Clenergy SPH Installation and Operation Manual 

 

 
5.

 

For SPH50 & SPH60, connect AC wires as follows: 

 

Disassemble the AC output female socket. 

 

Connect AC wires to connection socket as indicated: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

Strip the wire sheath and conductor insulators the minimum amount 
necessary to insert the wires into the connection pins. 

 

Insert Line wire to   

, Neutral wire to   

  and Ground wire to pin        .                                                                                     

 

Fully tighten the wire clamp screws in each connection pin. 

 

Assemble the socket again. Insert the whole socket into the inverter. 

 

Twist the coupling ring to receptacle on inverter. Make sure it is perfectly 
matched and tightly fastened. 

Do not connect the AC power at this time 

 

Step 3: Connect to the PV array (DC) 

1.

 

Make sure the maximum open circuit voltage (V

oc

) of each PV string is less 

than  550V  UNDER  ANY  CONDITION  for  SPH15,  SPH20  &  SPH40  and  600V 
for SPH50 & SPH60.   

2.

 

Ensure that  the DC supply wires to  the inverter are disconnected from  the 
PV  strings.  We  recommend  that  a  disconnect  switch  or  optional  Solar 
Concentrator with disconnect is fitted between the PV array and the inverter. 
When  making  connections  to  the  PV  array  outputs,  the  PV  panels  must  be 
completely  covered  with  shade  material  and  the  outputs  must  be  shorted 
together  and  to  earth  ground.  Always  follow  local  and  national  codes  and 
regulations for installation work on PV panels. 

3.

 

Verify with a DC voltmeter that there is no voltage between the positive and 

Female insert 

with coupling ring 

Pinch ring
