DMEGC AC Module Installation Manual WARNING: Risk of equipment damage The Enphase Microinverter is not protected from damage due to moisture trapped in cabling systems. Never mate microinverters to cables that have been left disconnected and exposed to wet conditions. This voids the Enphase warranty.
Use the terminator to seal the conductor end of the Enphase Q Cable; no other method is allowed. 2. The Enphase IQ System The Enphase IQ System includes: Enphase IQ Microinverters for DMEGC AC Module, The smart grid ready Micros convert the DC output of the PV module into grid-compliant AC power.
DMEGC AC Module Installation Manual 2.1 How the AC Module Works The Enphase Microinverter maximizes energy production by using a sophisticated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Each Enphase Microinverter is individually connected to one PV module in your array. This configuration enables an individual MPPT to control each PV module, ensuring that maximum power available from each PV module is exported to the utility grid regardless of the performance of the other PV modules in the array.

Verify that all fittings are properly installed to protect cables against damage and prevent moisture intrusion. Check your local codes for requirements. Step 15: Ground the DMEGC ACMs Choose to use grounding clamps or module mounting holes to ground the modules. Or, you can use a reliable third-party grounding system.
Page 21
Place the grounding wire through the grounding clamp and tighten the nuts. Method C: Grounding with third party hardware. You can use third party grounding devices for grounding of DMEGC modules, but these devices must be reliable and must be operated per manufacturer instructions. Step 16: Set Up and Activate Monitoring Refer to the Enphase Envoy-S Quick Install Guide to install the Envoy-S and set up system monitoring and grid management functions.
DMEGC AC Module Installation Manual 5. Troubleshooting Follow all the safety measures described throughout this manual. Qualified personnel can use the following troubleshooting steps if the PV system does not operate correctly. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Do not attempt to repair the Enphase Microinverter; it contains no user-serviceable parts.
DMEGC AC Module Installation Manual sensor reset if the cause of the failure is still present. If the condition persists, contact your installer. Method 1: Clear this Error Using Enlighten A. Log in to Enlighten and access the system. B. Click the Events tab. The next screen shows a current DC Resistance Low - Power Off condition for the system.
DMEGC AC Module Installation Manual G. Visually check that the AC branch circuit connections (Enphase Q Cable and AC connections) are properly seated. Reseat if necessary. Check also for damage, such as rodent damage. H. Make sure that any upstream AC disconnects, as well as the dedicated circuit breakers for each AC branch circuit, are functioning properly and are closed.
