Connecting Cables

Preparations

Notice

• Connect cables in accordance with local installation laws and regulations.
• The cable specifications must comply with local standards.
• Before connecting cables, ensure that the DC switch of the solar inverter and all the switches connected to it are set to OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage produced by the solar inverter may cause electric shocks.

Connecting a PE Cable

DANGER
Do not connect the neutral wire to the enclosure as a PE cable. Otherwise, electric shocks may occur. Note

• The PE point at the AC output port is used only as a PE equipotential point, not a substitute for the PE point on the enclosure.
• It is recommended that silica gel or paint be applied around the ground terminal after the PE cable is connected.

Installing the AC Output Power Cable

Notice

• Use a socket wrench and extension rod to connect the AC power cable. The extension rod must be longer than 100 mm.
• Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force majeure.
• Do not install third-party devices in the AC connection box.
• You need to prepare M8 OT terminals by yourself.

1. Remove the AC terminal box and install partition boards.
2. Connect the AC output power cable (using a five-core cable as an example).

Note

• To avoid damaging the rubber liner, do not route a cable with a crimped OT terminal directly through it.
• It is recommended that the length of the PE cable to be stripped be 15 mm longer than the length of other cables.
• The cable colors in the figures are for reference only. Select appropriate cables according to the local standards.
• A three-core AC output power cable can be connected similarly. The three-core cable (L1, L2, and L3) is not connected to the neutral wire or PE wire.
• A four-core or five-core AC output power cable can be connected similarly. The four-core cable (L1, L2, L3, and PE) is not connected to the N wire, and the four-core cable (L1, L2, L3, and N) is not connected to the PE wire.
