This chapter explains the requirements and process for wiring the DC wiring to the unit.
Read carefully before starting the connection process.
INFO
Consult section "Important safety instructions"

9.1. Safety instructions for the DC connection

DANGER
Make sure there is no voltage present on the unit before starting the connection.
Do not switch on the power to the unit until you have successfully made the rest of the connections and the unit
is closed.
Use the Personal Protective Equipment specified in section
While connecting the inverter, make sure of the proper installation of the cables on the unit´s terminals so that
parts of accessible wires do not remain live.
When the PV array is exposed to sunlight the inverter has DC voltage.
CAUTION
Ingeteam accepts no liability for any damages caused by an incorrect connection.
INFO
The wiring must be routed inside the unit via a conduit, which is inserted through a coupling in order to
maintain the unit's protection class.

9.2. Wiring requirements for the DC connection

CAUTION
The type of cabling for the connection must have dimensions in line with current regulations in the country of
installation and according to the type of installation and maximum current and voltage of the PV array.

9.2.1. STD Version

The maximum current allowed per unit is 168 Adc. The admissible section for the DC cables is 70 mm
300 mm , with cable diameters between 12 and 35 mm. The cables must finish in an M12 spade terminal. The
2
maximum width of the spade must not exceed 40 mm.
The cable conductor material may be copper or aluminum. If the connection of aluminum cables is required, the
installer must provide the necessary means to prevent galvanic coupling (bipolar terminals, bimetallic interfaces,
etc.).

9.2.2. PRO Version

This version accepts up to 20 strings. The inverter includes the aerial photovoltaic connectors required for
connecting each string to the unit. The references of the photovoltaic connectors supplied are Phoenix contact
Sunclix PV-C4F-S 2.5-6 (+) and PV-C4M-S 2.5-6 (-).
The accepted section for the aerial connectors is 2.5 mm
must be connected, there is the option of using Phoenix contact Sunclix PV-CF-S 6-16 (+) and PV-CM-S 6-16 (-)
connectors, which allow a section range of 6 mm
To perform the connection between the string cables and their corresponding connectors, see the manufacturer
documentation.
