III. Documentation Required for Construction and Acceptance**
Construction units must provide the following documents to the developer or supervisor:
1. **Product Qualifications**
- Factory certificate, 3C certification (China market), CE certification (international market).
- Test reports (including accuracy tests, insulation strength, anti-interference performance, etc.).
2. **Installation and Commissioning Records**
- Wiring diagrams (including transformer connection methods), ground resistance test reports (ground resistance ≤4Ω).
- Communication protocol configuration records (e.g., ModBus address, baud rate).
3. **Personnel Qualifications**
- Electrician certificates for installers (special operation certificates required in China).
- For PV systems, PV system design plans and grid connection permit documents must be provided.
IV. Installation and Usage Precautions**
1. **Environmental Requirements**
- Installation location must be well-ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight or humid environments (humidity ≤75%).
- Derate usage when altitude exceeds 2000 meters (reduce capacity by 0.5% for every 100 meters increase).
2. **Wiring Specifications**
- Direct connection meters: Conductor cross-sectional area ≥2.5mm² (below 60A) or 4mm² (80A and above).
- Transformer-connected meters: Require 5A transformers, secondary circuit conductor cross-sectional area ≥1.5mm², and length ≤5 meters.
3. **Load Management**
- Avoid long-term operation exceeding rated current (e.g., 60A meter recommended maximum load 50A).
- Leave a 20% capacity margin for inductive loads (e.g., motors) during startup to prevent inrush current surges.
4. **Communication Configuration**
- RS485 bus must use shielded twisted-pair cables, terminated with 120Ω matching resistors, total length ≤1200 meters.
- When networking multiple meters, assign a unique communication address (1-247) to each to avoid address conflicts.
V. Certifications and Compliance**
- **Domestic Certification**: Passed China 3C certification, compliant with GB/T 17215.321 standards.
- **International Certification**: Passed EU CE certification (LVD, EMC directives), suitable for export to European markets.
- **US Market**: Not explicitly UL or CEC certified; recommended for non-mandatory certification scenarios or consult local distributors.
