General Introduction
2 Product Introduction
Inverter for Grid-tied PV Systems
CPS 3-Phase String Inverters SCH275KTL-DO/US-800 series are designed for use
with an UNGROUNDED PV array in Commercial and Utility scale PV grid-tied
systems. The system is generally made up of PV modules, PV inverter and AC power
distribution equipment, as shown in Figure 2-1. The inverter converts the available
DC energy from the PV modules to AC power by synchronizing the output current to
the same frequency and phase as the AC grid. All or part of the AC power is supplied
to local loads, and the surplus power is exported to the electric utility grid.

IMPORTANT!
SCH275KTL-DO/US-800 inverter has 36 input (fused) and 24 input
(unfused) versions. Both of these versions have similar appearance, similar
dimensions and their mounting procedures are also the same. However,
their DC connection methods and communication methods are different,
hence will be introduced separately in the following contexts.
Product Features
High conversion efficiency: Advanced 3-level conversion technology with

Space-Vector PWM; Max. efficiency: 99%; CEC efficiency: 98.5%.
Grid adaptability: Selectable grid standards: IEEE 1547-2018, CA Rule 21,
ISO-NE, and HECO; Reactive power; PF value: ±0.8, and optional local or
remote Active Power Curtailment.
Flexible communication: Supports standard CPS Modbus RS485, SunSpec
Modbus, Ethernet TCP/IP, and AC-PLC communications to ensure compatibility
with 3rd party monitoring and control systems. The FlexOM gateway card
enables further command/control as well as remote firmware upgrades.
(FlexOM gateway card is an optional accessory. Refer to FlexOM gateway card
manual for further detailed information.)
Wide DC input voltage range: Operating DC Input Voltage Range: 500-
1450Vdc; Max DC input voltage: 1500Vdc.

Smart Inverter Functions and Default Activation

The CPS SCH275KTL-DO/US-800 3-Phase String Inverters employ Smart Inverter
(Grid Support) functions in compliance with UL 1741-SA8-SA18 and UL1741-SB
standards. The default activation status is indicated below.

Table 2-1 Smart inverter functions and default activation
Anti-islanding Detection
The inverter includes Anti-Islanding detection as required by UL1741/IEEE1547. The
inverter will continuously make bi-directional perturbations to the frequency of the
output current by injecting a small amount of reactive power in order to detect a
possible islanding condition. If the grid is stable, these small perturbations will have
negligible effects on the system voltage frequency. However, in an islanded condition
the changes in reactive power will force the frequency of the system voltage to deviate
15 / 98
significantly, which will trigger the inverter to cease operation and disconnect from the
grid.
DC Ground Fault Protection

The inverters include residual current detection GFCI as part of the DC ground fault
detection method required by UL 1741. If there is a ground fault in the PV array, the
ground fault detection circuitry will detect leakage current, trigger an alarm, and the
inverter will cease operation. See Chapter 6 for further information regarding GFCI
Static and Dynamic trip thresholds and operation.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Check that the product environmental specifications (protection degree,
operating temperature range, humidity and altitude, etc.) meet the requirements
of the specific project location.
Make sure that the power grid voltage is within the normal range of the Grid
Code chosen.
Ensure that you have been authorized by the local electricity supply authority to
connect to the grid.
Installation personnel must be qualified electricians or those who have received
professional training.
Wear and use proper PPE (personal protective equipment) during installation.
Sufficient space must be provided to allow the inverter cooling system to operate
normally.
Install the inverter away from flammable and explosive substances.
18 / 98
Make sure the installation condition doesn’t exceed the temperature limits
specified for the inverter, to prevent undesirable power loss.
Do not install the inverter near an electromagnetic source which can
compromise the normal operation of electronic equipment.
The PV Array is not grounded (floating).
The conduits entries meet the following:
ALL Conduit Entries must use water-tight fittings.
ALL Conduit Entries should use sealant around wires inside wire-compartment to
prevent moisture ingress.
Metal Conduit Fittings are recommended to prevent propagation.
For detailed specification ranges and limits, see Chapter 9.
NOTICE: The allowable ambient temperature ranges for the CPS

SCH275KTL-DO/US-800 3-Phase String Inverters are defined based
on the following conditions:
Condition 1: -40°C to 70°C, Inverter not installed, and in storage (in

packaging or unpackaged).
Condition 2: -30°C to 60°C, Inverter installed, connected to electric
utility grid and operating during daylight hours.
Condition 3: No low temp limit to 70°C, Inverter installed, connected to
electric utility grid but non-operating (daylight or nighttime hours).
NOTICE:
Outdoor Installations for Extended Periods without Power
CPS advises against leaving inverters mounted

outdoors for an extended period of time (more than 90
days) and/or allowing inverters exposed to cycles of
freezing temperature without both DC and AC power
connected to the inverters under normal operation.
The CPS inverter enclosures are designed to conform

