event of a malfunction (e.g. an inverter defect). The fuses must be configured according to the maximum series fuse
rating, which is quoted in the datasheets pertaining to the respective modules.
Cables and connectors
A PV module has a pair of male and female waterproof connectors.
Connect the output cable to the other equipment in the system correctly.
Connect the required number of PV modules to meet the voltage specification of other equipment used in the
PV system.
Wire the output cable connectors so they do not exert any force or pressure on the PV module’s junction box.
Attach the cable to the mounting frame using approved fasteners. The connectors should be placed behind the
mounting frame so that the connectors can’t be directly exposed to sunlight, wind and rain.
To extend the cable, use certified solar cables and connectors that can withstand outdoor use for long
periods. Select the appropriate cable size according to its length to avoid voltage drop.
Connectors of different brands and models cannot be mated.
ATTENTION
: WINAICO connectors’ protection level is IP68. They cannot be under water for a long time.
Sunlight exposure and immersion in water of the connectors should be avoided. Do not allow installed
PV connectors and cables to be in contact with the roof surface or the ground.
ATTENTION
: Faulty connections can result in arcs and electrical shock. Check that all electrical
connections are securely fastened. Make sure that all locking connectors are fully engaged and locked.
ATTENTION:
To prevent electric shocks, please turn off the power when installing PV connectors. Do not pull apart
the PV connector under load. Turn off the DC/AC inverter or turn on DC circuit breaker to disconnect PV
connectors from load. Then insert and extract under voltage is permitted.
ATTENTION:
The cable must not be bent or crushed at the joints to connectors and junction box. A minimum bending
radius R≥5×cable diameter must be maintained. The cable must be routed in a way that tensile
stress on the conductor or connection is prevented.
