Split-phase A type of utility electrical system with two “hot” lines that typically carry 120 Vac with respect
to neutral and 240 Vac with respect to each other; common in North America
System display Remote interface device (such as the MATE3), used for monitoring, programming and
communicating with the inverter; also called “remote system display”
Three-phase, 3-phase A type of utility electrical system with three “hot” lines, each 120° out of phase;
each carries the nominal line voltage with respect to neutral; each carries voltage with
respect to each other equaling the line voltage multiplied by 1.732
Utility grid The electrical service and infrastructure supported by the electrical or utility company; also
called “mains”, “utility service”, or “grid”
