Connect Pv Side Of Inverter - CanadianSolar CSI-185K-T600GL03-U Installation And Operation Manual

3. Installation
4) Insert the stripped wire into the OT terminal crimping area and use the hydraulic
clamp to crimp the terminal to the wire.
Figure 3.10 Strip wire
Important:
After crimping the terminal to the wire, inspect the connection to ensure the
terminal is solidly crimped to the wire.
5) Remove the screw from the heat sink ground point.
6) Connect the grounding cable to the grounding point on the heat sink, and tighten the
grounding screw, Torque is 7.4-8.9 ft.lbs

3.4.2 Connect PV side of inverter

WARNING
Before connecting the inverter, make sure the PV array open circuit voltage
is within the limit of the inverter. Otherwise, the inverter could be damaged.
WARNING
DO NOT connect the PV array positive or PV array negative cable to ground.
This can cause serious damage to the inverter!
WARNING
MAKE SURE the polarity of the PV array output conductors matches
the DC- and DC+ terminal labels before connecting these conductors
to the terminals of the inverter.
WARNING
Please use the original DC MC4 terminals, otherwise the unqualified
DC connectors may cause damages to the inverter.
Important:
The inverter has a DC fuseless design with internal overcurrent protection.
It is not needed to install any external DC string fuses or DC circuit breakers.
If customers want to have redundant protection, they can choose to install
external DC overcurrent protection devices with 1.5~2.4 times of the string Impp.
External DC overcurrent protection devices shall comply with IEC/EN 60269-6.
Please see table 3.1 for acceptable wire size for DC connections.Wire must be copper only.
The steps to assemble the DC connectors are listed as follows:
1. Strip off the DC wire for about 7mm, Disassemble the connector cap nut.
2. Insert the wire into the connector cap nut and contact pin.
Figure 3.12 Disassemble the Connector Cap nut
3. Crimp the contact pin to the wire using a proper wire crimper.
4. Insert metal connector into top of connector, and tighten nut with torque 3-4 Nm.
