Parallel in single phase

Step 1: Check the following requirements before commissioning:
● Correct wire connection.
● Ensure all breakers in Line wires of load side are open and each Neutral wires of each unit are connected together.
Step 2: Turn on each unit and set “PAL” in LCD setting program 28 of each unit. And then shut down all units.
4

NOTE: To be safe, it’s better to turn off switch when setting LCD program.
Step 3: Turn on each unit. If all inverters are configured correctly, one unit will show "HS" in LCD display, and others are "SL".

Step 2: Turn on all units and configure LCD program 28 as P1, P2 and P3 sequentially. And then shut down all units.
NOTE: To be safe, it’s better to turn off switch when setting LCD program.
Step 3: Turn on all units sequentially. 1. Update all inverter firmware to the same version.
