Notes.
1、The maximum input voltage is the maximum voltage that the PV input side of the converter
can withstand. Input voltage exceeding this voltage may damage the converter.
2、If the input voltage is not in the working voltage range, the inverter will not work properly.
3、This function is related to the power distribution system, the default is not enabled; customers
can set the enable or disable, and the compensation direction according to their needs.
Technical description
Principle Description
The DC-DC boost converter will decide whether to connect to the energy storage system according to
the strength of the PV module, when the PV module energy is weak, the DC-DC boost converter will
disconnect from the energy storage system due to the PV input undervoltage, and other components of the
energy storage system will realize energy deployment; when the PV module energy is strong, it will reach

~12~
the starting voltage of the DC-DC boost converter, and the PV open circuit voltage is within the MPPT
operation range. At this time, the DC-DC booster converter is normally connected to the energy storage
system, and the DC-DC booster converter can start working to raise the DC bus voltage to the normal
operating range of the energy storage converter, and MPPT control is performed according to the energy
strength of the PV module at this time. It can realize the conversion from wide input range to low output
range.
Function Description
Thefunctions of the PDS1-45K/PDS1-60K can be basically summarized as follows.
PV power boost control: The DC-DCboost converter can beconnected to the bus side of the DC of the
energy storage converter to realize PV access through MPPT boost, which can transmit PV power to the
battery for charging and also send PV power to the grid.
Data storage: DC-DC boost converter stores operation information, operation records, fault records and
other information.
Communication function.
⚫The standard RS485 interface can be connected to the energy storage converter for remote
control, remote upgrade and other functions.
⚫Standard RS485, CAN interface, etc. can be used to connect with other devices (reserved,
function not yet open).
Protection functions.
⚫Overcurrent protection
⚫Overload protection
⚫PV short-circuit protection
⚫PV reverse connection protection
⚫Bus bar reverse connection protection
⚫Environmental over-temperature protection
⚫Power module over-temperature protection
⚫Earth leakage current monitoring
⚫Insulation impedance detection and protection
⚫Photovoltaic voltage monitoring
⚫Busbar voltage monitoring
⚫Fan fault protection
⚫Communication timeout protection
⚫Bus bar electric switch fault protection
Derating
Derating of the converter is done to avoid overloading of the converter or to suppress potential faults.

~13~
The converter may be derated under the following operating conditions.
⚫Excessive internal temperature (both ambient and module temperature)
⚫Low photovoltaic voltage
⚫Remote power scheduling
Over-temperature derating
High ambient temperature and poor air duct will cause the converter to derate. Over-temperature
derating regulation is as follows.
⚫When the power device temperature reaches the upper limit, the converter will actively reduce the
input and output power until the power device temperature returns to the normal range, and then
the converter will gradually increase to the set value.
⚫When the ambient temperature inside the machine exceeds the upper limit, the converter will
automatically stop and power off to protect the safety of the machine itself.
The lower limit of over-temperature derating is about 70% of the rated power. If the derating reaches
the lower limit and still does not improve the temperature, the converter will automatically shut down.
PV under-voltage derating
If the PV voltage does not reach the lower limit point of the full-load MPPT operation range, the DC-
DC boost converter cannot output the rated power at this time, and the PV output current is limited to
the specified range by derating.
