This CPS family has two transformerless three-phase string inverters, the SCH200K-T-US-480 and the SCH250K-T-US-600. The 480 V model is rated at 200 kW AC and the 600 V model at 250 kW AC, both at 60 Hz. Output derating applies. Peak efficiency is 98.5% for the 200 kW model and 98.8% for the 250 kW model. CEC efficiency is 98.0% and 98.4%. Each unit has a single MPP tracker that operates from 860 to 1450 Vdc and starts up at 900 V. Power factor is adjustable to ±0.8. The DC side has Type II MOV surge protection and either DC switches or a DC disconnect, depending on the wire box type. An arc board provides DC arc detection. If ArcboardErr appears, check the arc board logic connector, run the arc fault test from the app, and replace the arc board or wire box if the alarm comes back. Common faults include CommErr, an internal communication failure, and ExtFanErr or IntFanErr, a cooling fan failure. For either, wait five minutes, check the fans for foreign objects, and reboot by switching off the three-phase supply before calling CPS service. A Modbus register map covers both models and lists firmware V01.15 as applicable.
<!-- review notes
- sentence 1: support check: partial - Two transformerless models are shown, but 'three-phase' and 'string inverter' are not stated in the passages.
- sentence 8: support check: partial - The passage lists V01.15 as applicable firmware for both models, but doesn't say it is a Modbus register map.
- sentence 1: review: partial - The passages show both models and that they are transformerless, but they do not say three-phase or string inverter.
- sentence 7: review: partial - The fault meanings and steps are supported, but the fan foreign-object check appears only for the fan errors, so 'for either' wrongly applies it to CommErr too.

CHINT POWER SYSTEMS
Models are branded CPS, and the manual refers fault escalation to CPS Customer Service.
review note: support check: partial - Passages show CPS branding and CPS Customer Service, but never state the maker is CHINT POWER SYSTEMS.

Inverter
review note: support check: partial - Passages describe a transformerless unit with AC output power, implying an inverter, but never say it is an inverter explicitly.

Maximum power point tracking
Each model has a single MPP tracker.
review note: support check: partial - Single MPP tracker per model is stated, implying MPPT, though MPPT is not named explicitly.

Modbus
Conditions: Modbus map lists firmware V01.15 as applicable for SCH250K-T-US-600 / SCH200K-T-US-480
review note: support check: partial - The map lists firmware V01.15 as applicable to both models, but the passage doesn't name Modbus as the protocol.; review: partial - The row only lists applicable models and firmware V01.15; Modbus appears only in the source document's name (a Modbus map), not in the passage text.
