Cables and terminal lugs are not furnished with the inverter and must be ordered separately for the 3.5 kVA to 145 kVA units. The 17.5 kVA and 21 kVA inverter require the super flexible (fine strand) wire, which is supplied as an option with the Maintenance Bypass unit.

Owner’s Manual 3.4.2.9 Dual Half-Bridge Inverters In or to provide more choices of output voltage, two identical half-bridge inverters are used to produce either 120VAC or 240VAC depending on parallel or series connection of the outputs. A network that consists of a coupled inductors and high frequency capacitors form a second-order low pass filter and is connected across at each inverter’s output for removing PWM signal. See figure 4-4. 3.4.2.

Owner’s Manual Theory of Operation This chapter describes the theory of operation of the S4 inverter system. 4.0 SCOPE The following is a brief description of the mechanical configuration and how the S4 inverter system functions. It is not intended to provide complete details of all of the circuits within the unit, but gives some details as to the function of each block. The system is a modular 48VDC to 120/240VAC inverter, which consists of 3.5 kVA/3KW modules housed in a “Receiver” cabinet.

Owner’s Manual Figure 4-2: Block Diagram of the S4 Inverter Power System 4.3 Alarm Relays Located just to the left side of the “Controller” printed circuit board card cage is the “Alarm” relay board. This is a plug in circuit board with a terminal block located on the front of the card. Wire routing to the card will be through a knock out located near the DC input, AC input/output knock out landings.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 4.5 DC Input Power Connections The “Receiver” cabinet also contains the DC distribution bus bar system, which is called a “DC Raceway”. It consists of a sheet metal enclosure with two copper bus bars, 1.5” wide, 0.125” thick. These bus bars have ELCON connectors attached to them. The “power modules” have short bus bars projecting out the back of the chassis, which supply the power to the module. These bus bars plug into the ELCON connectors.

Owner’s Manual 4.7.1 Power Module Configuration The power module output current is approximately 10A/volt when it is configured for 120VAC, 5A/volt when configured for 240VAC. Figure 4-2 to 4-4 are block diagrams of the power module. DC power enters the module via bus bars and is applied to a small EMI filter (called a “PI filter”). The filter is designed to reduce the high frequency switching ripple and noise on the battery bus.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 4.7.1.2 Inverter The boost transformer has two secondary windings, 22 turns, center tapped at 11 turns. The two secondary windings, which are rectified, make two separate outputs of +212.5V and –212.5V each. These DC voltages are applied to a filter “Capacitor” PCB, which connects to the inverter IGBTs. The primary has eight turns, center tapped at 4 turns.
Owner’s Manual 4.7.1.2.4 Average Current Mode If the inverter “current command” control signal can be made to control a current source (or sink), then the pole/zero associated with the output L-C filter becomes a first order system, that is, a current source discharging or charging a capacitor. It is much easier to stabilize this type of control loop. It also provides the needed current limiting function.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter the two signals is not zero, then the inverter has failed. The inverter must be disconnected and shut down. Shut down is accomplished by opening the inverters output relay as quickly as possible, turning of the drive to the IGBTs, inhibiting the battery booster, and issue a signal to the “Controller” that the module is not OK via the MODSOK signal line. A “minor” alarm signal will be issued by the “Controller” so the user will now that a fault has occurred.
Owner’s Manual zero to +5V. The +2.495V is used as the reference for the LMC660 amplifiers, signal transformers, which are used to measure the AC input and load voltages, and AC current transformers. 4.8.1.1 “Controller” Input Signals The DC current sensor used to measure the battery current is “LEM” HTA types and require +15VDC, return, and –15VDC. We do not have a negative 15VDC supply, thus the LEM was offset by 15V.

Owner’s Manual 4.8.1.7 High Voltage Drivers The processor PCB also has a high voltage transistor array (ULN7002), which is used to control the tri-colored “STATUS” LEDs and “alarm relays”. The LEDs are powered directly from the 48V input bus through dropping resistors. The transistor array shorts out the appropriate Red and/or Green LED to produce the Green, Amber, or Red color. The “Alarm” relays operate directly from the +48VDC supply, thus the high voltage driver is needed. 4.8.1.
3.5 to 21 kVA N+1 Inverter 4.8.2.1 Static Switch Driver On the right-hand side panel of the “receiver” cabinet is the “Static Switch” gate driver printed circuit board. This board serves two functions. One, it has a 120/240VAC, 50/50Hz bias transformer mounted to it which provides the auxiliary 48VDC for operating the “Controller” and “LCD” “Display”.
Owner’s Manual The output of this current transformer is clamped to a maximum of +/-1.1V by means of back-to-back diodes, which is in parallel with a high value burden resistor. This signal is supplied to the “Controller”. If back-feed current should be detected when the inverter is operating, the system will be shut down, that is, latched OFF. Reset us accomplished by cycling the system OFF ON/ switch on the LCD display panel.
