AC Wiring Connections

 

 

The AC Bus-Bars (for neutral and hot connections) have dual sizes. The smaller nine holes accept

 

#6 to 14 AWG wire and the larger two holes accept #1/0 to 14 AWG. Torque small screws to 30 

in-lbs (3.4 NM) and the large screws to 45 in-lbs (5.1 NM).

 

 

DC Wiring Connections

 

 

The DC bus-bars (for battery positive/negative and PV) have dual sizes. The smaller nine holes 

accept #6 to 14 AWG wire and the larger two holes accept #1/0 to 14 AWG. Torque small screws 

to 30 in-lbs (3.4 NM) and large screws to 45 in-lbs (5.1 NM).

 

 

The  DC  shunt  uses  3/8”  bolts  and  requires  cables  having  ring  terminal  lugs  with  a  3/8”  hole. 

Torque these bolts between 10 to 12 foot-pounds.

 

 

The  175A  and  250A  DC  Disconnect  (Main  Battery  Shut-Off)  uses  a  3/8-16  stud  and  requires 

cables  having  ring terminals  with  a  3/8”  hole.  The  125A  DC  Disconnect  has  1/4-20  studs  and 

requires cables with a 1/4” hole. Torque the 175 A and 250 A breakers to 220 in-lbs (24.9 NM) 

and torque 125 amp breakers to 30 in-lbs (3.4 NM).

 

 

Ground Connections

 

 

The ground bar has nine holes and accepts #6 to 14 AWG wires. Torque small ground screws to

 

20 in-lbs (2.3 NM) and the large ground screws to 45 in-lbs (5.1 NM).
