CAUTIONS and WARNINGS 

 

Before installing or using the AC Modules, read all instructions, cautions, and warnings in this 
Manual and on the equipment, the PV array, and in this Installation Guide. 

 

 

 

WARNING!

  Hazardous voltages are present inside AC Modules and within 

circuits that connect to the AC Modules. Contact with high voltage may cause 
death or serious injury. To prevent electrical shock, always disconnect all 
power to unit(s) prior to servicing, and

 NEVER

 operate this equipment with 

the covers removed. 
 

 

 

CAUTION!

  Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove inverter cover.  No 

installer, user or operator serviceable parts exist inside.  Refer all service to a 
factory service technician or qualified service personnel. 

 

 
 
 
 

 

 

NOTE!

  AC Modules are bonded to protective earth (safety ground) through 

the utility ground.  No other ground connection is needed.  The utility ground 
connection must be established  prior to operating the units.  The ground wire 
at the service entry should be #14 AWG copper or larger, or sized as 
appropriate within your local jurisdiction electrical code.  If uncertain, check 
with your local code enforcement office for their requirements.  Input and 
output circuits are isolated from the enclosure, and system grounding, when 
required by the National Electric Code Sections 690.41, 690.42, and 690.43, 
are the responsibility of the installer.  AC output neutral is not bonded to 
ground within the AC Module. 
 

 

 

NOTE!

  For domestic US installations, all electrical work must be done in 

compliance with local electrical codes and the NFPA 70 National Electrical 
Code. 

 

 

NOTE!

  Contact your electric utility company before connecting AC Modules 

to the commercial electrical grid. Connections to the utility grid must be made 
only by qualified personnel. 
 

 

 

NOTE!

  AC Modules are provided with fixed trip limits and shall not be 

aggregated above 30 kW on a single Point of Common Connection. 

 

 

NOTE!

  Do not connect AC Modules into any AC circuit containing 

ground-fault protective devices.  Ground-fault protection devices are not 
designed for back-fed power and may be damaged.
