EN NL FR DE ES SE Appendix

1. General Description

1.1 Charge current up to 35A and PV voltage up to 150V

The SmartSolar MPPT 150/35 charge controller is able to

charge a lower nominal-voltage battery from a higher nominal

voltage PV array.

The controller will automatically adjust to a 12V, 24V or a 48V

nominal battery voltage.

1.2 Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Especially in case of a clouded sky, when light intensity is

changing continuously, an ultra fast MPPT controller will

improve energy harvest by up to 30% compared to PWM charge

controllers and by up to 10% compared to slower MPPT

controllers.

1.3 Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in case of

partial shading conditions

If partial shading occurs, two or more maximum power points

may be present on the power-voltage curve.

Conventional MPPTs tend to lock to a local MPP, which may not

be the optimum MPP.

The innovative SmartSolar algorithm will always maximize

energy harvest by locking to the optimum MPP.

1.4 Outstanding conversion efficiency

No cooling fan. Maximum efficiency exceeds 98%. Full output

current up to 40°C (104°F).

1.5 Extensive electronic protection

Over-temperature protection and power derating when

temperature is high.

PV short circuit and PV reverse polarity protection.

PV reverse current protection.

1.6 Internal temperature sensor

Compensates absorption and float charge voltages for

temperature.

1.7 Automatic battery voltage recognition

The controller will automatically adjust itself to a 12V, 24V or a

48V system one time only. If a different system voltage is

required at a later stage, it must be changed manually, for

example with the Bluetooth app, see section 1.11.

1.8 Flexible charge algorithm

Fully programmable charge algorithm, and eight preprogrammed

algorithms, selectable with a rotary switch.

1.9 Adaptive three step charging

The SmartSolar MPPT Charge Controller is configured for a three

step charging process: Bulk – Absorption – Float.

1.9.1. Bulk

During this stage the controller delivers as much charge current

as possible to rapidly recharge the batteries.

1.9.2. Absorption

When the battery voltage reaches the absorption voltage setting,

the controller switches to constant voltage mode.

When only shallow discharges occur the absorption time is kept

short in order to prevent overcharging of the battery. After a deep

discharge the absorption time is automatically increased to make

sure that the battery is completely recharged. Additionally, the

absorption period is also ended when the charge current

decreases to less than 2A.

1.9.3. Float

During this stage, float voltage is applied to the battery to

maintain it in a fully charged state.

When the battery voltage drops below float voltage during at least

1 minute a new charge cycle will be triggered.

1.9.4. Equalization

See section 3.8.

1.10 Remote on-off

The MPPT 150/35 can be controlled remotely by a VE.Direct non

inverting remote on-off cable (ASS030550300). An input HIGH

(Vi > 8V) will switch the controller on, and an input LOW (V < 2V,

or free floating) will switch the controller off.

Application example: on/off control by a VE.Bus BMS when

charging Li-ion batteries.

3. Installation

WARNING: DC (PV) INPUT NOT ISOLATED FROM BATTERY

CIRCUIT

CAUTION: FOR PROPER TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

THE AMBIENT CONDITION FOR CHARGER AND BATTERY

MUST BE WITHIN 5°C.

3.1. General

● Mount vertically on a non-flammable substrate, with the power

terminals facing downwards. Observe a minimum clearance of 10 cm

under and above the product for optimal cooling.

● Mount close to the battery, but never directly above the battery (in

order to prevent damage due to gassing of the battery).

● Improper internal temperature compensation (e.g. ambient

condition battery and charger not within 5°C) can lead to reduced

battery lifetime.

We recommend installing the the Smart Battery Sense option in

case of larger temperature differences or extreme ambient

temperature conditions.

● Battery installation must be done in accordance with the storage

battery rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

● The battery and PV connections must be guarded against

inadvertent contact (e.g. install in an enclosure or install the optional

WireBox M).

3.2 Grounding

● Battery grounding: the charger can be installed in a positive or

negative grounded system.

Note: apply a single ground connection (preferably close to the

battery) to prevent malfunctioning of the system.

● Chassis grounding: A separate earth path for the chassis ground is

permitted because it is isolated from the positive and negative

terminal.

● The USA National Electrical Code (NEC) requires the use of an

external ground fault protection device (GFPD). These MPPT

chargers do not have internal ground fault protection. The system

electrical negative should be bonded through a GFPD to earth ground

at one (and only one) location.

