6.2 Chassis Grounding 

 
In this section, “Chassis Ground” is referred to as “ground” or “grounding” unless otherwise mentioned. 
The  PCS  cabinet  is  shipped  with  ungrounded  DC  power  terminals  within  the  inverter.  When  terminated  to  the 
batteries, the DC bus is configured for DC negative to ground. 
 
AC Grid Earthing System: The AC power grounding is achieved through the PE terminals of the AC grid connectors 
on the AC Filter Board, as shown in section 6.1.  The PCS is configured by default for a TN earthing system.   
 

Note: The field ground wire rating applies to the AC circuit only

.  The DC source loop is internal to the battery 

cabinet, and is rated accordingly. 
 
Lightning  Grounding:  The  inverter  has  built-in  lightning  protection.  In  order  for  the  lightning  protection  to  be 
effective, the grounding for lightning currents must be provided via low impedance path from the PCS PE terminal 
to the building Ground/Earthing point. 

7  Energy meter installation 

 

The energy management system’s solar self-consumption algorithm requires the connection of an energy meter at 
the customer’s main electrical panel.  The meter must be installed and configured according to the electrical service; 
either single phase or three phase.  Refer to the energy meter manufacturer’s installation manual supplied with the 
system for full installation details and safety information. 

 

Note:  Refer to Appendix C  for wiring diagrams specific to the manufacturer and model of the energy 
meter supplied with the system. 

 

The energy meter is supplied inside the PCS cabinet. It can be relocated within or adjacent to the main electrical 
panel to simplify the current and voltage wiring. Energy meters supplied with the home storage system are DIN rail 
mounted.  Use existing DIN rail space within the electrical panel, or add DIN rail as required. 

7.1 Electrical connections – voltage measurement / power supply 

 
The energy meter provided is line powered from the electrical service.  An in-line fuse,  rated  1 Amp / 250 VAC, is 
required on the voltage line input to the meter.  For three phase service, fuses are required on the V1, V2, and V3 
input terminals. The voltage inputs  can  be  connected anywhere on the load  side  of the  main  service disconnect 
breaker. For three phase systems, phase rotation is automatically configured by the meter.  Refer to Appendix C for 
wiring details. 

7.2 CT (current transformer) connections 

 
Note: Observe the current flow direction of the CT.  The direction of flow must be away from the utility 
meter.   For three phase systems, phase rotation is automatically configured by the meter. 
 

CAUTION! Handle CTs with care.  Always terminate the CTs at the meter inputs prior to clamping the 
core onto a hot wire. 
 

CT’s supplied with the meter are provided with standard 2.4 meter length wires.  They can be extended up to 15 
meters using 0.75 mm

2

 UTP cable. The CTs must be mounted on the primary electrical bus, between the main 

service breaker disconnect and the utility’s energy meter.  This is important to ensure all loads and generation are 
captured for optimum performance of the solar self consumption control algorithms.
