Before ordering the PV module, make sure the connector type is compatible with 

the micro inverter.

WARNING 

DO NOT exceed the maximum 

number of micro inverters in 

an AC branch circuit as listed above. 

CAUTION 

Each AC branch circuit must be 

protected by a dedicated circuit 

breaker of 20A or less if using 12 AWG trunk 

cable.

 

AC Trunk Cable 

Depending  on the orientation of the installation, the AC trunk cable can be in 

portrait or landscape format.

Grounding Options 

Option 1: Integrated Grounding 

Integrated grounding eliminates the need to install Grounding Electrode 

Conductor (GEC) to each G640 by completely isolating the internal DC circuit 

from the AC circuit and ground. DC ground faults are detected on either the 

positive and/or negative conductors of the DC circuit by a Ground Fault Detection 

Interrupter Insulation Monitor (GFDI IM).    If the GFDI IM detects a ground fault 

has occurred to the PV input, the micro inverter will automatically disconnect all 

conductors and cease supplying output power. In accordance with NEC 690.35, 

installers can build ungrounded arrays where only an Equipment Grounding 

Conductor (EGC) is required to connect or bond non-current carrying metal 

equipment together. The EGC grounding process is completed via the grounding 

connection of G640 3-wire AC cable. The PV module will still need to be 

grounded according to the module manufacturer’s instructions. 

 

 

Option 2: GEC Grounding 

Although the G640 offers integrated grounding (UL 1741 certified), it also comes 

with a grounding terminal clip for any localities that do not accept integrated 

grounding.  The micro inverter manufacturer  will not be held responsible for 

improper installations that do not have local AHJ and/or Utility operational 

approval.   

As indicated in the diagram below, the array GEC can be installed either in series 

or in parallel.
