Excessive cables must be organized or fixed in an adequate way, e.g. attached to the mounting structure 

by using non-metallic cable ties. 

 

For applications requiring high operating voltage several eArc can be connected in series to form a string 

of eArc; the system voltage is then equal to the sum of the voltage of each eArc. 

 

For applications requiring high operating currents several strings of eArc can be connected in parallel; 

the system current is then equal to the sum of the current of each string of eArc. 

 

The maximum system voltage is 1000 volts DC. 

 

The maximum number of series connected eArc depends on system design, the type of inverter used 

and environmental conditions. 

 

Please make sure no more than two strings in parallel if eArc without any fuse or blocking diode to be 

connected according to the maximum series fuse rating of eArc and local electrical installation code.   

 

There is no limitation on the number of  eArc that can be connected in parallel (fuse for each string 

should be considered), the number of eArc is determined by system design parameters such as current 

or power output. 

 

To prevent the cables and the connectors from overheating, the cross section of the cables and the 

capacity of  the  connectors  must be  selected to suit  the  maximum  system  short  circuit  current. The 

recommended cable is PV wire (temperature rating is 90

) with a cross section of at least 2.5mm². 

 

Please refer to local regulations to determine the system wires size, type and temperature. 

 

eArc are supplied with connectors to be used for system electrical connections. Please refer to the local 

regulations and the datasheets for which connectors are allowed to be used. 

 

To ensure reliable electric connection and to prevent possible intrusion of humidity, connectors must 

be mated and locked together until a click can be heard. 

 

Long-term exposure to wet environments may cause connectors’ poor connectivity, resulting in current 

leakage  and  poor  conductivity.  SUNMAN  recommend  proper  connector/cable/wire  management  to 

prevent  moisture  intrusion.  Depending  on  the  amount  of  humidity,  SUNMAN recommends periodic 

inspections of the installation system to maintain optimal eArc’ performance.   

 

The DC current generated by photovoltaic systems can be converted into AC and fed into a public Grid. 

As  local  utilities’ policies  on  connecting  renewable  energy  systems  to  the  Grids  vary  from  region  to 

region.  Always  seek  the  advice  from  a  qualified  system  designer  or  integrator.  Building  permits, 

inspections and approvals by the local utility are to be expected.   

 

Disclaimer of liability 

 

As  the  adherence  to  this  manual  and  the  conditions  or  methods  of  installation,  operation,  use  and 

maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) products are beyond SUNMAN’s control, SUNMAN does not accept 

responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for any loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any 

way connected with such installation, operation, use or maintenance.
