5.2 RISKS
Some of the risks posed by the equipment and general warnings which must ALWAYS be taken into account
are described below:
WARNING: CORRECT USE
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter by GAMESA – ELECTRIC is designed and
certified for exclusive use in industrial environments.
WARNING: PROCEED WITH EXTREME CARE
Read this installation manual and keep it for future reference. Before using the
Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter, read all instructions, caution markings and
other relevant sections of this manual. Failure to comply with these warnings could
lead to severe electric shock or even death. Proceed with extreme care at all times to
prevent accidents.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
The two capacitor bridges can store energy. Before performing any operation inside
it, open the DC switches and press the emergency stop button and always check
through the display that the dc bus not has voltage. Only qualified personnel are
authorised to perform maintenance operations.
Before handling the interior of the inverter, always check that there is no voltage on
the input terminals or the capacitor bridge. Open the doors or the covers of the
device only once it has been disconnected and discharged. Check that the device
does not register any DC voltage, including on the photovoltaic terminals.
If you wish to disconnect the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter from the low
voltage grid to perform any operation on it, check that it is stopped by pressing the
emergency switch as a safety measure and opening all of its switches. Switches
which may be present on the installation’s power supply panels must also be opened
so that no voltage is present on the AC and DC input terminals.
WARNING: CHECK FOR RECIRCULATIONS BEFORE HANDLING EARTH CONNECTIONS
If the earth configuration of the installation where the inverter is located is

unknown, it is advisable to check that no leakage currents are circulating from other
parts of the installation before handling the earth connection.
GD-237983 R2 12
CAUTION: ELECTROSTATIC DAMAGE
The electronic components of the inverter can be damaged by handling or if they are
charged with electrostatic energy. Discharge them through a ground potential before
handling them and wear suitable protective equipment.
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
The Power bridge module can explode if a serious operating fault occurs.
CAUTION: TRANSPORT DAMAGE
The equipment weighs approximately 1800 kg and should therefore be handled with
care when transporting it from the factory to the installation site. The doors must be
kept closed and secured, and the manufacturer’s indications must be followed.
WARNING: HOT SURFACES
When the inverter is operating or has recently been turned off, there may be high
temperature surfaces and components (fuses, transformers, filters, heatsinks, etc.…).
If it is necessary to work on these components, in addition to the safety measures
with respect to electrical risks, it is recommended to take adequate precautions
regarding to temperature.
5.3 EMERGENCY SWITCH

Activation of the emergency switch by pressing the red push-button disconnects the
inverter. It is not possible to begin operation while the switch is activated, meaning
that the emergency switch must be deactivated before the inverter can be used. Once
the switch is activated, it remains locked. Turn it through a quarter rotation to unlock
it. The unlock direction is indicated by arrows. This protection works at both the hardware and
software levels. When pressed, the circuit which energises the AC output contactors is inhibited,
preventing them from being closed, or it will open them immediately if they are closed. It also
sends a logic signal to the controller so that it acts appropriately in response to the alarm.

THE EMERGENCY SWITCH DOES NOT COMPLETELY ISOLATE THE EQUIPMENT FROM PARTS
UNDER VOLTAGE. IT ONLY DISCONNECTS IT FROM THE GRID AND STOPS ITS CURRENT
OPERATION. THE EQUIPMENT REMAINS ENERGISED FROM THE DC BUS AND THE
PHOTOVOLTAIC FIELD. TO ISOLATE IT COMPLETELY, THE ISOLATION PROCEDURE IN
SECTION 0, INVERTER CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE MUST BE
FOLLOWED.
GD-237983 R2 13
5.4 MANUAL SWITCHES

The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter has several manual switches located on its front
face for connecting and disconnecting the equipment from its AC and DC parts. The AC
switch electrically connects and disconnects the inverter’s AC output from the electrical grid.
The inverter includes 2 DCswitches. These switches electrically connect each of the DC
sections to their inverter input. Each of them has an indicator light. It is extremely important to understand
the meaning of the information provided by this indicator.
When the indicator is red:

- HANDLING THE SWITCHIS FORBIDDEN, irrespective of whether it is open or
closed. This situation occurs during generation operation, precharge operations and
certain alarm states.
When the indicator is green:
- HANDLING THE SWITCHIS PERMITTED, irrespective of whether it is open or
closed. Both opening and closing operations can be performed safely. This situation
occurs when the equipment is ready to open or close the corresponding switch
without posing a danger to the installation or user.
CAUTION: OVERCURRENT AND DISCONNECT SWITCHES
External overcurrent protection and external disconnect switches to the inverter, for
both AC and DC circuits, must be provided by the installer in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or other local regulations,if required.
WARNING: For continued protection against risk of fire, replace internal or external
fuses and switches with the same type and ratings.
WARNING: PROCEED WITH EXTREME CARE
If the switches are operated without regard for the state of their respective
indicators, some internal protections of the inverter or even the installation may be
activated. It is essential to operate the equipment’s switcheseonly during operations
when doing so is permitted.
WARNING: PARTS UNDER VOLTAGE WITH THE EQUIPMENT DISCHARGED
Even when the AC and all DC switches have been opened, parts in the interior of the
equipment will remain under voltage and discharge gradually. Wait for the period of
time recommended in this manual before opening the cabinet and performing any
operation inside. But even with the DC and AC switches open, AC and DC Voltage
continues to exist in the DC and AC supply terminals accordingly.
IMPORTANT: INVERTER ISOLATION PROCESS
GD-237983 R2 14
In order to deactivate the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter by disconnecting it

