General product information:

The Solar Inverter converts DC voltage into AC voltage.
The input and output are protected by Varistors to Earth in the model with the suffix number IOX. The unit is
providing EMC filtering at the output toward mains. The unit does not provide galvanic separation from input to
output (transformer), but will be connected to an external voltage transformer. The output is switched off
redundant by the high power switching bridge and one relay. This assures that the opening of the output
circuit will also operate in case of one error.

Differences of the models

The 330kW, 270kW and 250kW models are based on the same hardware platform. The different power
ratings are achieved by software derating. The difference between the 330kW unit and the 270kW and 250kW
units is the output filter nominal current.
The 110kW, 65kW and 25kW units are using different hardware components.
All units have the same control logic, so the definition of a family is fulfilled. All tests have been performed on
the APV-25k-XXX-TL-4 and are valid for the whole series.