to NEMA4 (or IP65), however there exists the
possibility of water condensation inside the inverter
19 / 98
enclosure when it is left exposed to an outdoor
environment without power to operate for an extended
period of time. Moisture in the air could enter the
inverter during the time that the cover is opened for
wiring purposes. When the inverter is exposed to
temperature swings, especially in cold weather,
moisture inside the inverter could condense over the
aluminum heatsink area where inverter
semiconductors are mounted. Water droplets on the
heatsink may cause a short-circuit to live
semiconductor devices. When the PV source is
applied to the inverter, this PV power source could
cause the inverter to fail and result in a short-circuit
across the PV array.
If such a situation in which the inverter is mounted

outdoors without operating power occurs, CPS
recommends that the inverter be inspected for water
condensation before any DC or AC power can be
applied to inverter. Without inspection, customers will
run the risk of having inverter electronic circuit damage
when power is applied to inverter during startup. It is
advised that customers contact CPS for further advice
and to arrange schedule for CPS service personnel to
perform inspection of inverter on site.

NOTES:
• Transformer short-circuit impedance (Z%) should be less than 6%.

• The transformer VA rating should be at least 100% of the sum of the
connected inverter VA ratings.
• CPS recommends the transformer VA rating be selected based on IEEE
C57.159-2016 Guide on Transformers for application in Distributed
Photovoltaic (DPV) Power Generation Systems. It is the responsibility of the
system designer to determine and take into account the reliability of the

transformer and other system parameters.

• The transformer does not require a static shield.
• Up to 20 inverters may be connected in parallel for use with a single
transformer.
• The recommended maximum voltage-drop on the Inverter to Point of
Common Coupling (to the grid) is 2% at full load – including conductor
temperature considerations. Voltage drop greater than 2% may require
changing the transformer tap or as last resort adjusting the GridMaxVolt trip
point settings.
4.1.5 DC Wiring
DC fuse configuration
The 36 input inverter version includes touch safe fuse holders and preinstalled 20A
DC fuses. Customers must verify that the appropriate fuses are installed depending
on the configuration of PV array and by performing PV fuse sizing calculations for
each string.
Each MPPT DC input from the PV that has more than 2 strings requires fuse
protection.
The rated voltage of the fuse should be 1500VDC. ADLER series 1500VDC fuse
are recommended.
The ampere rating of the fuse is generally selected as 1.56 × module Isc of the
PV string. Refer to NEC 690.8 for Circuit Sizing and Current requirements.
The following table lists the names, types and specifications of ADLER series fuses,
which are within the rated voltage of PV modules.
Names 20A fuses 25A fuses 30A fuses

Table 4-6 DC Fuse selection
WARNING!
Replace only with the same ratings and type of fuses.
Different fuses or incorrectly sized fuses could result in equipment
damage or unsafe working conditions.
Any damage resulting from incompatible fuses is not covered by
warranty.
34 / 98
Commissioning
CAUTION!
Disconnect all power sources before replacing fuses.
DC Cable Connection
To ensure the optimum performance of the inverter, please read the following
guidelines before performing any DC connections:
Confirm the DC configuration and ensure that the maximum open circuit voltage
of the PV modules is lower than 1500VDC under any conditions.
Confirm that the PV modules for each MPPT within the inverter are of the same
type and specification before connection.
Ensure correct polarity of the PV strings before terminating the DC cables
according to the following steps, as shown in figure 4-8:
i. Use a multi-meter to measure the PV strings’ cable ends and check
the polarity.
ii. The positive (+) terminal of cable should match the positive (+)
terminal of inverter’s DC input.
iii. The negative (-) terminal of cable should match the negative (-)
terminal of inverter’s DC input.
Figure 4-8 Polarity Check
NOTICE!
It is important to use a multi-meter to check the polarity of the DC input
cables to avoid any risk of reverse polarity.
35 / 98
Commissioning
WARNING!
A reversed string is extremely hazardous and will result in a blown fuse
when the irradiation is high.
The voltage across the blown fuse can be as much as two times Voc and
could prevent proper fuse operation resulting in a fire.
Perform cable connection as per the following steps:

1. Remove the liquid-tight hole plugs from the DC input of the wiring box and
install 2 inch Trade Size conduit and conduit fittings into the holes. If the
use of smaller conduit is desired, proper weather-tight reducing bushings
may be installed. Confirm all fittings are NEMA 4X rated, properly
tightened, and route the cables through the conduit into the wiring
compartment.
2. Connect the DC cables to the fuse holders of 36 input inverter as shown
in Figure 4-9a; or connect to the DC terminals of 24 input inverter as
shown in Figure 4-9b, and then tighten the screws.

NOTICE!
To maximize production, reduce clipping losses, and optimize thermal
performance, the DC input power should be distributed across all 12
MPPTs as evenly as possible (e.g. difference in number of strings per
MPPT not larger than 1.)

4.1.7 Communication Connection

The inverter supports industry standard Modbus RS485, Ethernet, and AC-PLC
communication modes. AC-PLC communication requires connection of the CPS AC-
PLC Kit accessory.
RS485 Communication Schematic Diagram

Connect RS485 communication cables with the help of 6-pin terminal to 485
communication module, referring to figure 4-11 (1) for a single inverter RS485
communication connection and figure 4-11 (2) for network configuration. (Wiring
methods of new and old communication boards are the same, here we take the new
one for instance as below).
Figure 4-11 RS485 communication cable connection
It is recommended that industrial grade shielded twisted pair RS485 cable be used in
lieu of unshielded twisted pair. Communication cable such as (CAT5e) or Belden
3106A cable for RS485 6-pin connector is preferred.

