- Position the bracket
07
so that it is level on the wall or pole
- It is the installer’s responsibility to choose an appropriate
number and distribution of attachment points. The
choice must be based on the type of wall, frame or other
support, the type of anchors to be used, and their ability
to support 4 times the inverter’s weight (4x33lbs=132lbs
for all models).
Depending on the type and number of attachment points,
drill the required holes to mount the bracket (see gure
detail
A
)
- Secure the bracket to the wall or frame
- If needed, make conduit cutouts in the wiring box chassis,
before the wiring box is put on the wall
- Carefully lift the inverter and hook it onto the bracket by insert-
ing the two supports in the slots on the inverter (Figure
B
).
- Proceed to anchor the inverter to the bracket by installing
the two (one each side) locking screws (Figure
B1
).
If on the bracket are present the lateral lock springs, pro-
ceed to lock the inverter by pressing the lower part toward
the wall or structure until the two springs on the bracket set
the inverter in position (Figure
B2
).
- Secure the inverter chassis bottom ange to the mounting
surface using another screw (see Figure detail
C
). Note
that the bottom ange is not a load-bearing component.

Conrm the correct polarity in the input strings.
Conrm there is no ground leakage current in the PV array.
When exposed to sunlight, the PV panels supply DC direct voltage to the inverter.
The inverter’s DC switch disconnects the DC current from the PV panels. In the “OFF” position the inverter will stop producing power, but
DOES NOT disconnect the AC from the grid. To prevent electrocution hazards, all the connection operations must be carried out with the
external AC disconnect switch, downstream of the inverter (grid side), open and locked out.
The transformerless design requires that the PV array to be oating with respect to ground per NEC 690.35.
DC PV string wire must be listed PV wire per NEC 690.35 rated minimum 600V.
PV output conductors (wiring) must consist of sheathed (jacketed) multi-conductor cables or single insulated conductors (wires) which
must be installed in an approved raceway. These conductors must be isolated from the enclosure and system grounding, as required by
NEC 690.35. This is the responsibility of the installer.
Conrm that the maximum PV array short circuit current for each DC input channel is within the inverter specication (see table in Section
14). Array equipment grounding must be installed per the requirements of the NEC and is the responsibility of the installer. A conguration
program that can help to correctly size the photovoltaic system is available on at http://www.stringsizer.abb.com.
- Turn the DC switch OFF
- Loosen the four captive screws on the wiring box cover (Torx 20) and remove the cover
- Pass the DC wires through the openings dedicated to the DC conduit.
Conduit must be sealed using water-tight ttings to maintain NEMA Type 4X enclosure integrity.
Installer should follow conduit manufacturers’ guidelines and best practices.
- Connect the DC wiring to DC input terminal blocks
12
. DC wiring terminals are spring pressure type and accommodate a wire size range of 20-8 AWG.
Connect the strings in either independent or parallel mode, following the appropriate set of instructions below:
Independent mode conguration Parallel mode conguration
In case of two PV arrays, if each of them has a current rating lower than the
maximum current rating for a single inverter channel, they may be connected
as “IND” array, each with its own MPPT. In this case, do nothing with the
jumper wires which came with the inverters.
- Connect the positive side of the rst PV array to +IN1, and its negative side to -IN1.
- Connect the positive side of the second PV array to +IN2 and its negative side to -IN2.
Up to four strings can be connected in independent mode.
- During commissioning, conrm that the input mode is set to IND. The input
mode is set using the display menu. Settings>Input Mode>Independent.
If connecting a single array, congure the inverter for parallel input mode.
If a PV array’s output current is more than the rating for a single inverter
channel:
- connect the red jumper wire between the +IN1 and +IN2 terminal block
inputs. Then connect the jumper wire black wire between the -IN1 and -IN2
terminals. Remember later to set the input mode to PAR from the display
(Settings>Input Mode>Parallel).
- Connect the array to the IN1 (MPPT1) and IN2 (MPPT2) input positions,
running separate wires for positive (+) and negative (-) for each array.

NOTE: If a RSD device was istalled into the plant, it also will needed to connect the AC grid to allow
the inverter to power-up!
The installer must use an external rapid shutdown device compliant with the 2014 NEC.
Automatic shutdown occurs at the rooftop box when utility power is lost or when the PV system’s AC di-
sconnect switch is opened. In jurisdictions requiring a dedicated activation switch, install an emergency stop
button external to the inverter.
The wiring box has 24Vdc (0.4A max) on a spring-loaded terminal block to the left of the PV input area,
which is designed to be used to power a RSD device.
RSD wiring terminals accommodate a wire size range of 26-12 AWG.

