2 Overview
2.1 Introduction
This section describes the functions, models, and network application of the SUN2000.
Function
The SUN2000 is a three-phase grid-tied PV string inverter that converts the DC power
generated by PV strings into AC power and feeds the power into the power grid.
Models
Figure 2-1 shows a model number of the SUN2000, using SUN2000-25KTL-US as an
example.
Table 2-1 lists all models of the SUN2000 and their rated output power.
SUN2000-25KTL-US 25 kW
SUN2000-30KTL-US 30 kW
Network Application
SUN2000 applies to grid-tied PV power systems for commercial rooftops and large power
stations. Typically, a grid-tied PV power system consists of PV strings, grid-tied inverters, AC
distribution units (ACDUs), and isolation transformer, as shown in Figure 2-2.
The SUN2000 can be installed in common transformer secondary winding configuration such as neutral
grounded Y, neutral ungrounded Y, delta (floating). For any other transformer configuration, please
contact Huawei.

----End
Proper grounding for the SUN2000 can help resist the impact of the surge voltage and improve the
electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance. Connect the ground cable before connecting AC
power cables, DC power cables, and communications cables.
For a system with multiple SUN2000s connected in parallel, connect the ground cables for all
SUN2000s to the same ground copper bar to ensure equipotential connections.
When connecting ground cables to points 1 and 4, connect the cables in a standard way or through a
tube (recommended). For details about how to handle the cable glands at the bottom in the two
connection ways, see 5.1 Common Cable Connection Operations.
The following describes how to connect ground cables to ground points 1 and 4 and ground points 2
and 3.
Prerequisites
The ground cables and OT terminals are prepared.
If cables are to be connected through a pipe, prepare a pipe by yourself. The recommended
pipe outer diameter of the cable hole (AC OUTPUT) for ground point 4 is 42.47 mm (1.67
in.). The recommended pipe outer diameter of the cable hole (GND) for ground point 1 is 16.5
mm (0.65 in.).
Procedure
Step 1 Prepare OT terminals.
The cavity formed after the conductor crimp strip is crimped must wrap the core wires completely. The
core wires must contact the terminal closely.
Step 2 Connect the prepared cable to the ground point, and tighten the screw using a torque
screwdriver.
When connecting ground cables to ground points 1 and 4, route the cables through the GND and AC
OUTPUT cable glands at the bottom. If cables are routed through a tube, you can secure the tube
after connecting the ground cable to ground point 4 and connecting the AC output power cable.
When connecting the PE cable to the ground point 4, if the SUN2000 is insecurely installed and the
AC output power cable bears the pulling force, ensure that the last cable bearing the force is the PE
cable.

----End
Prerequisites
A three-phase AC switch needs to be configured outside the AC side of the SUN2000. To
ensure that the SUN2000 can safely disconnect from the power grid under abnormal
conditions, select an appropriate overcurrent protection device according to local power
distribution regulations.
Context
Use copper cables that can withstand 90°C (194°F) or 105°C (221°F). To facilitate the
installation, you are advised to use flexible cables.

Prerequisites
Before connecting DC input power cables, ensure that the voltage on the DC side is within
the safe range (lower than 60 V DC) and that the DC SWITCH on the SUN2000 is OFF.
Otherwise, high voltage may result in electric shock.
When the SUN2000 is grid-tied, do not maintain DC input power cables, such as
connecting or disconnecting a PV string or a PV module in a PV string. Otherwise, it may
result in electric shocks.
If the SUN2000 is directly connected to the power grid with the neutral wire connected to
the PGND cable (for example, a low-voltage power grid or a power grid with the neutral
wire grounded), do not ground the positive and negative terminals of PV strings.
Otherwise, the SUN2000 will fail to work.
During PV string and SUN2000 installation, the positive or negative terminals of PV
strings may be grounded if power cables are not properly installed or routed. In this case,
an AC or DC short circuit may occur and damage the SUN2000.
Context
DC terminal selection
Figure 5-13 shows the DC terminals at the bottom of the SUN2000. Table 5-2 describes
the requirements for DC terminal selection.
Highly rigid cables, such as armored cables, are not recommended because bending may
cause poor contact.
Positive and negative connectors
Positive and negative DC input connectors are used, as shown in Figure 5-14 and Figure
5-15.
Use the positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors supplied with the SUN2000.
Using incompatible positive and negative metal terminals and DC connectors may result in
serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty or
service agreement.
Procedure
Step 1 Prepare positive and negative connectors.
The metal contacts supplied with the DC connectors are either cold forming contacts or
stamping forming contacts. Choose the crimping tools that fit the metal contact types. Do
not mix up the tools.
Crimp the metal cold forming contacts using crimping tool UTXTC0005 (Amphenol,
recommended) or H4TC0001 (Amphenol).
Crimp the metal stamping forming contacts using crimping tool H4TC0003 (Amphenol,
recommended), H4TC0002 (Amphenol), PV-CZM-22100 (Staubli), or PV-CZM-19100
(Staubli). When choosing PV-CZM-22100 or PV-CZM-19100, do not use the locator.
Otherwise, metal contacts would be damaged.
(1) Locator

Figure 5-18 Preparing positive and negative connectors (using metal stamping forming contacts)
After the positive and negative metal contacts snap into place, pull the DC input power cables
back to check that they are connected securely.
Step 2 Pull out the blue dustproof plugs from the ends of the DC input connectors.
Step 3 Ensure that the DC input voltage of each PV string does not exceed 1000 V DC using a
multimeter and check that the polarities of the DC input power cables are correct.
Step 4 Insert the positive and negative connectors into the corresponding positive and negative DC
input terminals of the SUN2000 until they snap into place, as shown in Figure 5-20.
After the positive and negative connectors are in position, the clearance between the DC
terminals and connectors should be less than or equal to 0.8 mm (0.03 in.) and the DC
input power cables cannot be pulled out.
If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switch is ON, do not turn
off the DC switch immediately. Otherwise, the SUN2000 may be damaged. The damage
caused by reverse connection of the DC input power cable is beyond the warranty scope.
Wait until the PV string voltage reduces to the safe range. Then, turn off the DC switch,
remove the positive and negative connectors, and rectify the connection.
----End
Follow-up Procedure
To remove the positive and negative connectors from the SUN2000, insert a removal wrench
into the notch and press the wrench with an appropriate force, as shown in Figure 5-21.
Before removing the positive and negative connectors, ensure that the DC SWITCH is OFF.

RCD enhancing RCD refers to the residual current of the N/A Disable
SUN2000 to the ground. To ensure Enable
device security and personal safety,
RCD should comply with the standard.
If an AC switch with a residual current
detection function is installed outside
the SUN2000, this function should be
enabled to reduce the residual current
generated during SUN2000 running,
thereby preventing the AC switch from
misoperations.
PV module type This parameter is used to set different N/A Crystalline silicon
types of PV modules and the shutdown Film
time of the concentration PV modules.
CPV 1
If the concentration PV modules are
shaded, the power drops drastically to 0 CPV 2
and the SUN2000 shuts down. The
energy yield would be affected since it
takes too long for the power to resume
and SUN2000 to restart. The parameter
does not need to be set for crystalline
silicon and filmy PV modules.
If PV module type is set to
Crystalline silicon or Film, the
SUN2000 automatically detects the
power of PV modules when they are
shaded and shuts down if the power
is too low.
When the concentration PV modules
are used:
− If PV module type is set to CPV
1, the inverter can quickly restart
in 60 minutes when the input
power of PV modules drops
drastically due to shading.
− If PV module type is set to CPV
