4.3 DC Cable Connection 

 

 

DANGER

     

Electric shock! 
The PV array will generate lethal high voltage once exposed to sunlight. 
Before  performing  electrical  operations,  ensure  that  all  cables  are  uncharged. 
Do not turn on the AC circuit breaker before the inverter is electrically connected. 
Ensure that the DC switch of the inverter is set to OFF.

 

4.3.1 Connection Procedure     
Step 1:   Strip the insulation from each DC cable by 7mm. 
Step 2:   Assemble the cable ends with the crimping pliers 
Step 3:   Lead the cable through cable gland, and insert into the insulator until it snaps into place. 
 

  Gently pull the cable backward to ensure firm connection. Tighten the cable gland and 

the insulator (torque 2.5 N.m to 3 N.m). 

Step 4:   Check for polarity correctness. 
 

  The inverter will not function properly if any PV polarity is reversed.

Step 5:   Insert the completed DC connector into the corresponding DC connector input terminal of the inverter. Do not remove 

the  sealing  plug  on  the  input  end  of  the  vacant  DC  connector  on  the  inverter  to  ensure  reliable  protection.  The

NOTICE

 

If  the  DC  input  power  cable  is  reversely  connected  and  DC  switches  are  set  to  ON,  do  not 

immediately  turn  off  the  DC  switches  or  reconnect  the  positive  and  negative  connectors. 

Otherwise, the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any 

warranty. Wait until the solar irradiance declines at night and the PV string current reduces to 

below 0.5 A. Then, turn off the three DC switches, remove the positive and negative connectors, 

and rectify the connection of the DC input power cable.