from both the electrical grid and the photovoltaic field, the procedure described in
section 0
INVERTER CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE must be performed.
IMPORTANT: PRECAUTIONS DURING MAINTENANCE OF PHOTOVOLTAIC FIELD
When the DC switches are closed, the correspondent DC LINK is coupled to the
photovoltaic panels. For example, when the inverter is turned OFF and the AC switch
is opened, if the DC switches are closed, DC voltage will be present in all the DC
wiring from the photovoltaic panels to the DC input and the DC Link of the inverter.
When maintenance tasks are done in the photovoltaic field take into account that
when disconnecting DC lines, the DC voltage of the DC Link will be present at the DC
lines if the DC Switches are left closed.
It is very important to check before connecting the photovoltaic fields that

the DC switches of the inverter are open. One possible scenario is to close the
photovoltaic field with a fuse or an external DC switch having forgotten to open the
DC Switches of the inverter. This situation could generate a failure of internal
components of the inverter or a failure in the Photovoltaic field itself.
It's highly recommended before doing any maintenance and commissioning

task in the photovoltaic field to check and open DC Switches of the inverter.

(*) Power derating is produced from 50 °C to 65 °C
The inverter is designed to work at ambient temperatures between -10°C and 50°C (from -20ºC with “Low
temperature kit”). When the inverter is at a temperature lower than 0°C its heating system is activated in
order to reach an internal temperature greater than 0°C and permit start-up. To ensure correct equipment
operation and to feed the grid with maximum power, an ambient temperature ranging from 0°C to 50°C is
required. Compliance with the nominal values is guaranteed within this temperature range given that a
temperature-based derating of the power fed occurs above these limit values in order to ensure the safety
and correct operation of the equipment (see Figures 6-1). These figures show how both models of inverters
reduce the output power with different downward gradients, and the behaviour of the inverters when the
ambient temperature reaches 65ºC, at which point it will turn off completely with an overtemperature alarm.

GD-237983 R2 19
Figure 6-1b : E-1.4MVA Power derating with temperature
IMPORTANT!
The inverter display will show the “limited by temperature” warning when the
equipment is operating within the 50°C-65°C range and the operating power is limited.
The inverter will show the overtemperature alarm and disconnect when the
temperature exceeds 65°C.
IMPORTANT!
Ambient temperature recommendation: Maintaining a low temperature in
equipment rooms their MTBF (mean time between failures) is increased. MTBF is
highly dependent on operating temperature for all power converters in general.
IMPORTANT!
GAMESA – ELECTRIC recommends keeping technical rooms and huts containing the
equipment well-ventilated and free of dust. Furthermore, ensure that the ventilation
grilles of the rooms are unobstructed to facilitate heat removal from their interior.
Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA inverters must be installed vertically, on a level floor. Fresh air comes into the
inverter from the front side and hot air leaves the unit trough the back side of the cabinet. As a consequence,
GD-237983 R2 20
it is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 1 m between any obstacle, wall or similar and front &
back faces of the unit (see Figure 6-2). In case of two inverters next to each other, it must be left 200mm
between them.
Adding adequate ventilation grilles to the wall of the technical building/container, it is also possible to adjust
the back side of the inverter to the wall, minimising the required space to place the unit. It also reduces the
cooling requirements of the building because heat is directly expelled to the outside. To improve the heat
extraction it could also be possible to equip screens or a cooling duct between the inverter and the wall.
The inverter also needs a heat exchanger to evacuate heat from the liquid cooling system. The heat
exchanger will be placed outside the technical building.
Technical building without wall ventilation grilles Technical building wall with ventilation grilles
Figure 6-2: Minimum dimensions for planning the installation
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter takes the fresh air required for cooling through the grilles located
on the front face and expels the air through the grilles located on the back face (see Figure 6-):
Figure 6-3: Cooling air flow
It is extremely important to always keep these ducts free of dirt and objects which could prevent correct
equipment ventilation.
GD-237983 R2 21
The inverter has a modular design, with different cooling paths to keep different areas of the equipment at
their correct operating temperatures. Gamesa Electric recommends providing a fresh air inlet of 2500
m³/h.
The liquid cooling circuit (water-glycol) is dimensioned to maintain the power semiconductors below 100ºC
even at the most unfavourable working conditions, maintaining in this way the power losses in an
exceptionally low level. These low working temperatures will prevent premature aging of the materials,
increasing the MTBF of the unit.

