How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 3200W 48VDC 230V Solar Inverter/Charger

• Plan your installation in a ventilated, dry location with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and service access. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy and capable of supporting the weight of the unit.
• Mount the inverter/charger according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, securing it to a stable surface and protecting it from direct moisture and excessive temperature fluctuations.
• Connect the 48V DC battery bank to the inverter’s DC input terminals using appropriately sized cables and fuses or a circuit breaker as required by local electrical codes and the system’s design.
• Wire the AC output to your distribution panel or designated loads using the hardwire connections. Ensure a proper AC disconnect is installed if required by code, and verify voltage compatibility with local standards (230V in many regions).
• Connect the solar array to the MPPT input, ensuring appropriate fusing, combiner boxes, and disconnects are in place. Follow best practices for PV wiring, including proper insulation, strain relief, and protection from the elements.
• Configure MPPT settings and system parameters as needed. If you’re stacking multiple units in parallel, follow the manufacturer’s guidance for parallel wiring, synchronization, and load sharing to achieve balanced performance.
• Power up and perform a basic self-test. Check the status indicators and verify that the inverter provides 230V AC output under load and that the MPPT controller begins charging the battery bank when solar input is available.
• Regular maintenance and inspections: verify connections for tightness, inspect cables for wear, and monitor system performance to ensure ongoing reliability and safety.