The inverter is equipped with advanced grid support functionality that is useful to support reactive loads and also assist in reliable operation of the utility grid in
the presence of a large number of distributed energy generation sources. This section provides an overview of the available grid support functions.
The parameters related to the grid support functions that are in this inverter can be modied by:
- Accessing the embedded Web User Interface.
- Accessing to settings under the Service menu requires a time-limited password, which can be obtained by calling ABB solar inverter technical support at 1-877-261-1374.
1. Voltage ride-through
This inverter provides parameters to respond to undervoltage and overvoltage events. The inverter is designed to operate normally within the specied operating range.
If voltage excursions occur, the inverter is designed to continue operating normally or cease to export power for a specied delay. Beyond this programmed delay, the
inverter disconnects from the grid in the event of an abnormal voltage condition.
2. Frequency ride-through
This inverter provides parameters to respond to underfrequency and overfrequency events. If frequency excursions occur, the inverter is designed to continue opera-
ting normally for a specied delay. Beyond this programmed delay, the inverter disconnects from the grid in the event of an abnormal voltage condition.
3. Reactive power control
The inverter provides several modes of operation for reactive power control and are described below:
- Disable: This is the default setting. Under this setting, the inverter exports with a power factor of 1.0.
- Fixed power factor control (Cosɸ set): In this mode, the operator can set the output power factor to a xed value. When enabled, a new value will be set in the
inverter.
- Q Fixed (Q Set): Sets the reactive power to a xed value. When enabled, a new value will be set in the inverter.
- Power factor as function of output power (Watt/Cosφ Settings: Cosφ(P)): In this mode, the inverter reduces the power factor (cos-phi) as a function of the output
power at a given operating point. The 4 points of the default curve, where you can set the % of Pmax values and related cos-phi, can be modied using the internal
Webserver. When enabled, the curve will be set in the inverter.
- Dynamic Volt/VAR control (Volt/VAr Settings: Q(V)): Under this mode, the level of reactive power exported by the inverter is a function of the operating grid voltage,
also known as a Volt/VAR curve. The 4 points of the default curve, where you can set the % of Vnom values and related % of Smax, can be modied using the
internal Webserver. When enabled, the curve will be set in the inverter.
4. Active Power Control
This inverter offers several modes for active power reduction.
- Active Power Curtailment: Sets a new value of active power as % of Pmax. When enabled, a new value will be set in the inverter.
- CEI Average VGrid Derating (only italian grid standard): Sets, after a specic threshold, an active power derating based on the average of Vac on 10 minutes as per
CEI-021 italian grid standard.
- Volt/Watt settings: P(V). Under this mode, the level of active power exported by the inverter is a function of the operating grid voltage, also known as a Volt/Watt cur-
ve. The 4 points of the default curve, where you can set the % of Vnom values and related % of Pmax, can be modied using the internal Webserver. When enabled,
the curve will be set in the inverter.
- Frequency/Watt function (Frequency Control: P(f)): In this mode, the inverter limits the active power as a function of the grid frequency.
5. Ramp control
The inverter is designed to control the rate at which output power is increased, either at startup, or after a temporary low power condition on the PV array (such as fast
shading). The following ramp controls are provided on this inverter.
- Normal ramp: The normal ramp denes the maximum rate at which the inverter can increase the output power under normal operation. The normal ramp control
limits the uctuations in the output power in order to prevent instabilities on the utility grid.
- Soft start: The soft-start ramp denes the maximum rate at which the inverter can increase the output power when the inverter is rst starting up. This startup may
occur on a daily basis or when the inverter restarts after an abnormal grid event has ended.
Refer to the dedicaterd application note in the ABB Solar website for more details about the grid support functions.
The DC AFD fault circuit interrupter automatically runs a self test every morning when sunlight is sufcient for connection. The inverter display area shows the
results of the selftest:
- If the self-test results are OK, the inverter will continue with the AC grid connection.
- If a potential problem on the Arc Fault Detection (AFD) board is detected, the self-test will result in an error.
Press the ESC key to clear the error and start the restart selftest. If self-test results are OK, the inverter will reconnect to the AC grid.
If the DC arc fault is still present, the self test will result in error code E050.
Refer to the product manual which must be downloaded at www.abb.com/solarinverters for troubleshooting suggestions.
- During normal operation, the input current is continually measured and analyzed.
- If a DC arc fault is detected, the inverter is disconnected from the AC grid and error E050 will be displayed.
The AFD self-test can be manually started anytime using the following procedure:
1. Turn off the inverter (switching off both DC and AC switches) and,
2. Turn on both the DC and AC switches and wait for the self-test results on the display.

