Wire Gauge and Torque Requirements
Table 3-1 provides acceptable wire gauges, bolt sizes, and torque values for AC
terminal connections.
Table 3-2 provides acceptable wire gauges, bolt sizes, and torque values to be
connected to the PV100S DC terminal connections.
Grounding
System Grounding
Install a copper ground rod within three feet of the PV100S enclosures per the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70. The single-point ground for the system is
to be made at the AC ground bar (TB2) in the AC Interface Enclosure.
