AC Output
Refer to Figure 10.
1.
Rear cover should already be removed from installing the DC input.
2.
Make sure AC Load Disconnect Breaker is "OFF" (located on the Distribution Disconnect Module).
3.
Remove a conduit knockout from the right side of the plant (as facing the rear of the plant) (there are two
openings; one on the back right and one on the bottom right). If wiring to an MBS or AC distribution panel, use

way.
4.
Refer to Table 3 for recommended wire and terminal sizes for connecting the AC outputs.
5.
Connect the AC outputs via the terminal block located near the bottom right corner on the rear of the system.

The modular nature of the system allows individual inverters to work in parallel (load share). By
calculating the actual load and adding 1 additional inverter the system will be configured for
“
N+1
”
redundancy, adding a second would be N+2, etc. When configured in this fashion, if an inverter fails,
the system will not go into current limit. It will seamlessly continue to supply the needed power.
Example with 10 A

Inverters:
Power output needed = 100 amps = 10 x –

Example with 5 A

Inverters:
Power output needed = 25 amps = 5 x +24 Vdc 5 A
