Installation and Operation Manual for Inverter RPI M50A_12s V1 EU EN 2017-03-09

6 Installation

6.6 Connecting to the grid (AC)

The inverter can be connected to 3-phase grids

without neutral conductors (3P3W, 3

PE) and 3-phase grids with neutral conductors

(3P4W, 3 N + PE).

► If makes no difference which individual

wire of the AC cable is connected to which

contact.

► If the inverter is connected to a grid without

a neutral conductor, the AC connection must

be changed via the display to 3P3W after

commissioning, see “8.4.9 AC connection”,

page 102.
