User Manual Please refer to the connection diagram for the correct positions of Grid CT and clamp the CT on the wires at the service entry point in the main service panel. The arrow on the CT is pointing to the inverter. (***Incorrectly install CT will cause The Display to show incorrect information and features of the inverter will not function correctly) If the CT is in a wrong direction, there is an option you can change the direction of the CT on your invertercall: CT Direction Reversed in Advanced Tab.
User Manual 2.5 AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION - There are two terminal blocks with “IN” and “OUT” markings. Please do NOT mis-connect input and output connectors. - Be sure to connect AC wires with correct polarity. If L and N wires are connected reversely, it may cause utility short-circuited when these inverters are worked in parallel operation.
User Manual 2.6 PV Connection Please follow below steps to implement PV module connection: 1. Remove insulation sleeve 10mm for positive and negative conductors. 2. Check correct polarity of connection cable from PV modules and PV input connectors. 3. Connect positive pole ( + ) of connection cable to positive pole ( + ) of PV input connector.
