Intended Use
The Sunny Tripower Storage is an AC coupled battery inverter for parallel grid operation. The Sunny Tripower Storage converts the direct current supplied by a battery into grid-compliant three-phase alternating current. With a battery and a compatible energy meter, the Sunny Tripower becomes a system for commercial purposes, such as increased self-consumption or peak shaving.
The product is intended for use in commercial, industrial or business sectors.
The product is suitable for operation in coastal installation according to IEC 61701 in corrosivity category C3.
The product must only be used as stationary equipment.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
When used indoors, the ventilation system at the installation site must be able to dissipate the power loss that occurs.
With the product it is possible to feed the three-phase current directly into the low-voltage grid while complying with the locally applicable connection requirements. If the product is operated with a medium-voltage transformer, the low-voltage side must be configured in a star formation and the neutral point grounded.
The AC connection of the inverter must be installed with an external four-pole fuse protection (all line conductors and neutral conductors).
The product is not equipped with an integrated transformer and therefore has no galvanic isolation. The product must not be operated with batteries whose outputs are grounded. This can cause the product to be destroyed. The product may be operated with batteries whose enclosure is grounded.
The product must only be operated in connection with an intrinsically safe lithium-ion battery approved by SMA Solar Technology AG.
The battery must comply with UL 1973 and must be intrinsically safe.
The communication interface of the battery used must be compatible with the product. The entire battery voltage range must be completely within the permissible input voltage range of the product. The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the product must not be exceeded.
The DC terminal of the inverter is exclusively intended for the connection of a battery with external all-pole battery fuse. The DC lines of the positive and negative pole must be shorter than 30 m (98 ft).
Loads connected to the product must have an CE, RCM or UL identification label.
All components must remain within their permitted operating ranges and their installation requirements at all times.
The grid configuration of the utility grid must be a TN or TT system. Cables with copper or aluminium conductors must be used for the installation.
Use SMA products only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed documentation and with the locally applicable laws, regulations, standards and directives. Any other application may cause personal injury or property damage.
Any use other than that described in the Intended Use section does not qualify as appropriate.
The documentation supplied is an integral part of SMA products. Keep the documentation in a convenient, dry place for future reference and observe all instructions contained therein.
This document does not replace any regional, state, provincial, federal or national laws, regulations or standards that apply to the installation, electrical safety and use of the product. SMA Solar Technology AG assumes no responsibility for the compliance or non-compliance with such laws or codes in connection with the installation of the product.
The type label must remain permanently attached to the product.
