  • Page 22: Wiring

    1. Make sure whether the voltage values, polarities are correct. 2. When grounding of the solar array is necessary, an isolation transformer is required due to the RPI-H3/RPI-H5 not having a galvanic isolation between the DC-input and AC-output. 3. The ground fault detection is a fixed internal setting. It always works and can not be modified.
