2. Electrical planning, design and wiring • It is recommended to use UV resistant PV cables. These must have a minimum cross-section of 4 mm (12 AWG) and be heat-resistant up to at least 90°C (194°F). 2.1 Scope of application • Identical connection plugs (same manufacturer, same plug The PV modules are suitable for the following applications: types) must be used for the extension and connection • Operating ambient temperature -40°C to +45°C cables. MBI uses different plug types. • Module operating temperature -40°C to +85°C • These are indicated by numbering on the module label. • P ressure loads of max. 8,200 Pa and tensile loads of max. Please refer to the explanation on the data sheet for the 4,000 Pa (including safety factor 1.5) corresponding plug type.
• Always connect the cables with a suitable identical plug, do not trap them and protect them from mechanical stress. • E nsure that the cables are routed so that there are no loops (minimise the risk of induction during thunderstorms). • I t is recommended to place PV modules with the same orientation and inclination in a string to achieve maximum yields. • C onnect the module string to an inverter suitable for the 2.7 Safety during electrical installation layout. The following safety instructions must be observed at all times: 2.9 Equipotential bonding, grounding and lightning pro- • Work may only be carried out by qualified personnel. tection • T he applicable safety instructions and regulations must be observed.

• Meyer Burger only recommends using UL listed and certi- fied methods as shown below: Method 1: Use a certified grounding mean • We require the installation of the certified equip- ment from ILSCO Corp. in the displayed order of installation in the picture. • Use a stainless steel bolt and nut, a star washer and a spring washer. • The tightening torque of the grounding lug to the module frame shall be 20 lbs-in (2.3 Nm). • The tightening torque of the in-field grounding wire (12 AWG) shall be 20 lbs-in (2.3 Nm). Method 2: Use a mounting system integrated grounding • Electrically bond Meyer Burger solar modules to UL2703 certified integrated grounding methods of a mounting system.
