E. Current transformer clipping

Clipping the current transformers onto the service side cable:
1.  Match the labelled CTs with their corresponding labelled 

service supply cable.

2.  Confirm correct polarity of the CT by ensuring  

the arrow on the CT head matches the current  

flow direction on service supply cable.

3. Clip CT over service supply cable.

Important:

Before commissioning re-check all CTs and output cables are connected as per their labels.

To commission the SolShare:
1.  Pull down cover of SolShare. Fasten shut by replacing the 4 

screws on the underside of the SolShare, that were removed 

in section III/A.1.

2. Switch on all solar  circuit breakers and unit main switches.
3. Switch on inverter main switch.
4.  Contact Allume to run the SolShare commissioning script
5.  Monitor inverter’s grid connect process until solar  

begins outputting. If inverter cannot establish grid  

connection call +61 394 270 005 or contact  

[email protected]

6.  Once solar begins outputting, please send an email  

to [email protected] to notify Allume  

of SolShare commissioning. The email must include  

a photo of the completed ‘Product Registration  

document’ (see page 5)

Important:

The CT must be connected on the service side 

of the unit main switch, as per diagram.

Important:

Solar is connected only on one line, however  

connect CTs on both incoming supply lines as  

per diagram.
