It is recommended to have a disconnection device for protection between battery system
and inverter:
1. The rated voltage shall ≥60V DC. Do NOT use AC breaker.
2. The rated current shall match with system design:
shall consider:
• the maximum DC current on inverter side,
• the number of power cable: for instance, if only one pair of 25mm2 cable, the rated
current of breaker shall be 125A or smaller.
3. If using breaker, the type shall be type C (recommended) or type D.
The Icu required:
the maximum short circuit current for calculation of each module is 6500A.
For instance:
Icu of breaker
1~2 modules Must ≥15kA
3~8 modules Must ≥20kA
19

5.7 Power on
Double check all the power cable and communication cable between batteries and betwe-
en battery and inverter. Switch ON the disconnection device between battery and inverter if
available.
For L5.1:
1. The one with empty Link A is the Master Battery Module, others are slaves
(1 master battery congure with maximum 31 slave batteries):
2. Press the black SW button of master battery to power on, all the battery LED light
will be on one by one from the Master battery:
Note:
1. After the battery module powered on, the soft-start function takes 3sec to active.
After soft-starts battery ready to output high power.
2. During capacity expansion or replacement, when parallel different SOC/voltage of
module together, it is recommended to maintain the system in idle for ≥15mins or
till the SOC LEDs becomes similar (≤1dot difference) before normal operation.
5.8 Power off
1. Turn external power source off.
2. Press black SW switch of master battery. Then all batteries will off.
3. Switch OFF the disconnection device between battery system and inverter, if avail-
