14. Connect the conductors L1, L2 and L3 to the

terminals 

L1

L2

 and 

L3

 according to the label.

Ensure that the assignment is correct.

15.

Danger of crushing when locking levers snap shut

The locking levers close by snapping down fast and hard.

• Press the locking levers of the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable down with your

thumb only. Do not grip the entire connecting terminal plate for the AC cable between
finger and thumb and keep fingers out from under the locking levers.

16. Ensure that the correct conductors are assigned to all the terminals.
17. Ensure that all locking levers of the connecting terminal plate are closed and all conductors

are tightly connected.

6.3.3

Connecting Additional Grounding

The inverter is equipped with a grounding terminal with two connection points on the DC side for
additional grounding (e.g. use of a grounding electrode).
The grounding terminal is yellow/green and identified as follows:

• Equipment grounding terminal: symbol 
• Grounding electrode conductor: labeling 

GEC

Cable requirements:

☐ The cable must be designed in accordance with the local installation requirements and for

temperatures of over +90°C (+194°F).

☐ Cable type: copper wire
☐ Conductor cross-section: 10 mm² to 35 mm² (8 AWG to 2 AWG)

Requirement:

☐ The conduits must be correctly connected to the inverter.