6.2 BASIC DESCRIPTION OF THE GAMESA E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA

INVERTER
The basic features of the inverter, dimensions, component locations, technology, consumption, performance,
etc. are described below.
6.2.1 General information
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter by GAMESA - ELECTRIC is a fully-automated three-phase
photovoltaic grid-connected inverter.
The inverter connects to an array of photovoltaic panels on one side, from which it receives energy in the
form of direct current, and to the electrical grid on the other side, which it feeds with the energy transformed
appropriately into alternating current.
Figure 6-6: Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter with connection to electrical grid
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter remains on standby whenever the panel power is less than
approximately 5 kW (0.5 % of the rated power). Under these conditions the inverter is disconnected from the
grid.
GD-237983 R2 23
6.2.2 Single line diagrams of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter does not have an internal isolation transformer and it has a
nominal output voltage of 360 Vac for E-1.3 MVA Inverter and 400 Vac for E-1.4 MVA Inverter. The
equipment installer must design the connection to the medium voltage line via a step-up transformer which
also provides galvanic isolation between the inverter and the grid. GAMESA-ELECTRIC also offers plug & play
solutions for higher-power grouped installations.
Figure 6- shows the single-line diagram of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter.
Figure 6-7: Single-line diagram of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter
WARNING: STEP-UP TRANSFORMER NEUTRAL
The neutral of the low voltage winding (if a star-point exists) in the step-up
transformer must not be bonded to ground.
The converter incorporates two 650kVA/700KVA inverter bridges designed to be connected to two
independent photovoltaic fields. The performance of the PV Plant is thereby greatly increased, with each
inverter bridge managing the power extracted from each field through independent MPPT. Better energy
management of the photovoltaic fields minimises the time required for the installation to give a return on
investment.
In addition, the fact that the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter has two separate inverter bridges, with a
dedicated controller for each one, permits control and switching strategies on the bridges which allow the
inverter to attain very low distortion levels and prevent disturbances on the electrical grid.

6.2.3 Dimensions and external components
The dimensions and external components of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter are shown in the
following figure.
IMPORTANT!
The ventilation requirements described in 6.1.4 Environmental conditions, location and

ventilation must be taken into account when planning the installation.
Figure 6-8: Dimensions and external components of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter
The main external components of the enclosure shown in the above figure are:
• 1 - Touch screen: Located on the front upper-right door of the enclosure. Permits user operation
and information, allowing communication with the inverter to turn it on and off as well as to view the
status of possible alarms.
• 2 - Emergency switch: Activation disconnects the inverter. While it is locked the inverter cannot be
placed in operation. Unlocking is performed by turning a quarter rotation in the direction indicated by
the arrows on the switch.
• 3 - DC switches: These are the manual switches which electrically connect and disconnect the
inverter from the DC input from the panels. These switches must be handled in accordance with the
connection and disconnection protocol of the inverter and when the indicators permit. Switch status
indicators: These indicators show when the user is allowed or not allowed to handle the manual DC
and AC switches and when they should/can be handled. See the inverter connection and
disconnection protocol for more information.
GD-237983 R2 25
• 4 - AC : This switch connects the equipment to the AC grid.
• 5 - Air inlet grilles: Cold air inlets for inverter cooling. Keep clean and free of obstacles.
• 6 - DC cable entrance: The DC wiring enters the inverter on the lower right side. This must be
taken into account when positioning the inverter.
• 7 - AC cable entrance: The AC wiring enters the inverter on the lower left side. This must be taken
into account when positioning the inverter.
6.2.4 Component distribution
The equipment is designed with a modular distribution, composed of different equipment areas.

o 3b – Liquid cooling Pump
- Cabinet 4 – This cabinet has two different areas:
o 4a – Inductors: This cabinet provides access to the equipment’s inductors.
o 4b – Control: This cabinet contains the control, switching and auxiliary power components.
GD-237983 R2 26
6.2.5 Efficiency
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter is notable for its high efficiency reaching maximum values of
98,6 %, an European efficiency of 98.4% and a Californian efficiency of 98.4%
6.2.6 Control system
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter incorporates an advanced control system which performs control
functions & PWM generation for the inverter bridges and control the different protection and cooling systems.
It also performs monitoring and communications tasks and an external SCADA could be connected to the
equipment through the communication ports.
This proprietary control system developed by GAMESA is a robust and flexible system based on DSPs and
FPGA. The system can be controlled and updated remotely, allowing it to adapt to the customer’s needs as
well as permitting fast and efficient fault maintenance and management.
Figure 6-10: Gamesa CCU
6.2.7 External power supply
The external power supply for feeding powered certain components such as fans, extractors, the cabinet
heating system, control system and communications, etc. is powered from an external grid to the one that the
inverter is feeding energy into.
It is for this reason that it is necessary that this power has a low harmonic content (THD around 1%)
Figure 6-11: Illustration of auxiliary consumption
GD-237983 R2 27
6.2.8 Voltage dips (Low voltage ride through)
With the voltage dips control, the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter comprises a robust piece of
equipment in response to grid voltage faults, remaining connected to the electrical grid even when it does not
maintain rated values during transitory periods (depending on the needs and requirements of the system
operator for different countries).
A voltage dip is an abrupt reduction in voltage followed by a recovery over short time lapse. By convention, a
voltage dip lasts from 10 ms to 1 min. After the fault is cleared, a recovery period is required for the voltage
to reach admissible values. The fact that the equipment withstands voltage dips means that the generating
equipment remains connected to the electrical system without undergoing disconnection as a result of voltage
dips specified by the grid operator. Figure 6-12 shows some examples of voltage dips:
Figure 6-12: Voltage-time curve which defines the area of the “voltage dip” at the grid connection point
which the installation must withstand. Spanish regulations (left) and international examples (right).
The depth of the voltage dip which the equipment must withstand depends on the applicable regulations.
In order to adapt to these changing regulations, certain systems have been added to the inverter to ensure
correct measurement of the electrical grid parameters in real time as well as a energy storage system to
ensure auxiliary power supply of the inverter and correct operation even when the electrical grid is causing a
fault. This system is based on modern energy storage technology, reducing maintenance and costs to a
minimum compared to replacing the batteries of traditional UPS systems.
6.2.9 Insulation monitoring
Each bridge of the inverter has one insulation monitor relay which measures the insulation resistance of the
photovoltaic field, if the resistance falls below a threshold value then an alarm on the inverter is triggered and
the corresponding bridge will be disconnected. In the case of inverter with earthing kit the insulation
monitoring is based on leakage current.
During the connection procedure, the insulation resistance must be measured by the inverter before is
connected to the grid. Therefore, after the charge of the DC bus, the user closes the DC switches if they are
not closed, and then the insulation is being measured. If the measured value is correct the inverter closes the
main AC breaker and feeds power to the grid, if not an insulation alarm is triggered.
The correct function of the insulation monitors is supervised periodically (e.g once a day) and in case of a
reset of the CCU. It is also possible to trigger manually this test from the HMI.
GD-237983 R2 28
6.3 GAMESA E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA INVERTER EXTENSIONS AND OPTIONS
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter has a number of optional extensions to equip it with additional
functions on customer request or as dictated by applicable technical requirements based on the country
where the installation will be performed. Consult Gamesa-Electric for more information on the optional
equipment functions. Some of the notable options are:
6.3.1 1.3 MVA, 1.4 MVA and 2.6 MVA, 2.8 MVA integral solution
Gamesa Electric also offers integrated solutions for large PV-plants:

- Best choice for large utility scale PV systems.
- The complete MV connection solution includes MV switchgear, the photovoltaic inverters and
monitoring hardware.
- Also customized configurations under request: concrete building or metallic container, pad-mounted
transformers, SCADA hardware and software for complete PV Plant remote monitoring, oil-filled or dry
transformers ...
6.3.2 Earthing kit
In order to work with certain photovoltaic panel technologies (such as some fine-layer models and avoiding
corrosion of the TCO layer), a configuration with a grounded photovoltaic field negative or positive is essential
(check with the corresponding photovoltaic panel manufacturer).
The earthing kit earths one of the poles of the photovoltaic field via a protection, which ensures the safety
and monitoring of the connection’s isolation. This system is world renowned and its installation is compulsory
in some countries.
Figure 6-13Positive and negative terminal earthing kit
IMPORTANT!
Neither of the poles of the photovoltaic field should be connected to earth externally
from the standard inverter without the earthing kit. The inverter will trigger an isolation
alarm and will not start. The E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter is only designed to perform
adequate earthing via the earthing kit, and if this warning is ignored it may lead to
damage the inverter and the installation.
GD-237983 R2 29
6.3.3 DC fuses kit
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter has the option of installing up to 12 fuses in the direct current

all of the eyebolts located for this purpose.
IMPORTANT! Ventilation
Take the aforementioned ventilation requirements into account when positioning the
inverter in its final location, for example, by not blocking the air inlets and outlets.
IMPORTANT! Shock sensor
The inverter has inside a shock sensor. If the inverter has received rough handling
during transport to the installation point, a red indicator in the sensor appears.
Consult GAMESA-ELECTRIC to know how to proceed with this scenario.
GD-237983 R2 32
7.2 INVERTER CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION METHODS
All electrical installations and wiring methods shall be in accordance with the local
electrical regulations, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or similar .
CAUTION: FIRE RISK PREVENTION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, connect each AC circuit of the inverter only to
a dedicated circuit provided with protection in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or similar.
WARNING
Keep cables away from any sharp edges which could damage the insulation.
WARNING: Ensure that all connection cables and the equipment itself are not under
voltage during installation. Ensure that accidental reconnection which would place
the terminals under voltage is not possible. Failure to follow this indication may lead
to serious damage and even death.
WARNING: The protective earth must always be the first cable connected to the
equipment and the last cable disconnected.
WARNING: PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATOR CONNECTION
The configuration of the photovoltaic generator will dictate the way in which the
inverter is connected. Consult GAMESA-ELECTRIC for advice when performing the
connection.
WARNING: FOR INVERTERS WITHOUT ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
For inverters without an isolation transformer, and depending on the PV modules

technology used and the desired connection type to the medium voltage transformer,
a series of special considerations must be observed to ensure correct equipment
operation. Consult GAMESA-ELECTRIC for advice when designing the installation.
GD-237983 R2 33
WARNING: CHECK FOR RECIRCULATIONS BEFORE HANDLING EARTH CONNECTIONS
If the earth configuration of the installation where the inverter will be located is
unknown, it is advisable to check that no leakage currents are circulating from other
parts of the installation before handling the earth connection.
WARNING
Cable entry is performed via the bottom part of the equipment and the equipment
should therefore preferably be installed on a raised access floor. If this configuration
is not possible, the cable entry can be performed via the lower rear or front face,
given that the equipment is mounted on a bench to facilitate transport. Special
attention must be paid to the fact that the floor is capable of supporting the
equipment to be installed.
The electrical connection is performed on the lower front part of the inverter, with the photovoltaic generator
connection on one side and the three-phase AC grid connection on the other, and finally the installation earth
connection.
IMPORTANT: GOOD ELECTRICAL CONNECTION MUST BE GRANTED

When connecting one or two power cables to a connection plate or a terminal block, perfect
and tight electrical connection must be granted. Cable power terminals that are bent or
damaged can cause hot spots and compromise the correct behaviour of the inverter and the
installation.

