 Electrical connections 

General information in this chapter

 

This  chapter  describes  the  electrical  connections  of  the  3K-6K  TLM-L  inverter.  Carefully  read  this  section 
before connecting the cables. 

NOTE:

 

Before making any electrical connections, ensure that the DC circuit breaker is switched off.  Please note that 
the capacitors in the inverter may remain electrically charged after the DC circuit breaker has been switched 

off. Therefore, it is necessary to wait at least 5 minutes to allow the capacitor to discharge completely. 
 

 

The inverter must be installed and serviced by professional technicians or electricians.  

Attention

 

 

 

The PV modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, which can pose a risk 
of electric shock.  Before connecting the DC input power cord, be sure to disconnect 

the strings via the appropriate circuit breakers.
