Energy
Principle of a PV plant with this MIN TL-X2 single-phase inverter
Energy is measured in Wh (watt hours), kWh (kilowatt hours) or MWh (megawatt hours).
The energy is the power calculated over time. For example, your inverter operates at a
constant power of 4600 W for half an hour and then at a constant power of 2300 W for
another half an hour, it has fed 3450Wh of energy into the power distribution grid within
that hour.

it is selective purchasing. PV modules Capacitive Discharge Currents
PV modules with large capacities relative to earth, such as thin-film PV modules with
cells on a metallic substrate, may only be used if their coupling capacity does not exceed
1uF. During feed-in operation, a leakage current flows from the cells to earth, the size of
which depends on the manner in which the PV modules are installed (e.g. foil on metal
roof) and on the weather (rain, snow). This "normal" leakage current may not exceed
50mA due to the fact that the inverter would otherwise automatically disconnect from
the electricity grid as a protective measure.

2.2 Qualification of skilled person

This grid-tied inverter system operates only when properly connected to the AC
distribution network. Before connecting the MIN TL-X2 to the power distribution grid,
contact the local power distribution grid company. This connection must be made only
by qualified technical personnel to connect, and only after receiving appropriate
approvals, as required by the local authority having jurisdiction.

2.3 Safety instruction

The MIN TL-X2 Inverters is designed and tested according to international safety
requirements（IEC62109-1,CE,VDE0126-1-1, AS4777,etc）; however, certain safety
precautions must be observed when installing and operating this inverter. Read and
follow all instructions, cautions and warnings in this installation manual. If questions
arise, please contact Growatt's technical services at +86 (0)755 2747 1942.

installation countries falling within the scope of validity of the IEC standard 62109, you
must install the protective conductor on the AC terminal with a conductor cross-section

 6.9.2 Danger information

Danger of fire from electric arc

Only test the AFCI for false tripping in the order described below.
Do not deactivate the AFCI permanently.

If an "Error 200" message is displayed, the buzzer alarms, an electric arc occurred in the
PV system. The AFCI has tripped and the inverter is in permanent shutdown.
The inverter has large electrical potential differences between its conductors. Arc flashes
can occur through air when high-voltage current flows. Do not work on the product
during operation.
When the inverter error 200, please follow the steps:

6.9.3 Operation step

6.9.3.1 Turn the DC & AC Disconnect to position "OFF".

Active power control and reactive power control are enabled separately. 6.9.3.3 After the fault is rectified, restart the inverter:
Turn the DC & AC Disconnect to position "ON".
6.9 AFCI(Optional)
6.9.1 Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

In accordance with the National Electrical Code R, Article 690.11, the inverter has a
system for the recognition of electric arc detection and interruption. An electric arc
with a power of 300 W or greater must be interrupted by the AFCI within the time
specified by UL 1699B. A tripped AFCI can only be reset manually. You can deactivate
the automatic arc fault detection and interruption (AFCI) via a communication product
in "Installer" mode if you do not require the function. The 2011 edition of the National Fig 6.23
Electrical Code R, Section 690.11 stipulates that newly installed PV systems attached to
a building must be fitted with a means of detecting and disconnecting serial electric 6.10 Earth Fault Alarm
arcs (AFCI) on the PV side. The inverter complies with IEC62109-2.When the Earth fault occurs,the Red LED will
light up.The buzzer in the inverter will keep ringing unless the fault condition is
cleared(This function is only avilable for Australia and New Zealand).

 Maintenance,Repair and Cleaning 9

Prior to removal of any cover for maintenance or repair, turn off the
switch on the AC and DC sides
WARNING

9.1 Checking Heat Dissipation

If the inverter regularly reduces its output power due to high temperature, please
improve the heat dissipation condition. Maybe you need to clean the heat sink.

9.2 Cleaning the Inverter

If the inverter is dirty, turn-off the AC breaker and DC switch ,waiting the inverter shut
down ,then clean the enclosure lid, the display, and the LEDs using only a wet cloth. Do
not use any cleaning agents (e.g. solvents or abrasives).

Fig 7.18 9.3 Checking the DC Isolator

Check for externally visible damage and discoloration of the DC Isolator and the cables at
regular intervals.If there is any visible damage to the DC Isolator, or visible discoloration
or damage to the cables, contact the installer.

Ø Once a year, turn the rotary switch of the DC Isolator from the On position to the Off
position 5 times in succession. This cleans the contacts of the rotary switch and
prolongs the electrical endurance of the DC Isolator.

8 Start-up and shut down the

Inverter
8.1 Start-Up the inverter
1. Connect the AC breaker of the inverter.
2.Turn on the dc switch, and the inverter will start automatically when the input voltage
is higher than 60 V.

8.2 Shut down the Inverter

Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.

DANGER

Turn-off the inverter step:

1.Disconect the line circuit breaker from single-phases grid and prevent it from being
reactivated.
2.Turn off the dc switch.
3.Check the inverter operating status.
4.Waiting until LED, OLED have go out, the inverter is shut down.
