GROUNDING

 

 

Grounding by cable 

 

The  grounding  bolts  must  be  made  of  stainless  steel  and  be  used  in  the  specified 
grounding  holes.  First,  make  the  M3.  5  stainless  steel  bolt  pass  through  the  spring 
washer, flat washer, cup washer (copper conductor with a diameter of 2.1  mm) and 
star  washer,  and  then  insert  through  the  grounding  hole,  flat  washer  and  spring 
washer  on  the  frame.  Finally,  tighten  with  a  M3.5  nut.  Caution:  The  upper  limited 
temperature of the conductor is 85

. As for the installation, refer to Figure 10. 

 

Grounding by lugs 

 

All  the  module  frames  and  mounting  structures  shall  be  grounded  according  to 
regional and national electricity regulations. Use recommended hardware to connect 
grounding cables and fasten to the Module frames. 

 

While  using  the  metal  structure,  make  sure  the  surface  of  the  system  have  been 
electroplated to keep a good conducting circuit. 

 

Use  suitable  grounding  conductors  to  connect  the  Module  frame  to  the  mounting 
structure. This can achieve proper grounding effects. 

 

The grounding conductor must be connected to ground via an appropriate grounding 
electrode.  It  is  recommended  to  use  lugs  to  connect  the  grounding  cables.  I  f  it  is 
only  mechanically  connected  to  a  grounded  module  without  bolts  and  nuts,  the 
mounting system should be grounded as well. 

 

First, peel the grounding cable to a proper length without damage to the metal core. 
Then insert the peeled cable into the lug, tighten the screw. As shown in Figure 11, 
connect  the  lug  to  the  aluminum  frame  with  stainless  steel  bolts  and  connection 
components. The recommended tightening torque for M3 bolts is 2.3N•m.
