Take care that the communication cable is routed through the inter-cabinet coupler so that there is no stress or tension on the terminations. This cable is terminated with RJ-50, 10-pin connectors. -
Page 17: Ac Power Connections
6.1 AC power connections This battery system contains two independent AC power connection ports; one port dedicated for an electrical utility connection, marked “AC Grid”, the other port dedicated for backup operation, marked “AC load”. This product’s primary application is intended for utility interconnection, and must be connected to a utility electrical service supplying single phase 230 Vac / 50 Hz. -
Page 18: Chassis Grounding
6.2 Chassis Grounding In this section, “Chassis Ground” is referred to as “ground” or “grounding” unless otherwise mentioned. The PCS cabinet is shipped with ungrounded DC power terminals within the inverter. When terminated to the batteries, the DC bus is configured for DC negative to ground. AC Grid Earthing System: The AC power grounding is achieved through the PE terminals of the AC grid connectors on the AC Filter Board, as shown in section 6.1. -
Page 19: Rs-485 Communication Connection
This system is supplied with split-core CTs for installation without interruption to the electrical service. The CTs must be mounted on the primary electrical bus, between the main service breaker disconnect and the utility’s energy meter. This is important to ensure all loads and generation are captured for optimum performance of the solar self consumption control algorithms. -
