Page 9: Battery Connection
3.3 Battery Connection For safe operation and compliance, a separate DC over-current protector or disconnect device is required between the battery and the inverter. In some applications, switching devices may not be required but over-current protectors are still required. Refer to the typical amperage in the table below for the required fuse or circuit breaker size. -

Page 11: Ac Input/Output Connection
3.4 AC Input/Output Connection • Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between the inverter and AC input power source. This will ensure the inverter can be securely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over current of AC input. The recommended AC breaker is 25A for 3.6kW and 32A for 5kW. -
Page 12: Pv Connection
3.5 PV Connection Before connecting to PV modules, please install a separate DC circuit breaker between the inverter and PV modules. It is very important for system safety and efficient operation to use the appropriate cable for PV module connection. To reduce risk of injury, please use the recommended cable size as below. Model Wire Size Cable (mm²) -
