Enphase IQ Gateway Quick Install Guide
Plan the Power Connection
You must hard wire the IQ Gateway indoors or in an
NRTL certified, NEMA type 3R (or better)
enclosure
. Use an appropriately rated enclosure if hard-wiring indoors. Make sure that the site is
near the AC switchboard in which the IQ Gateway can be hardwired. Do not use a power board.
Use a Phase Coupler for a Three-Phase Site
If you are installing the IQ Gateway in a three-phase application, the power line communication signal
must be
“coupled” between the three phases to allow the Envoy to communicate with all the
microinverters in the system. Install a phase coupler on the load side of the over-current protection
device. See the Enphase Technical Brief on Phase Coupling for your region at
Consult Enphase support for compatible devices.
