5 Electrical Connection 5.1 Battery System Cable Connection The HEC2 RESS system (without inverter) is cableless installation design which includes pre-installed internal connections. The modular stack installation directly plug-in and completes the series connection between battery modules. The connec - BMS main box) and the inverter requires a cable connection using PCS-BAT connector which includes power connection, communication and grounding.
To avoid any malfunction, do not connect PV module with a potential for current leakage to the inverter. For example, grounded PV modules will cause current leakage. When connecting PV modules, make sure that they are NOT grounded. It is recommended to use a PV junction box with surge protection. Otherwise, if lightning strikes the PV modules, it will cause damage to the inverter.
