2.4 Wires connection
2.4 AC auxiliary power wires connection
.1
Preparation:
(1) Ensure the grid voltage is 230VAC or 240VAC, frequency
is 50/60Hz single phase.
(2) Connection mode:
a) Type I:Connect the AC terminal of SP-CT to the AC breaker
of power distribution cabinet.
b) Type II:Press the AC terminal (British standard) of SP-CT
on the nearby socket. Because of installation outside,
the socket should be water-proof.
Caution:Ensure the utility phase of SP-CT position is same
with stored-energy machine and PV inverter phase position.
Type I
Typ II
Note: Type II installation is mainly suitable for British
standard area.
