NOTICE! Make sure to set the correct grid standard as part of system commissioning, see chapeter 6.6. 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 glad cap, cable gland body and adapter to the cable. Step 2 — Strip outer jacket 60mm and strip each cable insolation 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 Step 4 — Fit the adapter, cable gland body and cable glad cap to the connector as per below. NOTICE! It is important that the AC wires are connected to the right terminals as indicated by the “L”, “N” and “Earthing” symbols on each AC connector. In some countries a second protective conductor is required as a matter of principle.