Commissioning
RS485 Network Connection

When the inverters are monitored via the RS485 communication, a unique RS485
address for each inverter can be set up through the APP interface. Up to 32 inverters
can be connected in a serial fashion in the RS485 communication network. Therefore,
the daisy-chain topology (see Figure 4-12) is recommended for the RS485 network
connection, which can minimize the noise and bus reflections. Other communication
topologies, such as the star networks, are not recommended.
Figure 4-12 RS485 Network Connection
If there are multiple inverters in the RS485 network and the last inverter is more than
200 m distant from data logger, the selector switch S2 of the last inverter in the daisy-
chain should be in ON position, to enable the 120ohm terminal resistor. The selector
switch S2 of all other inverters should be in the OFF position to disable the terminal
resistor.
It is important to daisy chain the inverter RS485 connections to minimize noise and
bus collisions. All RS485 connections must be terminated in a serial fashion and not
to exceed 32 in total. Daisy Chain configuration is recommended.
DANGER!
Make sure all DC and AC power has been disconnected before opening
the wire box and ensure that hazardous high voltage and power has been
discharged to avoid risk of electric shock.
Wait at least 5 minutes after disconnecting from the DC and AC sources
before servicing or maintaining the inverter.

Communication Wiring
The detailed steps to perform the communication wiring for a single inverter or a
network of inverters are as follows:
1. Open the inverter wire box.
2. Insert the communication cables into the wire box through the knockout
holes at the bottom. Conduit and knockouts must be sealed and water-
tight to maintain the NEMA 4X rating.
3. Connect the RS485 wires to their corresponding connectors, ensuring
correct polarity and using a shielded twisted pair cable.
4. (a). If the inverter is the last Modbus device in the daisy chain and it’s
more than 200m distant from data logger, make sure the Modbus
termination switch S2/ LEFT S150 is in the ON position to enable Modbus
termination; while all other switches shall be in the OFF position.
(b). If there is only one inverter and it’s more than 200m distant from data
logger, the Modbus termination switch should also be set to ON, otherwise,
it can be set as OFF.
5. The shield of the individual cables must be open (not connected to ground)
on one end – the other end of the shield must be grounded.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this installation practice will increase lightning surge
damage to the inverter and will void the warranty.

Command
In the Command interface, you can access the following information:
Figure 6-12 Commands interface

Force Restart: If a fault shutdown happens, a severe fault may have occurred
inside the inverter. The user can perform a force reboot for one time per Power
On in this menu if the user needs to restart the inverter.
68 / 98
Factory Defaults: The manufacturer’s parameter default values can be

restored when the inverter is not in operation mode. Otherwise a “Fault
Operated” alarm will be indicated.
AutoTest: Only for Italian Grid Code.
MPPT Scan: This function is used to manually execute the MPPT scan. The
device screen will skip to normal operation interface if the MPPT scanning
succeeds or remain on the interface if the scanning fails.
MPPT scan function is used for multi-MPP tracking, and is useful if the PV
modules are partly shadowed or installed with different angles. The factory
setting of MPPT Scan is Enabled, yet can also be set to Disabled. When the
MPPT scan function is enabled, the scan period is 60 minutes.
The inverter will scan the maximum power point in the MPPT range, according
to the following conditions：
The total input power is lower than 90% of the active power.
Once this MPPT scan function is activated on the device, it will search the
maximum power point at a voltage step of 5V in the MPPT range for full load,
and retrieve the maximum power point.

running, the AC circuit breaker connected to the grid and the PV input on
the DC side shall be all disconnected, and then wait at least 5 minutes
before starting any operation.
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not perform other servicing other
than those specified in the operation instructions unless you are qualified
to do so.
Check Electrical Connections

Check all the cable connections as a regular maintenance inspection every 6
months or once a year.
Check the cable connections. If loose, please tighten all the cables acc. to
section 4.5 Electrical Cable Connection.
Check for cable damage, especially whether the cable surface is scratched or
smooth. Repair or replace the cables if necessary.
Clean the Air Vent Filter
The inverter can become hot during normal operation. Inverter uses built-in cooling
fans to provide sufficient air flow to help with heat dissipation.
In order to ensure good ventilation and heat dissipation of the inverter, it is necessary
to check the air inlet and outlet regularly.
Ensure that air inlets and outlets are not blocked and clean the vent with soft brush
or vacuum cleaner if necessary.
Replace the Cooling Fans
If the internal temperature of the inverter is too high or abnormal noise is heard
assuming the air vent is not blocked and is clean, it may be necessary to replace the
external fans.
IMPORTANT!
Please disconnect the AC & DC power before replacing the fans.
Refer to Figure 8-1 for replacing the cooling fans.

1. Use a No.2 Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 8 screws fixing the
fan tray.