To prevent electrocution hazards, open and lock out the external AC disconnect switch before connecting the AC conductors, and any
time the AC wiring box cover is to be removed. Proper PPE is required.
AC output overcurrent protection is not provided with the inverter; it is the responsibility of the end user to provide overcurrent protec-
tion for the AC output circuit. To reduce the risk of re, connect only to a circuit provided with an overcurrent protection in accordance
with the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70). The inverter must be connected only to a dedicated branch circuit provided with the maximum branch
overcurrent protection device (OCPD) listed in the technical data sheet at the end of this document.
Size conductors per the NEC, Article 310 - use 90°C copper wire only; conductors must be sized according to operating temperature
range and continuous current ratings. The AC grid wiring is connected through the inverter switchbox.
AC output wire must be listed PV wire rated minimum 600V.
- Run an approved raceway between the inverter and external AC disconnect switch.
- Pass the AC wires throught the openings dedicated to the AC conduit.
When complete, seal conduit with water-tight ttings to maintain the NEMA type 4X enclosure rating.
Installer should follow conduit manufacturers’ guidelines and best practices.
- Determine which AC output is applicable for the inverter model being installed. The AC
wiring connections based on the AC grid type are shown in the table (also found on a label
in the wiring box).

Before proceeding with commissioning, make sure you have carried out all the operations and checks indicated in the previous sections of
this quick installation guides, and verify that the inverter cover
05
was properly closed!
Refer to the product manual for further information about the conguration and the use of the functionality of the internal Webserver.
Commissioning and conguration of the inverter can also be done with the display
07
. Consult the product manual for more information.
Commissioning and conguration of the inverter can be made using a wireless capable device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
The steps for commissioning are listed below:
1. Set the inverter’s DC disconnect switch
16
and any external DC switches to “ON” position: If the input voltage applied to one of the two input channels is
greater than the minimum starting voltage, the inverter will start up.
The inverter is powered ONLY by the voltage coming from the photovoltaic generator: the presence of grid voltage alone IS NOT SUFFI-
CIENT to allow the inverter to power up.
If a RSD device was istalled into the plant, it also will needed to connect the AC grid to allow the inverter to power-up!
2. Set the external AC disconnect switch downstream to the inverter to “ON” position.
3. Enable Wireless on the device that is being used for the inverter commissioning (tablet, smartphone or PC) and connect it to the Access Point created by the
inverter: a network with the name ABB-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX will appear in the list of networks, where “X” is a hex digit of the MAC address (MAC address
can be found on the “Wireless Identication Label” placed on the side of the inverter or previously applied to this quick installation guide - see cover page).
4. When prompted, type the “product key” (including the dashes. Example: 1234-1234-1234-1234) as the network password to access the inverter’s access
point. The product key is printed on the “wireless identication label”on the side of the inverter.
5. Open the internet browser (recommended browser: Chrome versions from v.55, Firefox versions from v.50, Safari versions from v.10.2.1) and enter the pre-
set IP address to access the conguration wizard page: 192.168.117.1
6. A conguration wizard will open, consisting of a sequence of steps in which all the required elds must be completed correctly (language of the wizard can be
selected in the upper status bar). The steps and information required by the conguration wizard are:
STEP 1 - Set the Administrator/User login credentials (minimum 8 character for password). User and password are CASE SENSITIVE.
STEP 2 (OPTIONAL) - Enter the required information (IP selection mode, SSID and Password) to connect the inverter to the residential wireless network
with “Station Mode” (Note: This step can be skipped to continue operating with the point-to-point connection “AP mode”). Once the inverter is connected to
the wireless network it will be necessary switch the tablet/smartphone/PC device to the same wireless network to which the inverter is connected to proceed
with the conguration wizard (for any difculties concerning this step, refer to the “Internal Webserver and wireless troubleshooting” chapter of the product
manual). Once the connection is acquired, a new message will provide you the links (corresponding to the IP Address assigned by the router to the inverter
and the “Host Name”) that can be used each time you want to access the internal webserver. TAKE NOTE OF THEM.
STEP 3 - Set the Date, Time and Time zone (The inverter will propose these elds when available).
STEP 4 - Set the inverter country standard, Input channel conguration and Meter conguration (if installed). Clicking the “END” button the wizard will be
completed (after conrmation the inverter will reboot).
From the moment that the grid standard is set, you have 24 hours to make any changes to the value, after which the “Country Select” func-
tionality is blocked and the remaining time will have to be reset in order to have the 24 hours of operation available again. To select a new
grid standard follow the procedure “Resetting the remaining time for grid standard variation” described in the product manual.
Any inverters installed, or commissioned, in California after September 8, 2017 must be set to the Rule 21 country code
USA - RULE21 @ 240 single [R21 240sp] or USA - RULE21 @ 208 single [R21 208si].
Once both AC and DC switches are closed and the wizard commissiong procedure is nished, the inverter starts the grid connection sequence: the inverter
performs the grid voltage check, measures the PV array insulation resistance against earth and carries out other self-diagnosis checks.
During the checks before the connection with the grid, the “Power” LED keeps ashing, the “Alarm” and “GFI” LEDs are off. If there is not sufcient sunlight to
connect to the grid, the inverter will repeat the connection procedure until all the parameters are within range.
If the preliminary checks for parallel connection to the grid are successful, the inverter connects to the grid and begins to export power to the grid.
The “Power” LED remains xed on while the “Alarm” and “GFI” LEDs are off.