● The charger must not be connected with grounded PV arrays. (one

ground connection only)

● The plus and minus of the PV array should not be grounded. Ground

the frame of the PV panels to reduce the impact of lightning.

6

WARNING: WHEN A GROUND FAULT IS INDICATED,

BATTERY TERMINALS AND CONNECTED CIRCUITS MAY BE

UNGROUNDED AND HAZARDOUS.

3.3. PV configuration (also see the MPPT Excel sheet on our

website)

● Provide a means to disconnect all current-carrying conductors

of a photovoltaic power source from all other conductors in a

building or other structure.

● A switch, circuit breaker, or other device, either ac or dc, shall

not be installed in a grounded conductor if operation of that

switch, circuit breaker, or other device leaves the grounded

conductor in an ungrounded state while the system remains

energized.

● The controller will operate only if the PV voltage exceeds

battery voltage (Vbat).

● PV voltage must exceed Vbat + 5V for the controller to start.

Thereafter minimum PV voltage is Vbat + 1V.

● Maximum open circuit PV voltage: 150V.

For example:

24V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels

● Minimum number of cells in series: 72 (2x 12V panel in series

or one 24V panel).

● Recommended number of cells for highest controller efficiency:

144 cells (4x 12V panel or 2x 24V panel in series).

● Maximum: 216 cells (6x 12V or 3x 24V panel in series).

48V battery and mono- or polycristalline panels

● Minimum number of cells in series: 144 (4x 12V panel or

2x 24V panel in series).

● Maximum: 216 cells.

Remark: at low temperature the open circuit voltage of a 216 cell

solar array may exceed 150V, depending on local conditions and

cell specifications. In that case the number of cells in series must

be reduced.

3.4 Cable connection sequence (see figure 1)

First: connect the battery.

Second: connect the solar array (when connected with reverse

polarity, the controller will heat up but will not charge the battery).

3.7 Battery charging information

The charge controller starts a new charge cycle every morning,

when the sun starts shining.

Default setting:

The maximum duration of the absorption period is determined

by the battery voltage measured just before the solar charger

starts up in the morning:

Battery voltage Vb (@start-up) Maximum absorption time

Vb < 23,8V 6h

23,8V < Vb < 24,4V 4h

24,4V < Vb < 25,2V 2h

Vb > 25,2V 1h

(divide voltages by 2 for a 12V system and multiply by two in

case of a 48V system)

If the absorption period is interrupted due to a cloud or due to a

power hungry load, the absorption process will resume when

absorption voltage is reached again later on the day, until the

absorption period has been completed.

The absorption period also ends when the output current of the

solar charger drops to less than 2Amps, not because of low

solar array output but because the battery is fully charged (tail

current cut off).

This algorithm prevents over charge of the battery due to daily

absorption charging when the system operates without load or

with a small load.

User defined algorithm:

Any setting change performed with Bluetooth or via VE.Direct will

override the rotary switch setting. Turning the rotary switch will

override prior settings made with Bluetooth or VE.Direct.

10

3.8 Automatic equalization

Automatic equalization is default set to ‘OFF’. With the Victron

Connect app (see sect 1.11) this setting can be configured with a

number between 1 (every day) and 250 (once every 250 days).

When automatic equalization is active, the absorption charge will

be followed by a voltage limited constant current period (see table

in section 3.5). The current is limited to 8% of the bulk current for

all VRLA (Gel or AGM) batteries and some flooded batteries, and

to 25% of the bulk current for all tubular plate batteries and the

user defined battery type. The bulk current is the rated charger

current unless a lower maximum current setting has been

chosen.

In case of all VRLA batteries and some flooded batteries

(algorithm number 0, 1, 2 or 3) automatic equalization ends when

the voltage limit maxV has been reached, or after t = (absorption

time)/8, whichever comes first.

For all tubular plate batteries and the user defined battery type

automatic equalization ends after t = (absorption time)/2.

When automatic equalisation is not completely finished within one

day, it will not resume the next day, and the next equalisation

session will take place as determined by the day interval.

1. Algemene beschrijving

1.1 Laadstroom tot 35A en PV-spanning tot 100V

De SmartSolar MPPT 100/35 laadcontroller kan een accu met

een lagere nominale spanning laden vanaf een PV-paneel met

een hogere nominale spanning.

