Page 24: Connecting The Ac Output
Installation Technologie AG 6.2. 1 Connecting the AC Output To connect the AC cable, proceed as follows: Check the grid voltage. The Sunny Boys were prepared for the DIN VDE 0126-- 1-1 in two steps. In the first step the inverter disconnects from the grid when the grid voltage exceeds 253 V. - Page 25 Technologie AG Installation Connect the earth wire (PE) of the mains cable to the upper screw terminal with the earth sign. Reconnect the PE connection on the cover. Fix the housing cover of the and tighten the four screws evenly. Notice! A normal operation of your Sunny Boy requires, among other things, con- necting the PE conductor to the equipotential bonding of the building.
