The AC output connector is divided into three parts: matching socket, sleeve and sealing- sleeve, as shown in picture 5.7, the steps are as follows: Step 1: Remove the cable sealing ring and sleeve in sequence from the AC connector. Step 2: Separate the sleeve from the matching socket,as shown in picture 5.7, the connector body has two locking holes, and press the locking valve in the hole inward to separate the matching socket from the sleeve.
Page 18
Step 5: Use the hexagon screwdriver, loosen the bolts of the socket in turn, and insert each cable core into the corresponding jack, and set each screw. The connec�on hole of AC connec�on terminal labeling is shown in picture 5.9. Pic 5.9 AC Connector Hole Pa�ern Step 6: Set the sleeve and sealing ring in place.

5.3 The connec�on of the ground line Good grounding is good for resis�ng surge voltage shock and improving EMI perfor- mance.Therefore, before connec�ng AC, DC and communica�on cables, you need to ground the cable firstly. For a single system, just ground the PE cable. For mul�ple machine systems, all PE cables of the inverter need to be connected to the same grounding copper platoon to ensure the equipoten�al connec�on.
