  • Page 4: Introduction

    01 Introduction LGES-5048 is a hybrid or bidirectional solar inverter, applicable to solar systems connected to the utility grid and LG Energy Solution RESU 48V batteries. The Inverter should not be installed in multiple phase combinations The energy produced by the PV system is used to power household loads, charge the battery, and export excess energy to the utility grid.

  • Page 5: Safety And Warning

    1.2 Safety and Warning LGES-5048 from LG Energy Solution Ltd strictly complies with related safety rules for product design and testing. Please read and follow all the instructions and cautions on the inverter or user manual during installation, operation or maintenance. Improper operation might cause personal or property damage.
  • Page 6 Safety Warnings Installation and operation of the inverter must be performed by qualified electricians, in compliance with all local standards, wiring rules and requirements of local grid authorities, e.g. AS 4777 and AS/NZS 3000 in Australia. Before any wiring connection or electrical operation on inverter, all battery and AC power must be disconnected from inverter for at least 5 minutes to make sure inverter is totally isolated to avoid electric shock.

  • Page 13: Pv Wiring Connection

    2.4.2 PV Wiring Connection Before connecting PV panels/strings to inverter, please make sure requirements are followed as below • The total short-circuit current of a PV string must not exceed the inverter's max DC current. • The minimum impedance to earth of the PV module shall be greater than R. R=Max.Input Voltage (V)/30mA, i.e.

  • Page 14: Battery Wiring Connection

    Make sure there is an external DC breaker (125A) connected to the battery circuit. Make sure that the breaker is off and battery is LG Energy Solution RESU 6.5/10/12/13 48V nominal battery only before connecting battery to inverter. Make sure inverter is totally isolated from PV and AC power.