7.2.2 About the auxiliary power supply
An auxiliary power supply is necessary, the equipment have to take the supply of its auxiliary services from a
regular three phase 360Vac / 400Vac outlet with THD<1%. This auxiliary power supply can consume a
maximum of 4 kW and the wires must be sized accordingly. This auxiliary power input is already protected
and the recommended cross sections of conductors are 4 mm2.
Consult Gamesa-ELECTRIC for more information on the auxiliary power supply connections.
7.2.3 Heat exchanger installation and connection
The Heat Exchanger will be installed outside the container, with a maximum distance between Heat
Exchanger and Inverter of 3 meters. In other case, it must be indicated to Gamesa Electric. Be aware of not
blocking the proper air flow from any grill or similar on the building.

8 OPERATION
This section explains how to use the equipment correctly, how to configure it, start and stop it. It also
explains how the equipment behaves in response to faults, electrical grid incidents, alarms, etc. Furthermore,
details are provided on how to use the touch screen display.
8.1 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter by Gamesa - Electric is a fully-automated three-phase
photovoltaic grid-connected inverter, meaning that intervention on the inverter is only required in the event of
a serious inverter failure that require an inspection and a manual reset.
There should be no active alarms for correct operation. Nevertheless, alarm states are automatic in all
operational states, and so if an alarm is triggered the inverter will stop immediately and the reason for the
alarm will appear on the front panel. If the alarm condition disappears, the inverter resumes its normal
working operation.
IMPORTANT!
The emergency switch located on the front panel of the inverter must be deactivated in
order to start the equipment.
8.2 OPERATIONAL DIAGRAM
Once the inverter has been started via the corresponding activation signal, it will go through a series of
states, as described below.
Figure 8-1: Simplified operational states diagram of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter
GD-237983 R2 40
A more detailed description of what happens in each state is given below:
STATE DESCRIPTION
This is a compulsory state which is passed when the equipment initialises. After
START initialisation, if there is an alarm, it will go to EMERGENCY, and if everything is correct,
it will go to TEST.
The main purpose of this state is to wait for the equipment to be started in order to
determine the action to follow. No action occurs until the operator presses the start key
on the front panel. If the DC switches are open, it decides whether the DC load switch
can be closed directly or it is necessary to precharge the DC buses. If the DC switches
are closed, it waits until the DC bus voltage is greater than the start-up reference
STOP voltage. If this does not occur, it remains in this state.
In cases where the inverter already has been connected to the panels and has been
running (e.g. a power outage or maintenance) When re-energize the inverter; it shall
be starting automatically if conditions permit.
The indicators for each one turn green to let the operator know that they can be closed.
The purpose of this state is to charge the capacitors of the DC buses to an initial value.
PRECHARGE To do so, the precharge contactor is closed and it waits until the voltage of the
capacitors is greater than a preset value.
GRID The purpose of this state is to connect the equipment to the grid. To do so the charge
CONNECTION contactor is closed and the precharge contactor is opened.
The purpose of this state is to charge the capacitors of the DC buses to the voltage of
DC CHARGE the panels to avoid high current surges when closing the DC switches. To do so, the
equipment’s PWM control is activated and it operates in rectifier mode.
The purpose of this state is to deliver power to the grid by running the equipment as an
GENERATING
inverter, provided the DC bus voltage is greater than the stop reference voltage.
If the conditions to produce energy are not favourable, the inverter stops the
production, is disconnected from the grid (ceases to deliver power to the grid) and
waits for adequate conditions to resume. In this state the equipment performs several
attempts to reconnect to the grid, in order to test whether the power delivered is
WAITING
sufficient. If a time period elapses in which the power available in the photovoltaic fields
is insufficient, the inverter will enter the disconnection state. There are also certain
alarms which will put the equipment in the wait state and, when cleared, the inverter
will continue operating if there is sufficient power from the panels.
The purpose of this state is to disconnect the equipment from the grid by opening the
DISCONNECTION
charge contactor and deactivating both rectifier and inverter modes.
The purpose of this state is to report some kind of alarm. The equipment will remain in
EMERGENCY
this state while the alarm persists.
The purpose of this state is to test the correct function of the insulation monitor relays
TEST while the inverter is not connected, this test is done periodically (e.g. once a day), or
after a reset of the inverter
GD-237983 R2 41
8.3 CONTROL PANEL
The Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter includes a control panel which provides useful information related
to the operation of the inverter and which can be used to configure different types of settings. Figure 8-2
shows an image of the touch screen.

8.3.1 Touch screen operation
The screen for operating and visualising the status and operation of the inverter is located on the top right
door of the inverter enclosure.
The screen is a touch-sensitive panel which displays keys to permit navigation of the menus and modification
of the configurable parameters.
Note: The screen turns off 20 minutes after detecting the last user command. The screen can be turned on
again by touching it.
8.3.2 Welcome screen
The first screen shown on the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter when it is connected to the electrical
grid is the welcome screen. To begin to manipulate the screen once the inverter is energized is needed to
wait about 30 seconds to establish communications. If you click on any point on the screen, the standard
screen is opened Figure 8-3 shows a capture of this screen.

