CP-250E MICROINVERTER SYSTEM

The CP-250E-60/72-MC4 microinverter has been designed ground up for industry leading

efficiency (96.6% peak, and 96.09% CEC) and reliability. The devices contain no electrolytic

capacitors and no opto-isolators. The chassis uses an aluminum extrusion process optimized for

high volume manufacturing and is rated to NEMA-6. This rating allows environmental extremes

beyond those found beneath solar panels where the inverters are installed. The microinverters

meet stringent radiated emission standards to CISPR-22/EN55022 Class B which has 2X lower

levels than FCC Part 15 B at various frequencies and complies with worldwide unintended

radiation requirements to eliminate interference with other devices. The inverter has also been

designed and tested to withstand 6kVolt line to line, line to ground, and neutral to ground

surge. In addition overcurrent protection sampling at 30kHz ensures grid anomalies that cannot

be compensated in the AC drive result in a clearing state to protect the output stage.

The Chilicon Power communication stack employs advanced forward error correction and

encryption. The system also implements a multi-rate physical layer that automatically adjusts

throughput to maintain link reliability. Fail-safe firmware upgradability allows future

compatibility with emerging utility interactive requirements such as reactive power control.

In summary the designers at Chilicon Power have made the highest effort to put forward a

world class energy conversion device for your use. Please consult this installation manual for
