notes for table 4.1
1. Ampere ratings of the fuse (Column 4) is based on the NeC Ampacity (Column 3) = 1.25 times the rated
DC input current of the inverter (Column 2).
2. Cable sizing (Columns 7 and 8) is based on: (i) the Ampere rating of the fuse (Column 4) or 2% voltage
drop, whichever is thicker (ii) Ambient temperature of 30°C (iii) Wire insulation rated at 105°C (iv)
Cables routed in free air.

SSW-350-12A: The inverter side of the DC input cable has to be terminated with a customized, flat
rectangular Terminal Lug (10b, fig 3.1.2). The terminal lug fits in the rectangular slot in the DC input
terminal (7, 8 in fig 3.1.2) and is tightened using M4 Thumb Screw. for permanent installation, use the
terminal lugs (10b in fig 3.1.2) that come with the Cable Set provided with the unit (Please see Section
4.7). for this, cut the cable around 2” from the lug and splice it to the appropriate cable to be used for
permanent installation (Cable sizing as per Table 4.1). Use appropriate butt Splice Connector.