8.5 INVERTER CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE
WARNING: FOLLOW THE STEPS DESCRIBED STRICTLY
The procedure for connecting the equipment to the AC grid and the photovoltaic field
must be performed in the correct order and following the steps described below.
Failure to follow compulsory steps can damage the inverter.
WARNING: ONLY OPERATE DC SWITCHES WHEN THE INDICATOR IS IN “GREEN” STATE

Is very important to understand that when the inverters connects to the PV arrays, there will be
a big difference between the voltage present at the PV arrays and the DC voltage present inside
the inverter. For example, the below schematics shows a situation in wich the PV voltage is
700VDC and the DC voltage inside the inverter is 0 Volts. If in this situation the user would
close the DC switch, there will be an overcurrent in the DC side and the DC fuse and other
power electronics components could be damaged.
This situation is warned by the LED indicator of each DC Switch. If the indicator is in RED state,
you cannot manipulate DC switch and if the LED are in green state, you can operate the DC
switch in a safe way.
The way that the inverter make possible to close the DC switches in a safe way is making a
controlled precharge of the internal DC link so when you close the DC switch, the voltage
between PV voltage and the internal DC-link are the same and no overcurrent are produced:
Safe close of the DC

switch is possible
GD-237983 R2 54
8.5.1 INVERTER CONNECTION PROCEDURE
Energize the auxiliary circuit of the inverter from the external auxiliary power supply placed in the
container. The auxiliary filter output feeds up this line.
0
Auxiliar Circuit Filter
The first step (after the auxiliary circuit connection) in the procedure for connecting the inverter to the
electrical grid is to close the AC switch to energise the equipment. If this is the first time that the equipment
is connected or a maintenance task has been performed, the DC switches will be in the OPEN position, and
the photovoltaic fields will therefore be disconnected. The touch screen will turn on, showing the inverter
main menu (see Section 8.3 CONTROL PANEL). The DC switch status indicators will light up, showing whether
the respective circuit breakers switches can be handled or not.
If this is the first time that the inverter is connected to the electrical grid, it is recommended to
configure the touch screen by entering the date and time parameters as a minimum. This is useful
1 for solving incidents. During the initial commissioning, GAMESA-ELECTRIC will have already
configured the system with the corresponding plant parameters and electrical grid configuration
for the equipment to operate optimally.
It is necessary to check that the equipment does not register any alarms in order to proceed to
start-up and subsequent grid connection:
The first action required for the inverter start-up procedure is to press the “ON” key on the touch
screen. The inverter will then close the precharge contactors to perform a controlled precharge of
2 the DC buses from the electrical grid. During this process the inverter works as a rectifier and a
voltage of approximately 365 V is obtained in the DC buses. When the controller verifies that the
voltage is correct, it closes the main AC contactors and opens the precharge ones. The inverter is
now connected to the electrical grid but not to the photovoltaic fields. During this process the DC
switch indicators will be RED, meaning that these switchescannot be handled. During this process
the “DC bus precharge” and “AC connected” messages appear on the touch screen. The
connection process will continue automatically as described in the following point.
In order to close the DCswitches, the voltage in the DC buses must match the voltage present in
the connected photovoltaic fields. On the contrary, overcurrents which could damage the
3 equipment will be produced when closing the switches. To match these voltages, PWM control is
performed where the inverter functions as a controlled rectifier to raise the voltage in the DC
buses (which was at approximately 480 V after the initial precharge) to the same value as the
voltage in the panels. The touch screen will now show the message “DC PWM charge”. When the
voltages of the DC buses and the panels have been matched, the touch screen will show the
message “Waiting DC switch” and the switch indicators will change to GREEN.
Now the user should close the DC switchesto connect the photovoltaic fields to the inverter and
keep the voltage in the DC bus. This operation must take less than 180 seconds, or the DC bus
voltage will decrease under a threshold value so the DC circuit indicator will turn to RED and then
the connection process becomes unsafe and show the “connection time exceeded" alarm.
When all of the DC switcheshave been correctly connected, the panel will show the “on” message
and is ready to feed the grid with power (provided the power available from the panels is
sufficient).
GD-237983 R2 55
Before connecting to the grid, the inverter measures the insulation resistance of the photovoltaic
fields compared to ground. If the insulation value is correct then the inverter will start
automatically and close the main AC contactors, if the resistance value is lower than the threshold
4 value an alarm is triggered.
With the inverter connected to the electrical grid and the photovoltaic fields, it will now begin to
feed power into the grid when the power from the panels permits. This is based on the configured
5 panel voltage and depends on the specifications of the installation.
The inverter will show the “generating” message on the screen.
8.5.2 DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE
The following steps must be carried out in order to interrupt normal inverter operation and disconnect the
electrical grid or photovoltaic fields.
Press the “OFF” key on the touch screen to stop the inverter. This action will automatically put the
inverter in the waiting sunrise state where the switching of the bridges is interrupted and the
1 contactors are opened (DC, precharge and AC contactors). This operation is performed in a
controlled manner. It gives the same result as pressing the emergency push-button, with the
difference that the emergency push-button stops the equipment immediately and in an
uncontrolled manner and the system will advance to the emergency state. It is therefore
recommended not to press the emergency push-button to stop the equipment unless it really is an
emergency. The normal stop process for the equipment is to press the “OFF” key on the touch
screen. The touch screen will show the “Emergency” message and both the DC and AC switches
can be opened safely.
The two capacitor bridges can store energy. Before performing any operation inside it,
open the DC switches and press the emergency stop button and always check through
the display that the dc bus not has voltage. Only qualified personnel are authorised to
perform maintenance operations.
For equipment with voltage dips kit, the auxiliary power will remain energized for a few
minutes even having switched off the AC Power. If you can’t see the voltage of DC bus
on the display, check with a multimeter that no voltage.
8.6 BEHAVIOUR IN RESPONSE TO GRID FAULTS
GRID FAULT WITH DIPS FUNCTION (Low voltage ride through): When anomalous magnitudes are detected in
the grid to which the inverter is connected, it will not disconnect from the grid and will keep the AC contactors
energised. Depending on the applicable legislation in each country, the inverter will either continue feeding
power into the grid or wait for the grid fault to clear in order to continue normal operation and exit “grid fault”
operation mode.
The inverter is able to perform according to each particular grid code, adjusting the behaviour to HVRT, LVRT,
ZVRT and power factor requirements.
GD-237983 R2 56
9 COMMISSIONING
Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter units have previously passed a test to verify correct operation by the
manufacturer. However, it is necessary to perform a general check before performing the initial start-up to
eliminate errors which may have been caused by incorrect transport or installation.
IMPORTANT!
The equipment’s warranty is only applicable if personnel designated by GAMESA-

