them using
hydraulic pliers.
Step 4 Wrap the wire crimp area with heat shrink tubing or PVC insulation tape.
If heat shrink tubing is used, put it through the power cable and then crimp the OT terminal.
Step 5 Remove the locking cap from the AC OUTPUT waterproof cable connector at the inverter
bottom and remove the plug from the locking cap.
Step 6 Route the AC output power cable through the locking cap and then the AC OUTPUT
connector at the inverter bottom.
Step 7 Connect the SUN2000-33KTL/SUN2000-33KTL-E001 AC output wires to pins L1, L2, L3,
and N of the AC terminal block and tighten the screws to a torque of 4 N·m using a 10 mm
socket wrench. Connect the SUN2000-30KTL-A or SUN2000-40KTL AC output wires to
pins L1, L2, and L3 of the AC terminal block and tighten the screws to a torque of 8 N·m
using a 13 mm socket wrench.
To connect a ground cable to the ground point in the maintenance compartment, tighten the
ground screw to a torque of 4 N·m using an M6 torque screwdriver.
Ensure that AC terminations are secured. Failure to do so may cause the SUN2000 to
malfunction or cause damage to its terminal block from issues such as overheating.
Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the
force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force
majeure.
Step 8 Use a torque wrench with an open end of 52 mm to tighten the locking cap to a torque of 7.5
N·m.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
Check that the cables are connected correctly and securely, and then seal the cable holes with
firestop putty.
Prerequisites
PV modules generate electric energy when exposed to sunlight and can create an electrical
shock hazard. Therefore, when connecting DC input power cables, shield the PV modules
with opaque cloth.
Before connecting DC input power cables, ensure that the voltage on the DC side is within
the safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the DC SWITCH on the SUN2000 is OFF.
Otherwise, high voltage may result in electric shock.
When the SUN2000 is grid-tied, it is not allowed to perform operations on the DC input
power cables, such as connecting or disconnecting a string or a module in a string.
Otherwise, electric shocks may occur.
Ensure that the following conditions are met. Otherwise, the inverter will be damaged, or even
a fire disaster will be caused.
The maximum open-circuit voltage of each PV string must be always lower than or equal
to 1000 V DC.
The positive and negative terminals of PV modules must be connected to the positive and
negative DC input terminals of the SUN2000 respectively.
Ensure that the PV module output is well insulated to ground. If the SUN2000 is directly
connected to the power grid with the neutral wire connected to the PGND cable (for
example, a low-voltage power grid or a power grid with the neutral wire grounded), do not
ground the positive and negative terminals of PV strings. Otherwise, the SUN2000 may be
damaged. The caused equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope.
During the installation of PV strings and SUN2000, the positive or negative terminals of
PV strings may be grounded if power cables are not properly installed or routed. In this
case, an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000. The caused
equipment damage is beyond the warranty scope.
The following requirements must be met if the positive or negative terminals of PV strings need to be
grounded:
Connect a three-phase isolation transformer on the output side, and ensure that the neutral wire of
the isolation transformer is separate from the PGND cable.
One isolation transformer must be installed only for one SUN2000. Do not connect two or more
SUN2000s to the same isolation transformer. Otherwise, the SUN2000s may fail to work due to the
loop current generated between them.
Set Isolation to Input grounded, with TF on the SUN2000 APP, SmartLogger, or NMS.
Context
DC terminal selection
Figure 5-15 shows the DC terminals at the bottom of the SUN2000. Table 5-2 describes
the requirements for DC terminal selection.
Highly rigid cables, such as armored cables, are not recommended because bending may
cause poor contact.
Positive and negative connectors
DC input connectors are categorized into positive and negative connectors, as shown in
Figure 5-16 and Figure 5-17.
Use the positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors supplied with the SUN2000.
Using other models of positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors may result in
serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or
service agreement.
Procedure
Step 1 Prepare positive and negative connectors.
The metal contacts supplied with the DC connectors are either cold forming contacts or
stamping forming contacts. Choose the crimping tools that fit the metal contact types. Do
not mix up the tools.
Crimp the metal cold forming contacts using crimping tool UTXTC0005 (Amphenol,
recommended) or H4TC0001 (Amphenol).
Crimp the metal stamping forming contacts using crimping tool H4TC0003 (Amphenol,
recommended), H4TC0002 (Amphenol), PV-CZM-22100 (Staubli), or PV-CZM-19100
(Staubli). When choosing PV-CZM-22100 or PV-CZM-19100, do not use the locator.
Otherwise, metal contacts would be damaged.

After the positive and negative metal contacts snap into place, pull the DC input power cables
back to check that they are connected securely.
Step 2 Pull out the blue dustproof plugs from the ends of the DC input connectors.
Step 3 Ensure that the DC input voltage of each PV string does not exceed 1000 V DC using a
multimeter and check that the polarities of the DC input power cables are correct.
Step 4 Insert the positive and negative connectors into the corresponding DC input terminals of the
SUN2000 until a click sound is heard, as shown in Figure 5-22.
After the positive and negative connectors are in position, the clearance between the DC
terminals and connectors should be less than or equal to 0.8 mm and the DC input cables
cannot be pulled out.
If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC SWITCH is ON, do not turn
off the DC SWITCH immediately. Otherwise, the inverter may be damaged. The damage
caused by reverse connection of the DC input power cable is beyond the warranty scope. Wait
until the PV string voltage reduces to the safe range (below 60 V DC). Then, turn off the DC
SWITCH, remove the positive and negative connectors, and rectify the connection.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
To remove the positive and negative connectors from the SUN2000, insert a removal wrench
into the bayonet and press the wrench with an appropriate force, as shown in Figure 5-23.
