IQ8MC/IQ8AC/IQ8HC Installation and Operation Manual
Only use electrical system components approved for wet locations.
Only competent personnel should install, troubleshoot, or replace Enphase
microinverters or IQ Cable and accessories.
Make sure that all AC and DC wiring is correct and that none of the AC or DC
cables are pinched, shorted, or damaged. Make sure that all AC junction boxes
are properly closed.
Do not exceed the maximum number of microinverters in an AC branch circuit
as listed in the manual. You must protect each microinverter AC branch circuit
with a 20 A (single-phase and multi-phase) maximum breaker or fuse, as
appropriate.
Do not use Enphase equipment in a manner not specified by the manufacturer.
Doing so may cause death or injury to persons or damage to equipment.
Be aware that installation of this equipment includes a risk of electric shock.
The DC conductors of this photovoltaic system are ungrounded and may be
energized.
Always de-energize the AC branch circuit before servicing. Never disconnect
the DC or AC connectors under load.
Before installing or using the Enphase microinverter, read all instructions and
cautionary markings in the technical description, on the Enphase equipment,
and on the photovoltaic (PV) equipment.
Do not connect Enphase microinverters to the grid or energize the AC
circuit(s) until you have completed all the installation procedures and have
received approval from the electrical network operator.
When the PV array is exposed to light, DC voltage is supplied to the power
conversion equipment (PCE).
Risk of equipment damage. Enphase male and female connectors must only be
mated with the identical type and brand of male/female connector.
To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty requirements, install the
Enphase equipment according to the instructions in this manual.
The AC and DC connectors on the cabling are rated as a disconnect only
when used with an Enphase microinverter.
Protection against lightning and resulting voltage surge must be in
accordance with local electrical codes and standards.
Perform all electrical installations in accordance with all applicable local
electrical codes and standards.
The chassis of the Enphase microinverter is the heat sink. Under normal
operating conditions, the temperature could be 20°C above ambient
temperature, but under extreme conditions, the microinverter can reach a
temperature of 90°C. To reduce the risk of burns, use caution when working
with microinverters.
The DC conductors of the PV module must be labelled "PV Wire" or "PV Cable"
when paired with the Enphase microinverter.
Only competent personnel may connect the Enphase microinverter to the
electricity grid.
Do not attempt to repair the Enphase microinverter; it contains no user-
serviceable parts. If it fails, contact
merchandise authorization (RMA) number and start the replacement process.
Tampering with or opening the Enphase microinverter will void the warranty.