ELECTRIC have performed commissioning and validated the installation of the inverter.
IMPORTANT!
Possible wiring errors must be rectified by following the corresponding electrical

schematics and the existing documentation.
It is essential to fill out and follow the commissioning sheet and report in order to carry
out this operation, and this should only be performed by specialist personnel
designated by GAMESA-ELECTRIC.
In general terms, carry out an initial visual inspection of the equipment, including:
• Check that the polarity of the photovoltaic field is correct
• Check that the equipment’s mechanical connections are correct, are not scratched and no abnormal
components are present.
• Check the electrical connections, their torque and secure the terminals and connectors.
• Check that the AC and DC cables are connected correctly, their cross-section is adequate and the
cables and connectors are not damaged.
9.1 VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
A visual inspection of all of the equipment’s mechanical components must be carried out in order to verify
that it has been transported correctly and there are no dents or scratches.
9.2 WIRING CHECK
IMPORTANT!
Special importance must be given to connections made on the site, specifically:

- Unterminated connections and polarity faults.
GD-237983 R2 57
9.2.1 Internal inverter connections
Check that the connections to the different terminals and components such as cards, filters, transformers, etc.
are correct and are not loose.
Check that the corresponding internal temperature sensors are correctly positioned and connected.
Look for possible loose connections or bad contacts dues to poor transport or excessive vibration of the
equipment.
9.2.2 Check power connections
Check the connections from the photovoltaic field to the inverter:

• Check that the polarity is correct
• Check that the voltage is in the range of 570/610 to 1000 V (depending on the installation).
Check the AC connections, verifying that:

• The phase voltages and sequence are correct
• The grid frequency is within specification
Check the earth connections:

• Check that the cabinet components are correctly connected to the earth terminal.
• If the earthing kit is used, check that it has been installed correctly and the polarity is correct.
9.2.3 Check the thermostat and hygrometer
The inverter has several thermostats to control switching of the cabinet heating system and overtemperature
protections. These thermostats are factory pre-set.
• Check that the dial of the thermostat BT01 has 0°C tares and the thermostat BT02 has 5ºC tares.
• Check that the hygrometer for measuring the humidity is tared at 95%.

11 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
This section describes the recommended maintenance tasks to keep the equipment in optimal operating
conditions from the time of purchase.
GD-237983 R2 69
IMPORTANT!
The equipment requires annual maintenance tasks to keep it in perfect condition and
guarantee high production. These tasks are NOT the ones described in this chapter and
must only be performed by personnel designated by GAMESA – ELECTRIC, in order to
guarantee correct handling of the components of the Gamesa E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA
Inverter. The tasks described here mainly serve to maintain the cooling pathways in
good condition and check, as far as the end user can, that the equipment is functioning
correctly.
For more information, check the conditions of the maintenance contracts.
GAMESA – ELECTRIC advises the following preventative maintenance tasks be performed on the Gamesa
E-1.3 MVA/E-1.4 MVA Inverter:

(*) This interval can be reduced if operating/location/environmental conditions permit.
11.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE TASKS
As mentioned above, each of the following tasks has a recommended interval, which can be vary depending
on the installation requirements and location.
11.1.1 Regular reading of errors and stored data
It is advisable to perform regular monitoring of the data stored by the inverter. This provides information on
the history of alarms triggered and allows the evolution of power delivered to the grid to be analysed. These
GD-237983 R2 70
data allow certain low performance problems to be discovered, which could probably not be detected on site.
Data can be downloaded from the inverter remotely or on site via the information shown on the touch screen.
Contact your distributor if problems are detected.
11.1.2 Check and clean protective grilles
As with the filters, the condition of the protective grilles should be checked, given that they are susceptible to
the accumulation of dirt and the problems which this entails. It is recommended to check that they are free of
insects and even small animals which may find the hot air outlet a good place to nest.
11.1.3 Check, clean and (if required) change air filters
The air filters are located on the front face of the equipment, inside the ventilation grilles. It is advisable to
check and clean them regularly to ensure they are not obstructing the normal flow of cool air and therefore
causing overtemperature or poor performance problems.
11.1.4 Change cooling liquid (water / glycol) and hoses.
Cooling liquid and hoses shall be changed every 5 years to assure their correct behaviour.
11.1.5 Cooling liquid leakages.
The inverter shall be periodically checked for cooling liquid leakages.

