SOLAR DRIVE WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Figure 8: Wiring Inside the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive
Once the system is wired (per Figure 8), the power conductors wired to the DIN rail terminals
inside the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive should be tightened with torque values of:
– Solar PV and motor load conductors: 11 lb-in
– AC source conductors: 8 lb-in
The cable glands (cord grips) on the bottom of the enclosure should be used as follows:
– 1/2 inch cord grips should only be used with a cord that is 0.280-0.455 inch outer diameter.
– 3/4 inch cord grips should only be used with a cord that is 0.455-0.705 inch outer diameter.
When all conductors are wired into the controller, the cover (enclosure door) should be replaced
and tightened using the cover screws to 2-3 in-lb or equivalent.
Single phase motor loads should be wired as shown in Figure 8. Single phase 3-wire motors
should be wired so that the Common Lead is wired to Phase A, Starting Winding to AUX and Main
Winding to Phase C. Use DIP Switch 8 for proper single phase motor selection.
