WARNING

NOTE

KWG inverter, in order to work correctly, needs that the temperature does not exceed: o 70°C on the inverter heat sink (see Figure 11), Normally these temperature is not reached if ambient conditions are in according with specification of Chapter 11.

To ensure safe operation

Always make a pre-operation inspection of the system before and during its mounting on the engine and the box. The inverter must be cooled down by air ventilation blowing on the heat sink fins as per Figure 5. Vibration on the inverter, for all frequencies and situations, must be limited as per paragraph 11.12.3. After you started the motor for the first time check all functions of the system. Do not operate the inverter directly in rain or snow and do not let it in water. If the inverter falls in water, do not try to dry it and operate it, but send it back to KWG for safety controls. Connection and maintenance must be done by qualified operators. It’s not allowed to open or remove the inverter encapsulation resin, nor to modify or replace any of its part. Any guarantee on modified and externally damaged parts will decay. In these conditions KWG can’t give any guarantee on the product and responsibility for any type of accidents. Know how to stop the motor quickly in every case of problems. Never permit anyone to operate the generator without proper instructions Keep children and pets away from the generator when it is in operation. Keep away from rotating parts while the generator is running. Don’t clean the inverter with corrosive substances. Do not use on avionic applications.

When working, the system is a potential source of electrical shocks; do not operate it with wet hands.

5.1 MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

NOTE

Use only the specific cable to connect the inverter to the motor. Use only the counterpart plugs and sockets for the connection of the inverter. The cooling system must always work properly. Avoid obstructions. The inverter is provided with temperature sensors. Maximum allowable temperature must not be exceeded (see Chapter 6 and paragrah 11.1.2). Avoid vibrations and mechanical stresses on the inverter higher than 5g. A short circuit of one of the three inverter input wires toward ground could result into an inverter fail.

The cooling system must work properly starting from low speed revolutions. The inverter is provided with temperature sensors. Maximum allowable temperature must not be exceeded (see Chapter 6 and paragrah 11.1.2). A shock absorbing mounting system (for example with silent-block) is requested in order to reduce mechanical stress on the inverters and keep maximum vibrations according to paragraph 11.12.3 The system operates correctly with revolution speed ranging from 1400 to 3600rpm. Speed revolutions lower than 1400rpm can not guarantee adequate operational performances.

7. INVERTER USE

The inverter provides a 230VAC – 50Hz output. The nominal power is 4kW at an engine revolution speed between 1700 rpm and 3000 rpm.

NOTE

WARNING

The AC output wave distortion (clipping) could increase at lower speed revolutions.

To prevent electrical shocks from insulation damaged or faulty appliances,

the inverter should be grounded. Connect a braid of heavy copper wire between the inverter’s heat sink and the external ground source.

Read carefully this manual before using the inverter.

For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power (see Chapter 11). In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered. Do not exceed the specified current and power limits. A suitable suppressor should be installed as close as possible to the output terminals to prevent failures caused by coupling of external over voltages on the output lines. Substantial overloading that continuously trips the inverter may damage it. Marginal overloading that temporary happens, may shorten the service life of the inverter. Be sure that all appliances are in good working before connecting them to the generator. If an appliance begins to operate abnormally, becomes sluggish, or stops suddenly, turn off the generator engine switch immediately. Then disconnect the appliance and examine it for signs of malfunction. Do not connect the inverter to a household circuit. This could cause the damage to the inverter or to electrical appliances in the house. Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended for.

7.1 GENERATION STARTING

When inverter is power supplied it starts to operate and performs a pre-test procedure lasting about 3 seconds. If no problem is encountered inverter is ready to start generating. When a start command is available, start switch must be close (ON position). It is also possible that pin 7 of connector CON7 stays always grounded, by means of a jumper with pin 10. The behavior of signalization LEDs is described on paragraph 11.9.

MANUAL

EFU10000

4.0kVA INVERTER UNIT Pag. 19 / 34

7.2 BRAKING

A braking system is used in order to prevent the DC voltage rising to an impermissible value. When used, it activates a braking resistor (external to inverter) that is connected in parallel to the inverter BUS capacitors. The over voltage energy is converted to heat via the braking resistor.

WARNING Braking resistors may be subject to unexpected overloads due to faults. Resistors MUST be protected using thermal cutouts. These devices must not interrupt the circuit in which the resistor is inserted but their auxiliary contact must cut off the power supply to the power section of the inverter. If the resistor requires a protection contact, this must be used together with that of the thermal cutout.

