SPECIFICATIONS
Specications
The 3-phase GivEnergy Hybrid Inverter is a battery
inverter and solar inverter in one unit, meaning
that the battery is AC and DC coupled.
It can be coupled directly with solar panels to
generate usable electricity in the property, as well
as store any excess energy in the battery for later
use. It features easy plug and play installation and
on / o grid phase balancing. Additionally , it will
minimise import by discharging to meet demand in
the property with a discharge rate of up to 11kW.
The unit can also be used as an AC coupled
alongside existing solar installations.

Unit Information
The 3-Phase Hybrid Inverter is a battery inverter and PV inverter in one. It is bi-directional, meaning it
can charge from the grid (AC coupled) and from solar (DC coupled). It can also charge from existing solar
installations.

The unit must be stored in its original packaging at temperatures between 25ºC - 60ºC.
Do not stack more than 4 units on top of each other.
If any damaged or missing parts are found, please contact GivEnergy on 01377 252 874 or email
[e-mail] immediately. Returns must be provided in original or equivalent packaging. The
cardboard packaging is recyclable.

Do not install in direct sunlight or near water sources
Mount the inverter at least 3 feet above ground level (outside only)
The inverter must be installed in an easily accessible location, the status display
must be visible and not obstructed
Please ensure that the wall to be mounted on is sucient enough to hold the weight
of the inverter and battery pack
The inverter must be installed in a well ventilated area with 30cm clearance
around it, free of any obstacles. The ambient temperature should be below 40ºC
to ensure optimal operation
The inverter must be installed vertically with connections always positioned at the
bottom, never install horizontally, and avoid tilting the unit
Extra care and attention must be taken when installing and maintaining any GivEnergy equipment.
The system is capable of retaining a high voltage, even when disconnected.
Safety Instructions
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
All electrical installations must be carried out by a qualied and registered electrician and in accordance
with local wiring regulations
During operation, the heat sink may become hot. Do not touch the heat sink at the sides, or the top
of the inverter when in operation
The inverter is designed to be connected to the grid; connecting your inverter to a generator or
other power source can result in damage to the inverter or external devices
All GivEnergy equipment must be installed by a GivEnergy Approved Installer
If there are any damaged or missing parts, please contact the distributor immediately. Returns must be
provided in original or equivalent packaging
If you suspect something is wrong with the inverter, contact GivEnergy on 01377 252 874 or email
[e-mail]

Precautions
Only GivEnergy supplied battery cables must be used
Only GivEnergy batteries should be connected to our inverters
Reversed polarity may damage the inverter
Please ensure that there is sucient space and ventilation around the inverter and battery before
installation.
The bracket is attached to the inverter when in the box. Take o the 2 bolts at the bottom to remove
the bracket.
Wall thickness should be suitable to hold the weight of the inverter. Place the wall mounting bracket
horizontally onto the wall and mark the position for the bracket holes.
Note: Take into consideration that batteries may be added at a later date. To allow for this, hang
the inverter higher to ensure there is enough space.
If installing the products outside: make sure the products are not in direct sunlight, and are
situated in a location where the inverter remains within operating temperatures. This is to ensure
the unit remains fully functional.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION

4. Drill 5 holes at the marked positions, at least 75mm deep. Fix the mounting bracket to the wall using
5 x M6x50 expansion bolts.
Please note: If tting the inverter to a non-masonry wall, dierent xings will be required.
Mount the inverter onto the mounting bracket.
5.
6.
Remove the bottom cover. Remove the 2 screws on the bottom of the inverter with the Allen key. Pull
down the bottom cover and push the grommet out of the way.
7.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
Make sure the DC PV isolator is switched OFF.
Wiring
For easy installation, you can take out the lever arch plug.
8.
8.
Insert the 2 x M4 safety locking screws on the left and right side to prevent the inverter from being
lifted o the bracket.
a. Lift up the lever
b. Connect the correct conductor to the corresponding lever
c. Put the lever arch plug back into the inverter
You must install a separate AC circuit-breaker per inverter in order to ensure that it is adequately protected
and can be safely disconnected under load. Please follow local legislation.

To connect the AC connector:
To connect the meter connections:
The PP cable will also need to have a grommet. If installing a battery, remove the PP cable from the
HV installation kit. To connect the PP cable to the inverter, make sure to use the right end of the cable.
The grommet end is the inverter end.
a. Connect the cables to their respective connection ports
a. Push and hold the orange tab
a. Pull down the red tab
c. Push the red tab back in
b. Cut a hole in the cable grommet
b. Plug in the cable
b. Push the connector into the socket until it clicks
d. Check that the grommet is positioned correctly
c. Release the orange tab
c. Put the saddles over the cables to ensure they stay where they are
d. Pull the cable slightly to ensure it is secure
d. For the LAN cable, make a cut down the middle of the grommet and place back in
its original position

Test polarity of the PV cables.
4G Dongle. Adjust all dipswitches to o and place the dongle into the USB port under the inverter.
Use the securing screws to secure in place.
Replace the bottom front cover by sliding it up from the bottom of the inverter. Make sure that all of
the grommets are seated properly. Replace the 2 securing bolts under the inverter, taking care not to
overtighten.
Note: Everything is currently isolated and the inverter is not yet live.
There must be adequate clearance around the inverter to allow for heat dissipation. The diagram
below illustrates the space required around the inverter.
When maintaining and cleaning the inverter, the whole system must be powered down. Clean with a soft
cloth with a light detergent if needed.
To ensure your inverter operates optimally at all times, annual maintenance checks need to be carried out.
Check for visible damage or discolouration of the switch, and that the cables are intact. Please ensure that
the top of the inverter is not obstructed in any way.
We recommend operating the rotary isolator from ON to OFF 5 times, this cleans the contacts of the rotary
switch.

Cable size requirements for the 3-Phase Hybrid Inverter are dependent on the model and the legislation of
the country it is being installed.:
The installer must calculate the size of cable needed based on the legislation and cable run length.
AC UTILITY GRID CONNECTION
3HY 6.0 - minimum 4mm² - 16mm²
3HY 10.0 - minimum 4mm² -16mm²
3HY 8.0 - minimum 4mm² -16mm²
3HY 11.0 - minimum 4mm² - 16mm²
CONNECTING TO THE EPS
The Emergency Power Supply (EPS) can provide a maximum output power of up to 11000W during a grid
failure. This output must be protected as close to the inverter as possible, with a double pole 30mA RCD
rated at up to 20A.
There are four approved methods to connect to the EPS, please refer to the EPS Connection Guide on our
Knowledge Base for more information.
If the backup terminals are used, please ensure the following:
The EPS MAX output power is 11000W. If the EPS goes over its max output, the
inverter will go into fault. The EPS output will only operate when the battery(s)
have capacity available.
Any other grid tied generation must be supplied from the grid side of the
changeover switch to avoid damage to the inverter, and void in warranty (see
the following diagrams for reference).
Backup
connection
terminals
An earth rod must be installed and connected to the main earthing terminal, as close to the origin of supply
as possible, and adequate overload / short circuit protection must be installed in accordance with the local
wiring regulations.

CONNECTING GRID METER TO INVERTER
In the system, a mid approved meter must be installed to ensure correct monitoring of the grid power. The
inverter uses this information to decide whether to charge or discharge the battery.
The CT clamps connected to the mid approved meter must be installed around the live incoming supply
to the property, with the arrow pointing in the direction of grid import, in order to monitor the complete
consumption of the building.
For further information, please refer to the meter guide on the Knowledge Base.
