7 Commissioning
7.1 Related requirements
Before commissioning A completely check should be took. Whether DC and
AC voltage meets the requirement, and the polarity is right. Check the system
connection is already in compliance with relevant standards requirements.
And the system grounding well, Grounding resistance for the whole system
security has decisive significance, so it must be sure that grounding
resistance comply with the requirements before commissioning.

30


Note!
Be sure that all the switches are at off position both at ac/dc side,
before commissioning.

7.2 Checking
PV modules
Check each PV string voltage. PV voltage will be changed as PV modules
temperature variable. When parallel with other strings, voltage change will
harm to the strings when the parallel ones voltage is not the same, so record
the voltage is very important. Accurately record all values (voltage,
temperature and radiation) will be very useful to maintenance. Ensure correct
polarity. Wrong polarity can also lead to module seriously damaged. Use
megger to measure the insulation resistance at the input cable of the inverter.

Danger !
Be careful, High voltage on DC input may harm to person!

Inverter check
Please check as the following steps before power up the inverter:
step1follow 6.3 Installation checklist;
step2be sure both DC and AC switch off;
step3be sure emergency stop button release
Voltage check
check the grid voltage
-Be sure phase sequence correct;
-Be sure each phase of grid voltage is in range, and make the record.
-Measure the grid THD (Total harmonic distortion), and make the record.
check the DC input voltage
31


32

DC input should be connect from combiner box or distribution cabinet
- Be sure the DC polarity correct.
- Measure each PV string voltage and make the record, be sure the string
voltage no more than 880V.
