External Earthing Connection; Photovoltaic Panel Connection - Salicru EQUINOX EQX2 3001-HSX User Manual

5.3.2. External earthing connection.

Do not connect the neutral N wire as a protective
earthing wire to the inverter housing. This may cause
electric shock.
Danger
An optimal earthing connection can withstand resist
surge discharges and improve EMI performance.
Attention Inverters must be properly earthed.
For systems with a single inverter, the PE wire must be
earthed.
For a multi-inverter system, all PE cables from the
inverters must be connected to the same copper earthing
bar to ensure equipotential bonding.
Steps for connecting the terminal to earth:
The external earthing connection terminal is located on the
1.
lower right side of the inverter.
Fasten the earthing connection terminal to the PE cable with
2.
a suitable tool and lock the earthing connection terminal to
the earthing connection hole on the bottom right side of the
inverter as shown in Fig. 36.
The cross-sectional area of the external earthing cable is
3.
4 mm .

5.3.3. Photovoltaic panel connection.

The following must be taken into account when making the
1.
electrical connections to the inverter:
Disconnect the AC switch on the grid side.
a.
The inverter's DC switch must be set to "OFF".
b.
To ensure that the best practices are followed, check that
c.
the photovoltaic panels connected in each string are of the
same model and specifications.
Check that the maximum output voltage of each photovol-
d.
taic string does not exceed the maximum voltage speci-
fied in the table of technical characteristics in the section
"9. Technical features.".
Insert the relevant DC circuit breakers, according to the
