Installation Manual

Compatible grid configurations:
The connection procedure will vary, depending on the grid configuration; the country data set may
have to be set. The following table provides an overview of the compatible grid configurations,
which conductors have to be connected to the inverter to comply with the grid configuration and, if
applicable, which country data set of the inverter has to be set. As standard, the inverter is meant
for connection to a utility grid with a 208V wye connection or a 240V split-phase system, and the
associated country data set UL1741/2010/120 is factory-set.

6.3.2 Connecting the Inverter to the Utility Grid
Requirements:
☐ All electrical installations must be carried out in accordance with the local standards and the
National Electrical Code
®
ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code
®
CSA C22.1.
☐ The AC and DC electric circuits are isolated from the enclosure. If required by section 250 of
the National Electrical Code
®
, ANSI/NFPA 70, the installer is responsible for grounding the
system.
☐ The connection requirements of the grid operator must be met.
☐ The grid voltage must be within the permissible range. The exact operating range of the
inverter is specified in the operating parameters.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect the AC circuit breaker and secure it against reconnection.
2. Ensure that the DC load-break switch of the
inverter is in the O position.
3. If the enclosure lid of the Connection Unit is mounted, remove it as follows:
