DelCEN 2500 HV
Parallel Operation
DelCEN 2500 HV Grid Tied PCU, can be connected in parallel up to 4 units to achieve 10MW of combined power rating.
Thanks to the modular design approach and state of the art controller design. The output of these 4 units should be
connected to each of the 4 LV windings of the multi-winding grid transformer irrespective of the grounding of the DC
negative terminals to the PE (Protective Earth). In case the DC negative is grounded, the neutral of the LV winding shall
be kept floating so that circulating currents will be avoided. In case of the floating DC, the neutral of the LV winding of
the Grid transformer is grounded for safety point of view. Delta’s design includes the PWM carrier synchronization
and interleaving technique to reduce the circulation current and the current ripple.

Below figures illustrates different inverter and Grid transformer configurations possible with DelCEN 2500 HV.

Inverter Placement
DelCEN 2500 HV can be connected to multi-winding transformers to achieve higher block size as illustrated here. The
DC connections are Cable terminations. AC terminations can be done through Bus Duct or Cable terminations.
However, the required safety distance between the Inverter and the grid transformers needs to be followed as per
the CEIG guidelines as notified by the Regional Government Electricity Board. Delta recommends to have a minimum
space of 1.5 meters between 2 Inverters if placed side by side. For the placement of the Inverters, the EPC should
consider the Air flow requirements (Cold air in and Hot air out) in order to ensure optimal thermal performance and
greater efficiency. Delta recommends the following paralleling option and placement arrangements to be followed.
