Grid Tied Solar Inverter

HIVERTER - NP201i Series

HIGHLIGHTS
The Hitachi Solar Inverter is a Grid Tied (GT) Solar Inverter
with reactive power control and high efficiency, which is
the heart of the Solar Power Generating System. It
converts DC power generated by the Photovoltaic (Solar)
Array to AC power that is fed to the Utility Power Grid
System. The Hitachi Solar Inverter is fully compatible with
thin film and / or crystalline PV modules. With proper
maintenance and parts replacement on schedule it has an
operating life upto 25 years.

HIVERTER NP 201i, Hitachi Solar Inverter Series are

among the best available GT Solar Inverters that are
suitable for Multi-Megawatt Solar Power Plants. The
transformer-less design and 3-level PWM technology
improves the efficiency of the system to 98.7%. The
Inverter has a compact design and lower weight for ease of
installation, repair and maintenance. The large touch
screen display collects real-time data and provides fault
detection diagnostics to ensure faster retrieval of
information for corrective action.

As a part of Hitachi Group Company, Hitachi Hi-Rel Power

Electronics Pvt. Ltd (HHPE) is manufacturing Grid Tied
Solar Inverters in India based on the contemporary
technology of Hitachi Ltd, Japan. It brings reliable
products supported by very high quality standards,
manufacturing processes and work culture. Assured long
term technical and spares support.

Three Level High Frequency PWM Inverter Technology

resulting in Reduction of Losses, Low Harmonic Output
Current (< 3%) & Improved Efficiency
High Efficiency up to 98.7% Including Filter Losses
IEC compliant / Third Party Approval for Entire Range of
Inverters
Reactive Power Control
Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) Functionality
Propriety MPPT Algorithm / Extra Wide MPPT Range
(460 V 900 V)

Optimized Cooling Fan for Higher Energy Savings as

well as Longer Fan Life
Integrated DC and AC Distribution & Protection
Independent RS 485 and TCP/IP Communication
Interfaces
Compact Product Design for Lower Footprint and Ease
of Installation

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (KW SCALE)

Start / Stop Function (Emergency Switch)

a. Inverter START / STOP Switch or Contact Input Signal
(Start and stop of the Inverter is carried out by START / STOP
switches).
b. Control position can be selected by DIRECT / REMOTE Switch.
Direct Control
Direct control of the Inverter is possible by using
START / STOP Switches.
Remote Control
Remote control of the Inverter can be done by contact input
signals (START / STOP Switches) or communication.

PV Input Controlled Stand-by Function

a. When the DC input power or voltage reduces due to decrease in
solar irradiation or any other causes, the Inverter goes into stand-by
mode with its inverter switching functions turned off automatically.
In this case, the DC switchgear will be closed.

Fault Ride Through (FRT) Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT)

Against sudden changes of amplitude or phase of AC Voltage,
Inverter high-speed detection and control capability can prevent AC
over current.

Output Power Limiting Function

When the Hitachi inverter output exceeds its maximum value, the
input power drawn will be adjusted to prevent the inverter from
being overloaded.