De controller past zich automatisch aan aan een nominale

accuspanning van 12V, 24V of 48V.

1.2 Ultrasnelle Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Vooral als het bewolkt is en de lichtintensiteit voortdurend

verandert, verbetert een ultrasnelle MPPT-controller de

energieopbrengst tot 30% in vergelijking met PWM-

laadcontrollers en tot 10% in vergelijking met tragere MPPT-

controllers.

1.3 Advanced Maximum Power Point Detection in het geval

van wisselende schaduw

In het geval van wisselende schaduw kan de vermogen-

spanningscurve twee of meer maximale vermogenspunten

bevatten.

Conventionele MPPT's benutten meestal plaatselijke MPP,

hetgeen mogelijk niet het optimale MPP is.

Het innovatieve SmartSolar-algoritme maximaliseert de

energieopbrengst altijd door het optimale MPP te benutten.

1.4 Uitstekend omzettingsrendement

Geen koelventilator. Het maximale rendement bedraagt meer

dan 98%. Volledige uitgangsstroom tot 40°C (104°F).

1.5 Uitgebreide elektronische beveiliging

Beveiliging tegen overtemperatuur en vermogensvermindering

bij hoge temperaturen.

Beveiliging tegen PV-kortsluiting en omgekeerde PV-polariteit.

Beveiliging tegen PV-sperstroom.

2

1.6 Interne temperatuursensor

Compenseert absorptie- en druppelladingsspanningen voor

temperatuur.

1.7 Automatische herkenning van de accuspanning

De controller past zich slechts een keer automatisch aan aan

een 12V-, 24V- of een 48V-systeem. Als op een later moment

een andere systeemspanning is vereist, moet deze handmatig

worden gewijzigd, bijvoorbeeld met de Bluetooth-app, zie

paragraaf 1.11.

1.8 Flexibel laadalgoritme

Volledig programmeerbaar laadalgoritme en acht

voorgeprogrammeerde algoritmes die met een draaischakelaar

gekozen kunnen worden.

1.9 Adaptief drietraps laden

De SmarSolar MPPT-laadcontroller is geconfigureerd voor een

drietraps oplaadproces: Bulklading, absorptielading en

druppellading.

1.9.1. Bulklading

Tijdens deze fase levert de controller zoveel mogelijk laadstroom

om de accu's snel op te laden.

1.9.2. Absorptielading

Als de accuspanning de ingestelde absorptiespanning bereikt,

schakelt de controller over op de constante spanningsmodus.

Als enkel lichte ontladingen optreden, wordt de absorptietijd kort

gehouden om overlading van de accu te voorkomen. Na een

diepe ontlading wordt de absorptietijd automatisch verhoogd om

ervoor te zorgen dat de accu opnieuw volledig wordt geladen.

Daarnaast wordt de absorptietijd ook beëindigd als de laadstroom

onder 2A daalt.

1.9.3. Druppellading

Tijdens deze fase wordt de druppelladingsspanning toegepast op

de accu om deze volledig opgeladen te houden.

Wanneer de accuspanning minimaal 1 minuut onder de

druppelladingsspanning daalt, wordt een nieuwe laadcyclus

geactiveerd.

1.9.4. Egalisatie

Zie hoofdstuk 3.8.

1.10 Aan/uit op afstand

De MPPT 150/35 kan op afstand worden bestuurd door een

VE.Direct niet-omvormende kabel voor het op afstand in- of

uitschakelen (ASS030550300). De ingang HIGH (Vi > 8V)

schakelt de controller in en de ingang LOW (V < 2V, of ‘free

floating’) schakelt de controller uit.

Toepassingsvoorbeeld: in-/uitschakelen op afstand door een

VE.Bus BMS voor het opladen van lithium-ionaccu's.

1.11 Configuratie en bewaking

- Bluetooth Smart ingebouwd: De draadloze oplossing om de

controller in te stellen, te bewaken en te updaten via Apple- of

Android-smartphones, -tablets of andere apparaten.

- Gebruik de VE.Direct naar USB-kabel (ASS030530000) om

verbinding te maken met een pc, een smartphone met Android

en USB On-The-Go support (extra USB OTG-kabel vereist).

- Gebruik een VE.Direct naar VE.Direct-kabel om verbinding te

maken met een MPPT Control, een Color Control of de Venus

GX.
