Input Power Wiring – PV Only 

This manual should be read in conjunction with the ZENER 8000 instruction manual and all applicable standards and regulations. 
This equipment and other components that are part of the system must also be installed as per the manufacturer’s 
recommendations and any applicable standards and regulations.  

The following is an overview of power wiring for a Solar Only operation: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solar PV Input Wiring 

 

The ECODRIVE has two terminals to connect the DC supply from the Solar Array. These are labelled 
DC+ and DC-.

 

Always check and measure that wiring is correct and insulation tests satisfactorily 

completed before connecting to the ECODRIVE. Do not connect additional equipment of any kind 
(including additional ECODRIVEs) to a solar array that is used to power ECODRIVE. Severe equipment 
damage may result.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the ECODRIVE is to operate from an auxiliary AC power supply, blocking diode(s) must be fitted. Refer to page 15 for 

details. With standalone solar installations, blocking diodes are optional but recommended with multi-string installations 

to ensure maximum efficiency where partial shading of the PV modules may occur.   

DC Disconnect switch 

The disconnector in the DC supply circuit must 

be rated to switch the whole photovoltaic array 

current and rated to switch the array maximum 

open circuit DC voltage at the expected 

minimum temperature. A pole in each polarity is 

required. 

 

 

PV Protection 

Overcurrent protection for the PV array is 

required in additional to the  DC disconnect 

switch. The circuit protection must be rated 

and installed to comply with all local codes and 

regulations.  

 

PV Circuit Protection, isolation 
switches, lightning arrestors and other 
devices. 

See Page 17 

Blocking Diodes 

For PV only systems blocking diodes are optional 

but can provide benefit to solar only installations 

with multiple PV strings. See Page 15 for detail. 

 

Over current Protection 

Fuse or circuit breaker protection is required if 

DC input wiring is rated for less than 1.25x 

array Isc at STC. 

 

Fuse or 
c/breaker
