Note [1]: The value of Sp is valid only if the conductors of the PE cable and AC power cable use the same material. If the materials are different, ensure that the conductor of the PE cable with a proper cross-sectional area produces a conductance equivalent to that of the cable specified in the table. The specifications of the PE cable are subject to this table or calculated according to IEC 60364-5-54.
Note [2]: For some models, the outer diameter of a single-core cable ranges from 14 mm to 36 mm based on the label in the maintenance compartment.
4.2 Installing a PE Cable
NOTE

• It is recommended that the PE cable of the solar inverter be connected to a nearby ground point. Connect the PE points of all solar inverters in the same array to ensure equipotential connections to PE cables.
• To enhance the corrosion resistance of a ground terminal, you are advised to apply silica gel or paint on it after connecting the PE cable.

4.3 Opening the Maintenance Compartment Door
WARNING

• Do not open the panel of the solar inverter.
• Before opening the maintenance compartment door, turn off the downstream AC output switch and three DC switches at the bottom.
• Do not open the maintenance compartment door in rainy or snowy days. If you have to, take protective measures to prevent rain or snow from entering the maintenance compartment.
• Do not leave unused screws in the maintenance compartment.

1. Loosen the screws on the maintenance compartment door.
2. Open the maintenance compartment door and adjust the support bar.
3. Remove the accessories and set them aside.

4.4 Removing the Rubber Rings from the Crimping Module
Use scissors to cut off the joints of the rubber rings to remove them. All rubber rings are removed in the same way.
NOTICE
Remove the corresponding rubber rings strictly according to the cable diameter range, and ensure that the crimping module is not damaged. Otherwise, the protection level of the solar inverter will be affected. 4.5 (Optional) Installing the Tracking System Power Cable
NOTICE

• A switch-disconnector-fuse or fuse-switch-disconnector with a voltage of no less than 500 V, current of 16 A, and protection type of gG needs to be installed between the SUN2000 and the tracker controller for protection.

• The tracking system should be equipped with an overcurrent protective device or component.
  The length of the cable between the power cable terminal and the overcurrent protection device or component must be less than or equal to 2.5 m.

• The power supply of the tracking system should be an AC three-phase power grid.

• Keep inflammable materials away from the power cable.

• The power cable must be protected with a conduit to prevent short circuits caused by insulation layer damage.

4.6 Installing the AC Output Power Cable
NOTICE

• The cable outer diameter can be measured using the ruler sticker in the maintenance compartment.
• Ensure that the AC output power cable is secured. Failure to do so may cause the solar inverter to malfunction or damage to its terminal block by issues such as overheating.
• Sufficient slack should be provided in the PE cable to ensure that the last cable bearing the force is the PE cable when the AC output power cable bears pulling force due to force majeure.
• If a screw on the maintenance compartment door is lost, obtain the spare screw from the fitting bag tied at the bottom of the maintenance compartment.

Multi-core Connection Method Single-core Connection Method
NOTE
The 32–36 mm cable is supported only by some models. Refer to the corresponding label to get the supported size. 4.7 Installing DC Input Power Cables
Selecting DC Input Terminals
WARNING
Before connecting the PV module output to the inverter, test the insulation resistance between the PV– cables and the ground to ensure that the PV module output is properly insulated to the ground. Use an insulation resistance tester to add 1500 V voltage between the PV– cables and the ground, and check the resistance. Ensure that the insulation resistance of all PV– cables is greater than or equal to 1 MΩ. If the value is less than 1 MΩ, troubleshoot the cable insulation.
When the DC inputs are not fully configured, the DC input terminals must meet the following requirements:

1. Evenly distribute the DC input power cables on the DC input terminals controlled by the three DC switches. DC SWITCH 1 is preferred.
2. The even-numbered PV terminals are preferred to maximize the connections of MPPTs.
3. If the number of PV inputs is 11 to 19, connect cables to the odd-numbered PV terminals from PV1 and PV19, and avoid connections to adjacent MPPTs if possible.

If the number of PV inputs is 11 to 19, the DC input terminals are selected as follows.

Installing a DC Input Power Cable
NOTICE

1. Use the positive and negative Amphenol Helios H4 metal contacts and DC connectors supplied with the solar inverter. Using incompatible positive and negative metal contacts and DC connectors may result in serious consequences. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty.
2. Before connecting the DC input power cables, label the cable polarities to ensure correct cable connections. Otherwise, the solar inverter may be damaged.
3. Measure the voltage at the DC input end using a multimeter set to the DC position. If the voltage is a negative value, the DC input polarity is incorrect. Correct the polarity. If the voltage is greater than 1100 V, too many PV modules are configured to the same string. Remove some PV modules.
4. If the DC input power cable is reversely connected and the DC switches are set to ON, do not perform any operation on the switches or the positive and negative connectors. Otherwise, the device may be damaged. The caused device damage is not covered under any warranty. Wait until the solar irradiance weakens at night and the PV string current decreases below 0.5 A. Set the three DC switches to OFF, and correct the connection of positive and negative connectors.
5. For models of the crimping tool and removal wrench, use the recommended model or contact your dealer.
6. Connect the PV string connector to the inverter connector, and then pull back the PV string connector along the axial direction to check whether the connectors are securely connected.
7. The connector must be securely connected. Damages caused by improper connection are not covered under the warranty.
