Page 14: Electrical Installation
The Autarco inverter is equipped with an integrated Residual Current Protective Device (RCPD) and Residual Current Operated Monitor (RCOM). The RCOM will detect the volume of the leakage current and compare it with the expected value, if the leakage current exceeds the permitted range, the RCPD will disconnect the inverter from the AC load. - Page 15 installation and operation manual Step 1 — Slide the cable gland cap, cable gland body and adapter to the cable. Step 2 — Strip outer jacket 60mm and strip each cable insulation about 12±1mm. Step 3 — Insert cable strands into connector socket, and lock the screws. Make sure to fit the ground wire into the PE hole.
- Page 16 The selection of the mains circuit breaker rating depends on the wiring design (wire cross- section area), cable type, wiring method, ambient temperature, inverter current rating etc. Derating of the circuit breaker rating may be necessary due to self-heating or if exposed to heat. MX3000(S) MX3600(S) MX4600(S) Max.
