Battery to Inverter Communication Cable 6.1.3 Install an isolation device Install an isolation device (i.e., a circuit breaker) between the inverter and the battery system to run both positive and negative conductor overcurrent protection. The steps for installing isolation devices (i.e., circuit breakers) are as follows: 1.
6.2 Single Unit Connection NOTICE Before electrical connection, ensure that the circuit breaker/power switch of the battery and all switches connected to the energy storage are in the OFF state. Otherwise, electric shock may occur. The rated output power of the cable connection is 3 kW; SOC>70% The output power is 5 kW. Install circuit breakers based on local regulations.
6.4 Communication Connection Step 1: Route the communications cable through the "RJ45 Water-proof Wiring Terminal(I)” Step 2: Connect the communications cable to the RJ45 port (labelled “Inverter”). Step 3: Tighten the RJ45 cable cover. Step 4: Connect the other end of the communication cable to the inverter. UM0046_Ai-LB 5K Pro_EN_V01_0124...
6.5 Power Cable Connection 6.6 Turn On Battery Step 1:Turn on the DC isolator on the BESS while the power switch is off. Step 2:Press the “Power Switch” to turn on battery. After five seconds, the blue LED flashes to indicate normal operation. Step 3:Close the top cover after the battery is turned on.
