Group B fuses (a total of 6 in power cabinet)

Fuse

M10 nuts, spring washers and flat washers combination

(with fuses, tightening torque of 22 N • m)

DC positive cables

DC negative connection bars

M10 bolts, spring washers and flat washers combination

(tightening torque of 22 N • m)

DC negative cables

It shall be checked the material of the external terminal connecting

point, if the copper and aluminum materials are interconnected, a special

copper and aluminum connector is needed, don’t directly connected!

(Copper and aluminum connectors can be ordered from TBEA or quality

products may be purchased by the client).

DC side wiring shall ensure that the copper cable specifications of

each copper bar be consistent. Our company will not assume any

responsibility if the user fails to connect as required causing the DC circuit

breaker burned.

DC combiner box according to different rated output current, the inverter

may have 3 wiring schemes as shown in Table.
