4 FAQs about Inverter connected to AC contactor

What is a cu series Power contactor?

CU series power contactors have been specially developed for solar power systems. The double pole design ensures all-pole disconnection of the solar panel field and string. They are used as a unidirectional main contactor, and in the event of a short-circuit can withstand the short-circuit current until the fuse trips, without damage or welding.

What is a CT1000 power contactor?

The electronic economy circuit ensures low power dissipation and hence also increases the energy efficiency of the system (inverter). The CT1000 power contactor is also used as the main contactor in many central inverters for photovoltaic systems and wind farms. CU power contactors have been developed for solar power systems.

What is an example of the internal wiring of an inverter/charger?

Example of the internal wiring of an inverter/charger. In a parallel system, the AC current should be evenly distributed through all paralleled inverter/charger units. When the resistance in the cabling is very low, the small difference in contactor resistance will result in a large relative difference.

Should a parallel inverter/charger be identical?

In a parallel system, each inverter/charger should be identical. Hovever, this is not always the case. Each inverter/charger contains an internal AC input contactor. These contactors are not always completely identical, they can have a small difference in their internal resistance, compared to the other contactors.
