How to connect Multiplus II and Microinverters

Question

question

markus32 asked Sep 3, '22

My Setup:

12 x panels (a 400 Watt)

3 x Microinverter (Hoymiles HM-1500)

1 x DIY Lifepo4 battery (16 cells a 280ah)

I would like to buy 3 x Multiplus II 48/3000/35-32 and connect them to L1, L2 and L3. Using a current sensor I’d like to achieve zero feed in.

For the sake of simplicity lets just look a one phase:

So in my image this would be:

(A) connected to (B) : power grid and microinverter

(A) connected to (2) : power grid to ACin

(3) connected to (A) : ACout2 to power grid

So I have a direct connection between ACin and ACout2, no?

ACin is bi-directional, so you don't need to connect (3) to (A).

Do those 3 micro-inverters work as 3 phase system?

When (A) is connected to (B) there is no way to achieve "zero feed" unless you can set (B) to "zero feed".

You cannot connect (3) to (A).
