7. Limiter function
The inverter has integrated export limitation function. The function is to adjust the output
of inverter quickly according to the power of the user and solar panels, prevent the output
of the inverter from being fed to the power grid. This limiter function is optional. If you
buy the inverter with limiter, a current sensor will be included in the package which is
necessary for limiter function.

7.1 Limiter function wiring diagram

When you are reading this, we believe that you have completed the connection according
to the requirements of chapter 5, if you has been running your inverter at this time, and
you want to use the limiter function, please turn off AC and DC switch of the inverter,
and wait for 5 minutes until the inverter completely discharged. Then connect the current
sensor to the inverter limiter interface.Make sure they are reliably connected, and the
current sensor should clamp to the live wire of the incoming line.In order to make it easier
for you to use the built-in limiter function of the inverter, we have specifically given the
wiring diagram,as shown in Picture 7.1, the red lines connected to the utility grid said wire
(L), blue line shows the zero line (N), yellow green line shows the ground wire (PE). We
recommend installing a AC switch between the inverter outlet and the utility grid, the
specs of the AC switch is determined according to the load capacity. The AC switch we
recommend to connect to the inverter output can refer to Table 5.1.If there is no integrated
DC switch inside the inverter you purchased, were commend you to connect the DC
switch. The voltage and current of the switch depends on the PV array you access.

7.3 Notes while using limit function
For your safety and the operation of limiter function of the inverter, we put forward the
following Suggestions and precautions:

Warning：
In limit function we strongly recommend that the two photovoltaic
arrays are formed by the same number of photovoltaic panels of the
same size, which will make the inverter more responsive to limit the
power.

Warning：
When using limit function, you need to ensure that the opening
voltage of PV input is no more than 480V, Otherwise may cause
inverter malfunction. Do not have this limitation if not working
under limit function.

Warning：
While the grid power is negative and inverter has no output power,
That means the orientation of the current sensor is wrong,pls turn
off the inverter and change orientation of the current sensor.

Warning：
The current sensor of limit function needs to be clamped on the fire
line of the grid connected to the inverter., otherwise inverter cannot
able to normal operate

- 25 -
 Warning：
Do not change the operating parameters if non-professional when
setting the limit function switch, otherwise inverter cannot able to
normal operate.
