1． Overview of PCS (Power Conditioner)

1.1　Equipment overview
Outline
“HIVERTER-NP201i” is a power conditioner (hereinafter “PCS”) to convert DC power generated by
photovoltaic arrays (hereinafter “PV arrays”) into suitable AC power for grid use.
Whenever photovoltaic energy is available while voltage and frequency in grid are in order, the PCS feeds AC
power to grid.
When the photovoltaic energy or voltage is not sufficient due to low solar radiation, the PCS will turn off
automatically. With recovery of the photovoltaic energy, the PCS will be turned on automatically.
When voltage or frequency or both in the grid become out of order, the PCS will turn off, and at the same time the
AC line switch will open to isolate the PCS from the grid. When voltage and frequency in the grid are recovered,
the PCS would be reconnected to grid and start operation automatically or manually.
Characteristic
・ The PCS consists of an inverter for converting photovoltaic energy into suitable AC power for grid use.

1.3 Operation Status of PCS

In the PCS, operational status are defined as “GB cancel “ and “Failure” and “Standby” and “Interconnected
operation” and “stopping” separately. Definition of the operational status of PCS is explained following.
Fig. 1.4　Configuration of the PCS circuit
1.3.1 GB (Gate block) cancel

This status is that the inverter of the PCS is switching.
1.3.2 System abnormal

This status is that an out of range voltage, frequency or other in system of PCS are detected. In this status, the inverter
do not be switching, so power conversion can not be done by the inverter.
1.3.3 Failure
This status is that the PCS is detecting “Heavy failure” or “Light failure”. In case that “Heavy failure” is detected,
this status will have been keeping until reset switch is pushed after removing factors of the failure.
1.3.4 Standby
This status is that the “42A, B” switches on AC line are on and the inverter do not switching and the “72” switch on
DC line is off. In this status, the power conversion does not be done. However when a necessary condition for power
conversion is established in this state, this status will shift to the next status “Interconnected operation” automatically.
1.3.5 Interconnected operation

This status is that a necessary condition for power conversion is established and “42A, B” switches and “72” switch
are on and the inverter starts switching. In this status, electric power generated by photovoltaic arrays is converted
into suitable AC power for grid use.
1.3.6 Stop
The status is neither “Standby” nor “Operating”. In this status, power conversion does take place.

1.4 Operation history memory function

The PCS has functions which record PCS operation history in order to search for the reason of failures. There are 4
kinds of memory for recording PCS operation history. However ways for checking and removing data of each
memory is different.

1.4.1 Present failure memory

In case that “Failure” or “System abnormal” occurs, content of “Failure” will be recorded in the present failure
memory and you can check the content by touching the “Failure content” on LCD. When “System abnormal” occurs,
you can also check the content by touching the “Failure content” on LCD. Maximum number of recordable items in
this memory is 128.
The content of “Failure” will be removed by operating “Failure reset” switches on PCS in the state that “Switching of
operating mode” switch is turned to “Setup of normal” side.
The content of “System abnormal” will be removed automatically after recovering from abnormal status of system in
the state that “LCD Setting System abnormal reset” switch is turned to “Automatic operation”. If this switch is turned
to “Manual operation” side, it is necessary for you to push the “System abnormal reset” switch for removing.
The purpose of this memory is to search a reason for the latest failures and to prevent PCS from restarting
automatically. And in case of “Heavy failure, you firstly need to do the reset operation for restarting after removing
all reasons of the failure”

very dangerous. The equipment is damaged when a wrong
repair is done, and there is a possibility to get an electric shock, and to sustain severe injuries besides.
Please contact our company when repair is necessary.
The failures of PCS are classified into three types, "Light failure", " Heavy failure " and "System abnormal".
☆Light failure : Even if this failure occurs, the PCS can continue operation and will not stop operation.
☆Heavy failure : If this failure occurs, the PCS will stop operation.
☆System abnormal : If the PCS detect abnormal states of system, the PCS will stop operation.
After recovering from the abnormal states, the PCS will restart operation.
In case that these failure occurs, you will know by buzzer sound and displayed message on the LCD indicator
and please operate according to following process.

(1) Confirmation of the failure type

A type of failure displays in the LCD such as “Heavy failure”, “Light failure”, or “System abnormal”, and then
please records the type of failure.
(2) Confirmation of failure content Fig. 4.1　Confirmation of failure type
Please touch the “failure content” button on this screen and record all of messages and displayed time in next
screen.
(3) Estimation of the failure factor Fig. 4.2　Confirmation failure content
Please check the failure factor is internal or external of the PCS. See Table 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3.
(4) Removing of failure factor (only when factors of failure come from external of the PCS)
Please remove failure factor by the removing process that is showned in Table 4.4, Table 4.5, and Table 4.6.
(Please contact us in case that the factor is internal of the PCS or the factor cannot be specified.)

(5) Failure reset (only after all factors of failure have been removed).
Please push "Failure reset" SW for reseting the failure and check that the displayed messages about failure
disappear on the operation status display screen.
