Installation and operating instructions
Q

³ series

Depending on the application it could be expedient to join two or three inputs

together to one group. These configurations are summarised in the two

illustrations below.

In this application one generator terminal box must be set.

In order to protect the inverter in the event of a fault, the maximum total

current of the PV strings connected in parallel must be limited to the short
circuit current specified in the "Technical Data" chapter.
In addition the fuse protection in the generator terminal box must limit the

maximum possible return current in a defective string to a value lower than the
defined return current resistance of the PV module.
