    The voltage types are either single-phase or three-phase. All Engage Cable connectors bear labels indicating the voltage designation. Single-phase (3G2.5) Engage Cable includes three conductors. Three-phase (5G2.5) Engage Cable includes five conductors. Because Enphase microinverters output onto one phase, the 5G2.5 Engage Cable balances the phases by rotating conductor use from one microinverter to the next as shown in the following diagram.
