3. Installation

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

Prior to starting the wiring procedure, ensure 

that the three-pole circuit breaker is switched off and cannot be reconnected.

NOTE 

Damage or destruction of the inverter's electronic components due to 
moisture and dust intrusion will occur if the enclosure opening is enlarged.

CAUTION 

Risk of fire if two conductors are connected to one terminal. If a 
connection of two conductors to a terminal is made, a fire can occur. 
NEVER CONNECT MORE THAN ONE CONDUCTOR PER TERMINAL.

NOTE

Use M10 crimp terminals to connect to the inverter AC terminals

NOTE:

S2 (insulation stripping length) is 2mm-3mm longer than S1. 
(OT cable terminal crimping area) 

3) Leave the AC breaker disconnected to ensure it does not close unexpectedly.

4) Remove the 4 screws on the inverter junction box and remove the junction box 

cover (Figure 3.27).

    

2)  Strip the insulation of the wire past the cable crimping area of the OT terminal,

then use a hydraulic crimp tool to crimp the terminal. The crimped portion of the terminal 

must be

 

insulated with heat shrinkable tube or insulating tape.

1)  Strip the end of AC cable insulating jacket about 11.8 inch then strip the end of each wire. 

(as shown in figure 3.25)

The steps to assemble the AC grid terminals are listed as follows:

NOTE:

If chosing aluminum alloy cable, you must use copper-aluminum transfer 
terminal or anti-oxdant grease in order to avoid oxidation of the connection 
from direct contact between aluminum and copper. (Please select a copper 

 

aluminum transfer terminal based on your cable specification).

5) Insert the cable through the nut, sheath, and AC terminal cover. Connect the cable to 

the AC terminal block in turn, using a socket wrench.

Tighten the screws on the terminal block. 

The torque is 

 (as shown in Figure 3.28).
