Main Features:

Maximum energy and safety

The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) research algorithm implemented in the control system of Sirio Central inverters allows full use of the photovoltaic generator in any radiation and temperature conditions, making the plant work constantly at maximum efficiency. In the absence of solar radiation the converter goes on standby and resumes normal operation when there is radiation again. This feature reduces self-consumption to a minimum and maximizes energy efficiency. The use of speed-controlled fans helps to optimize the overall efficiency of the inverter.

For ensuring higher standards of safety and fire prevention in case of a internal fault in the converter, the Sirio HV-MT 330, 500 and 800 units are equipped as standard with a motorized disconnecting on DC side with undervoltage protection. Moreover, the presence of 8 or 16 inputs, protected by fuses placed on both poles, ensures the protection of the lines coming from field switchboards; this arrangement allows to avoid secondary level switchboards (DC-boxes) during design phase) with a consequent economic saving. Fan operation that is linked to the temperature also increases the expected lifespan and reduces costs incurred for extraordinary maintenance.

All these design features, the careful choice of components and guaranteed quality of production according to ISO 9001 standards make the three-phase inverters Sirio extremely efficient and reliable and guarantee maximum energy production.

Thermal derating

Derating as a function of temperature aimed to safeguard against overheating inverter semiconductors in the case of environments with temperatures exceeding installation specifications or for forced ventilation faults, without causing a complete block of the inverter itself. Sirio Central models ensure rated power output up to 45°C environment. If this threshold is exceeded, the inverter gradually decreases the power fed into the network in such a way as to maintain heat sink temperature within the maximum limit. Once back in the range of thermal normal operation, the inverter restores the optimal working point, again ensuring maximum power transfer.

User Interface

Sirio Central inverters provide a series of new user interfaces composed of an LCD colour touchscreen in a convenient 4.3” format. The millions of colours and quantity of features greatly enrich the user’s interaction experience with the solar inverter.

Easy installation and maintenance

The footprint of these devices has been considerably reduced and there is no need to leave space at the side or back of the equipment since the electronics and power components are fully accessible from the front.

Fully automatic operation ensures ease of use and facilitates installation and startup, thus avoiding installation and configuration errors which could lead to failures or reduced plant productivity.
