Making AC Connections for GT5.0-AU Model
AC wiring to the GT5.0-AU model is connected directly to the AC terminal block,
and then secured with the supplied cable gland. The GT Inverter must be
connected to the utility with three wires—two lines (one Active phase and one
neutral phase) and one protective earth (ground). The internal wiring block will
accept wires sizes 6 mm
2
- 16 mm
2
. The supplied gland will accept cables with an
outside diameter of 11-17 mm. If your cable has an outside diameter out of this
range (or if you wish to use an alternate entry point), remove the supplied gland
and replace it with a suitably-sized one. If you use an alternate entry port you must
remove the existing gland assembly and plug the hole with an approved blanking
plate.
You will need:
•
Wire strippers
•
Slot-head screwdriver
To connect the AC wiring:
1.
Strip 10 mm of insulation from each of the wires from the utility panel.
2. Remove the inverter front panel. It is held in place by four screws—two along
the bottom and two on the front.
The wiring compartment is behind the front panel.
3. Loosen, but do not remove, the AC cable gland cap nut.
4. Pass the three wires from the utility panel through the cable gland and into the
wiring compartment.
