Choosing The Location General; Choosing The Location - Fronius IG 2000 Operating Instructions Manual

Choosing the To get the most out of your FRONUS IG unit, observe the following rules:

AC conductor cable resistance between the FRONIUS IG unit and the
house distribution panel should not exceed 0.5 Ohm. This can be achie-
