The PVS-60-TL-US is a FIMER three-phase string inverter family rated at 60 kW active power and 60 kVA apparent power, with a 480 Vac rated output voltage. It is rated for 60 kVAR of reactive power, and the manual says full rated power is available across a grid voltage band around the nominal value. It communicates over Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP, and the manufacturer describes that interface as SunSpec compliant. The R variant has one input channel with screw-terminal DC connections, no string fuses and support for rapid shutdown. The S and SC variants have three input channels, or one if the inputs are paralleled. They have fused positive and negative string inputs, using fuse holders on the S and quick-fit connectors on the SC, and they do not support rapid shutdown. Every variant has a DC switch and Class II surge protection on both the DC and AC sides. From week 17 of 2020, PVS-50/60-TL units ship with Stäubli MC4 DC connectors.
