sonnenBatterie Protect-Plus (for the Hybrid 9.53) Installation & Configuration

​To assist with the installation of the sonnenBatterie Hybrid 9.53, with backup function and optional AC coupled solar PV, the Protect-Plus has been designed to create a simple pre-wired integration solution for installers.

​The concept is simply, there is an AC feed from the 'Grid Supply' to the sonnenProtect-Plus and there are two AC supplies that in turn go out; one to the 'Essential Loads', and another to supply the 'Non-Essential Loads'. The units will also allow for an 'AC Coupled Solar PV System' input as well.

The connection process is then for the installer to simply plug into the sonnenBatterie Hybrid 9.53 from the sonnenProtect-Plus the AC & backup plug connectors and the Modbus connection. The Protect-plus comes pre-wired with all of the metering and CT's installed.

(The Ethernet (Internet) connection is left for the installer to install based on the specific requirements and options available at the site).

​The sonnenProtect-Plus comes in an IP66 outdoor enclosure fully labeled as per the requirements of Australian Standards