Before removing the positive and negative connectors, ensure that the DC SWITCH is OFF.
For the SUN2000 at the end of the chain, on the Comm. Param. screen of the SUN2000 APP, set
Match Resistance to Connect to turn on the switch of the build-out resistor so that the build-out
resistor is enabled (see the SUN2000 APP User Manual for details).
The RS485 communication distance between the SUN2000 at the end of the daisy chain and the
SmartLogger cannot exceed 1000 meters.
If multiple SUN2000s need to communicate with one another and are connected to a PC over the
SmartLogger1000, a maximum of three daisy chains can be configured to support up to 80 devices.
It is recommended that the number of devices on each daisy chain be less than 30.
If multiple SUN2000s need to communicate with one another and are connected to a PC over the
SmartLogger2000, a maximum of six daisy chains can be configured to support up to 200 devices.
To ensure the system response speed, it is recommended that the number of devices on each daisy
chain be less than 30. Each SmartLogger2000 can connect to a maximum of 80 SUN2000s.
PLC (MBUS)
The PLC (MBUS) communication board loads communication signals onto power cables for
transmission.
The PLC (MBUS) communication mode is only applicable to medium-voltage grid connection
scenarios and non-low-voltage public grid connection scenarios (industrial environment).
The built-in PLC (MBUS) module in the SUN2000 does not require cable connections.
Context
Connecting an RS485 communications cable
An RS485 communications cable can be connected in two ways:
− Terminal block connection
You are recommended to use a DJYP2VP2-22 2x2x1 network cable or a
communications cable with a conductor cross-sectional area of 1 mm2 and cable
outer diameter of 14–18 mm.
− RJ45 port connection
You are recommended to use a shielded RJ45 connector and a CAT 5E outdoor
shielded network cable with an outer diameter less than 9 mm and internal
resistance not greater than 1.5 ohms/10 m.
Select either connection mode during installation. Connecting to a terminal block is recommended.
When routing communications cables, ensure that communications cables are separated from
power cables and away from interfering source to prevent communication from being
affected.

6 System Commissioning
Procedure
Step 1 Turn on the AC switch between the inverter and the power grid.
If you perform Step 2 before Step 1, the SUN2000 reports a fault about abnormal shutdown.
The SUN2000 can start normally after the fault is automatically rectified. The default alarm
clearance time is 1 minute. You can modify the time over the NMS software installed on the
PC that connects to the SUN2000.
Purchase a Bluetooth module or a WLAN module bundled with the inverter. A Bluetooth module or
a WLAN module purchased from any other source may not support communication between the
inverter and the SUN2000 app.
Use the USB data cable delivered with the mobile phone. The port type is USB 2.0.
The screen snapshots in this document correspond to app 3.2.00.001.
Step 4 Tap the user name area on the SUN2000 app to switch between Common User, Advanced
User, and Special User.
The login password is the same as that for the SUN2000 connected to the app and is used only for
the SUN2000 to connect to the app.
When the WLAN connection is used, the initial name of the WLAN hotspot is Adapter-WLAN
module SN, and the initial password is Changeme.
The initial passwords for Common User, Advanced User, and Special User are all 00000a.
Use the initial password upon first power-on and change it immediately after login. To ensure
account security, change the password periodically and keep the new password in mind. Not
changing the initial password may cause password disclosure. A password left unchanged for a long
period of time may be stolen or cracked. If a password is lost, devices cannot be accessed. In these
cases, the user is liable for any loss caused to the PV plant.
During login, if five consecutive invalid password attempts are made (the interval between two
consecutive attempts is less than 2 minutes), the account will be locked for 10 minutes. The
password should consist of 6 characters.
If you log in to the SUN2000 app after the device connects to the app for the first time or factory
defaults are restored, the quick settings screen will be displayed, on which you can set basic
parameters. After the settings take effect, you can enter the main menu screen and modify the
parameters on the Settings screen.If the AC switch between the inverter and the power grid is turned
on but all DC switches on the inverter are not in the ON position, Grid code is not displayed on the
quick settings screen.
You are advised to log in to the Quick Settings screen as Advanced User for parameter settings.
Set the correct grid code based on the application region and scenario of the SUN2000.
Set the grid code that applies to the country or region where the PV plant is located and the
SUN2000 model.
Set user parameters based on the current date and time.
Set Baud rate, Protocol, and Address based on site requirements. Baud rate can be set to 4800,
9600, or 19200. Protocol can be set to MODBUS RTU, and Address can be set to any value in the
range of 1 to 247.
When multiple SUN2000s communicate with the SmartLogger over RS485, the RS485 addresses
for all the SUN2000s on each RS485 route must be within the address range set on the SmartLogger
and cannot be duplicate. Otherwise, the communication will fail. In addition, the baud rates of all the
SUN2000s on each RS485 route must be consistent with the SmartLogger baud rate.
----End
If two SUN2000s share the same AC switch on the AC side, power off the two SUN2000s.
After the SUN2000 powers off, the remaining electricity and heat may still cause electric
shocks and body burns. Therefore, put on protective gloves and begin servicing the
SUN2000 five minutes after the power-off.
Procedure
Step 1 Run a shutdown command on the SUN2000 APP, SmartLogger, or NMS.
For details, see the SUN2000 APP User Manual, SmartLogger1000 User Manual,
SmartLogger2000 User Manual, or iManager NetEco 1000S User Manual.
Step 2 Turn off the AC switch between the SUN2000 and the power grid.
Step 3 Set the DC SWITCH to OFF.
