the Sunny Island.
2. Pull the negative DC cable through the conduit from the distribution board into the enclosure of
the Sunny Island.
3. Remove the coating.
4. Strip the DC cable insulation.
DC connection area
The areas between the stripped conductor and the connection area must be clean. This ensures
that the transition resistance and the heating of the terminal points is reduced.
The Sunny Island has a DC terminal for a maximum of 3/0 AWG for DC+, DC− and grounding
conductor.
5. Insert the negative DC conductor in the "DC–" terminal and tighten the fastening screw with a
torque of 21 ft-lb (28 Nm). Use an Allen key (8 mm).
6. Insert the positive DC conductor in the "DC+" terminal and tighten the fastening screw with a
torque of 21 ft-lb (28 Nm). Use an Allen key (8 mm).
