7 Electrical Connection

7.1 Safety

Danger to life due to lethal voltages in the inverter!
Before performing any work on the inverter, must disconnect both AC and DC sides.
Danger
Damage to electronic components may happen due to electrostatic discharge. Take appropriate ESD
precautions when replacing and installing the inverter.
Warning

7.2 Recommended Cables

Cable Name
DC input cable
PV cable, above 600V.
Three cores outdoor cable with
AC output cable
copper conductor (L, N, PE).
Single core outdoor cable with
PE cable
copper conductor.
Note: No cable is supplied.

7.3 Meter / CT Connection (Optional)

The inverter has integrated export limitation functionality. To use this function, a power meter or a CT must be
installed.
For installation and operation methods, see Appendix part of meter and CT installation guides.

7.4 Wiring PE Cable

To achieve ground protection purpose, the inverter must be connected to the AC grounding conductor of the utility
grid via PE cable.
Because of the transformerless design, the DC positive pole and DC negative pole of PV arrays
cannot do grounding.
Warning
Note: The PE point at the AC output point is used only as a PE equipotential point, and cannot substitute for the PE
point on the enclosure.
Procedure:
1) Insert the grounding conductor into the suitable terminal lug and crimp the contact.
2) Fix terminal lug on external ground point by screw M4x10. Torque: 1.4 N.m.
