– Specs for Field Wiring to the DCR-1500 Re-Combiner 

 

 

STEP 1:  Disconnect all Equipment Before Wiring to the Re-Combiner 

BEFORE removing the Re-

Combiner’s covers: 

  Open all five DC switches on the Re-Combiner, and  

  Open the DC switch between the Dynapower DC/DC Converter and the 

Battery Subsystem, to disconnect the batteries from the system. 

 

 

STEP 2:  De-Energize the PV Conductors 

 

 

PV arrays can create hazardous DC voltages. Do not attempt to connect 
the PV circuits to the Re-Combiner until all PV conductors are confirmed 
to be de-energized. 

 

1.  Use a multi-meter to check for DC voltage and confirm that the PV Output Circuit 

conductors, coming from the CR1500-26-20S-400 PV Source Circuit Combiners in 

the array field, are de-energized.  

2.  If DC voltage is present, locate the PV Source Circuit Combiners and open all DC 

disconnect switches, then re-measure.  

3.  DO NOT PROCEED until the conductors are confirmed to be de-energized.
