Figure 12 - Steps for installing the inverter on the wall 4. Electrical connections General information in this chapter This chapter describes the electrical connections of the 1.1K-3K TL inverter. Carefully read this section before connecting the cables. NOTE: Before making any electrical connections, ensure that the DC circuit breaker is switched off. Please note that the capacitors in the inverter may remain electrically charged after the DC circuit breaker has been switched off.
Figure 13 – Steps for connecting the cables 4.2. Ground cable connections (PGND) Connect the 1.1K-3K TL inverter to the ground electrode using ground protection cables (PGND). The inverter does not have a transformer, therefore the positive pole and negative pole of the photovoltaic string does NOT need to be grounded.