13.3 ALARMS AND EVENTS REGISTERS
The inverter stores an internal buffer of alarms and events. Each time a new alarm appears that the Modbus
master has not read, he may read them in sequence, from oldest to newest, until there are no unread alarms.
The register GetContAlarms (address 122) indicates to the master the unread number of alarms.
Before start reading the history of alarms and events, the master must write the value (1300H) at Modbus
address 181 (Alarms_control). This indicates to the inverter control that the following 5 alarm records will be
read. After this operation, the master can access to read the same records of alarms or events as often as
desired.
The master must read the alarms and events generated by the investor in blocks of 5 registers, with one or
more accesses to read the alarm log, which starts at address 1000h. In this block there are up to 5 registers.
For each read operation is sent to master the number of records requested from the alarm buffer, from oldest
to newest. If more than 5 entries without reading, it will take several readings of the alarm history and you
have to write earlier in the 181 direction the value 1300H to advance in the history. The historical alarms
block and events block are shown in Table 1, and the format of each register of alarms and events in the
historical content is shown in Table 2.
GD-237983 R2 88
If the number of unread alarms is less than the number of registers requested in a read operation, the last
unread alarms will be shown and the register that remains will contain non valid data. In the second position
of the read buffer the number of valid read registers will be shown.
Each time you access the alarm history to read new records, the alarm counter (offset 0), and register
GetContAlarms (address 122) is decremented in the number of alarms read, until it reaches zero.

Table 2: Format of an alarm or Event register.
Below, there is the explanation of each word of the alarm history:
Address 1000h:
The first position of the block indicates the number of alarms that remain to be read. This value is
equal to the one that you can read in the direction 122 (GetContAlarms).
Address 1001h:
Indicates the number of valid alarm registers returned in the read operation. If the alarm history
contains more registers than those requested in the read operation, this value will be equal to the
number of registers requested. If, however, there are fewer unread registers than the read request,
this value will have the number of records remaining to be read.
Address 1002h – 1077h. Alarm Registers:
Data from the 5 alarm register. Each register contains the information of one alarm or event, from
the oldest to the newest. Each alarm register starts in the addresses shown in table1
Offset 0, 1 y 2:
GD-237983 R2 89
The time when the alarm happens are sent. 6 values of 8 bits each are sent (Year, month, day, hour,
minute and second, according to Table 1) in 4-bit BCD format. This means that each value has two
decimal digits; each digit is coded with 4 bits.
Offset 3:
Miliseconds in which the alarm occurred. This data is sent in units of 100µs. If you send the data
1234, for example, means that the alarm occurred in the second 0.1234s.
Offset 4:
Identifier of the alarm or event. If the identifier is less than 1000, the register is an alarm. If the
identifier is greater than or equal to 1000, the register is an event.
Offset 5:
Value associated with the alarm. For example, if an overvoltage alarm, this data show be value of the
voltage that caused the alarm. This value must be divided by a scale factor identified by the identifier
that is sent in the next data, as indicated in Table 3.
Offset 6:
Identifier for the data type of the value associated with an alarm. The data type indicates the units of
the value and the scale factor to be applied, as shown in Table 3. If the type is 0 or not in the table
below, then should not apply any scaling factor, and the value will not have units.

38 x 0.01 VAr
41 x 1000 s (seconds)
Table 3: Units and scale factor for the value associated with the alarm.
Offset 7:
Indicates the content of the register, as shown in Table 4. If the record contains an alarm value is 1.
If the record contains the deactivation of an alarm, its value is 2, and if it's an event, value is 3. If,
register is not valid because there are no records of alarms and events by reading, it is (-1).

13.3.1 Alarm history read Example
At one point, by a power failure, there are 8 alarms.

Reading the register GetContAlarms (address 122), returns the value 8. Therefore, master makes two read
accesses of five registers in the alarm history. At first it read 5 alarms, and then read the remaining 3.
1º. The master reads the Modbus address 122. This register indicates the number of alarms and events that
have occurred and the master did not read.
2º The inverter responds with a value of 8, indicating that there are 8 alarms unread
3º The master writes the value 1300H in the addresss 181 (Alarms_control), indicating that are about to read
5 new alarm registers.
4º. The master reads 5 alarm registers (42 words) in the address 1000h:

13.4 VOLTAGE DIPS REGISTER (LVRT LOG)
The inverter has a history of voltage dips, which works similar to the alarm history.
The access to this registers is in the address 1200h, and for access to read the history, the master must write
the value 1500h in the address 181 (Alarms_control).
GD-237983 R2 91
In the register GetContDips (address 123) the inverter shows the number of unread voltaje dips on the
register.
