Foreword This manual is intended to help the user of the 827E to install, test, troubleshoot, and understand the system. If you have any questions or problems, please contact one of the following sources: SERVICE If for any reason further assistance is needed on any power equipment, complete engineering and field service groups are available in Galion, Ohio, to assist you in any way possible.
Please take a moment when the product is new to fill in this information. This data will allow faster service when calling ABB to order accessories, spare parts, or request field service. First, locate the product information label. This is typically located on the upper front of the equipment frame, or on the rear of the frame.
Product Description The 827E Inverter System (inverter system) provides AC power output from DC power input. Inverters (inverter modules) work in parallel supporting redundancy (N + 1 or N + X). This enables the system to supply uninterrupted AC power in the event that an inverter fails.

A maintenance bypass panel is optional for the 827E. Refer to the J-Drawing (J438827E L51 and L52). The main purpose of the MBP is to allow an AC load to be switched from its primary source (827E Inverter Plant) to an alternate source (AC Line) and back to the primary source (827E Inverter Plant) again.
Installation Equipment Included In Shipment Included in a shipment of an 827E inverter system are an inverter shelf or shelves (each equipped with a System Controller and a Distribution Disconnect Module) and inverters and/or blank panels quantities as specified on the inverter system order.
Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 for −BAT input location. Refer to Table 2 for more details. When the 827E is installed using the maintenance bypass switch and NOT as a Separately Derived System the GEC Neutral Bond Strap as depicted in Figure 12 must be removed. Refer to NEC Article 100 for definition of a Separately Derived system.
Determining connections for your configuration: There are several contributing documents to consider when bonding a GEC to the 827E converter system: Customer specific standards, state and local codes, and Article 250 from the NEC are primary sources. Customer specific installation publications may also address differences in inverter installations in Isolated Ground Plane and Integrated Ground Plane environments.
NOTE: Connection to a PC requires a PC data transfer (null) cable. This serial interface complies with the PC/AT standard. Recommended Interface Cables are: ABB: P/N 6370189P-1 (This cable is included with kit 6820014P). Radio Shack: P/N 26-152, 9-pin Female to 9-pin Female Cable used with P/N 26-264, 9-pin Null...
1. Loosen the retaining screw. 2. Remove the module from the shelf. 3. If returning the inverter to the shop or ABB for repair, place the module in an ESD bag, then in a small box to protect the module during shipping and handling.
The 827e inverters are totally independent, connected only by the common AC bus. This design allows inverters to hot plug, which is critical to no-break maintenance and upgrade.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting of the system is limited to performing the start-up and operational checks. If further assistance is required, contact the ABB Field Service at the numbers listed in the front matter of this manual. Whenever a malfunction occurs, the first step must be a good physical inspection of the system. Try to find out whether the malfunction is caused by the system or by its environment (e.g.