7.3 BEHAVIOUR OF LEDS

On connector CON7 three LEDs can be externally connected for monitoring the inverter working conditions. A detailed description of the LEDs behavior is reported on Table 3, while on paragraph 10 “TROUBLESHOOTING” the related user’s operating actions are suggested.

7.4 MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE INVERTER

NOTE

WARNING

Use correct silent blocks to avoid direct transmission of any vibrations to the inverter (see paragraph 11.12.3 for the limits). Before to start the engine it is preferable that all the appliances stay switched off. Start the engine and make sure the AC output indicator comes on. When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber sheathed flexible and fireproof cable. Limit length of extension cables depends on the voltage drop along the cable. This drop must be lower than 2.5% value of the nominal output voltage. Keep the generator away from other electrical cables or wires such as commercial power supply lines. Most appliance motors require more than their rated wattage for start-up. Use a threaded hole of the heat sink for connecting the external ground source to the inverter. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

7.5 SWITCHING OFF THE INVERTER

In order to provide sufficient time to the inverter for the saving of the internal parameter and diagnostic codes, it is important to previosly detach all the loads before switching off the inverter power supply.

8. MAINTENANCE

The purpose of the maintenance schedule is to keep the system in the best operating conditions.

The inverter needs a few operations of maintenance if correctly used.

WARNING

NOTE

Shut off the engine before performing any maintenance. Do not touch the box and the wires of the electronic inverter within 10

minutes after the engine has come to a complete stop. High voltage is still present inside the Inverter.

When a problem happens and it is different from those specified on Chapter 10 TROUBLESHOOTING , contact an authorized inverter dealer.

The heat sink and the fan of the inverter may become dirty as a consequence of the generator use, and so the inverter can loose part of its heat transfer capability. Every 6 months or sooner it is necessary to visual inspect the generator set slots and the dust filters, cleaning them with low pressure compressed and dry air, if necessary. Every 3 months control cables and connectors.

11.5. 230VAC OUTPUT PROTECTIONS 11.5.1 Overload

IOVERLOAD

18 ± 0.5 ARMS

When protection takes place the inverter switches off automatically. Before restarting the inverter it is preferable to detach all appliances. The protection curve, shown in Figure 12, informs about the transitory time before protection intervention.

11.5.2 Output Current Limiter

IMAX

32 ARMS ± 5%

Output current is reduced if exceeding the indicated threshold. Output voltage remains sinusoidal till peak current limiter threshold is reached.

11.5.3 Short Circuit on Output Inverter switches off automatically. Before restarting the inverter it is preferable to detach all appliances.

11.5.4 Peak Current Limiter Threshold

50 A ± 10%

Inverter clips the output current in order to keep the absolute peak value inside a safety region.

11.5.5 Maximum Output Current Derating

-0.8 ARMS/°C

When temperature overcomes the fixed threshold of 55±5°C on the heat sink temperature test point, the inverter reduce the Maximum Output Current value (IMAX ).

11.5.6 Over Temperature

70 ± 5 °C

When temperature overcomes the fixed threshold of 70±5°C on the heat sink temperature test point, the inverter switches off automatically. Before restarting the inverter it is preferable to detach all appliances.

11.5.7 Output Undervoltage due to Insufficient Input Voltage

11.6. INPUT PROTECTIONS 11.6.1 Inrush Current Limiter A resistor shall limit Inrush Current

during start-up. When the Bus Voltage stays over 330VDC for at least 3 seconds, the resistor is bypassed by means of a relay.

11.7. BRAKE RESISTOR COMMAND PROTECTION 11.7.1 Brake Resistor

Overcurrent Protection Limit

IBR PROT

24 ADC ± 5%

When current through brake resistor overcomes IBR PROT, the brake resistor is disconnected and RL2 is activated. In any case heavy overloads, i.e. brake resistor less than 10 , shall be avoided.

11.8. DC BUS PROTECTINS 11.8.1 BUS Overvoltage

Protection – 1st Level

680VDC ± 5%

When BUS Voltage reaches the threshold of 680VDC±5% a Brake Resistor is connected in parallel to the BUS itself by means of an IGBT. The protection will be automatically disabled when BUS Voltage will reach a value of 600VDC±5% (Hysteresis). The resistor shall be on customer side, while IGBT and its control are integrated on the PCB.

11.8.2 BUS Overvoltage Protection – 2nd Level

760VDC ± 5%

When BUS Voltage reaches the threshold of 760VDC±5%, inverter output is switched off automatically and RL2 becomes activated. Engine must be switched off and the full discharge of the BUS must be waited before turning on the system again.
