Disconnect A Microinverter From The Pv Module - enphase M215 Installation And Operation Manual

Disconnect a Microinverter from the PV Module

To ensure the microinverter is not disconnected from the PV modules under load, adhere to the following
disconnection steps in the order shown:
1. De-energize the AC branch circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect the microinverter from the Engage Cable as follows:
The Enphase AC connectors are tool-removable only. To disconnect a microinverter from the
Engage Cable, insert the two large prongs of the disconnect tool (shown below) into the two holes
in the drop connector. Rock the connector back and forth while pulling gently to disengage.
If the disconnect tool is not available, insert a #3 Phillips screwdriver into one hole, and rock that
side of the drop connector out. Then, insert the screwdriver into the other hole and pull the
connector out entirely.
3. Using a clamp on meter, verify there is no current flowing in the DC wires between the PV module
and the microinverter.
4. Take care when measuring DC current, as most clamp-on meters must be zeroed first and tend to
drift with time.
5. Disconnect the PV module DC wire connectors from the microinverter using the Enphase
disconnect tool.
6. Remove the microinverter from the mounting rail.
WARNING: Do not leave AC connectors on the Engage Cable uncovered for an extended
period. If you do not plan to replace the microinverter immediately, you must cover any unused
connector with a sealing cap. Sealing caps may not be reused.
