2.2 Wiring specifications and circuit breaker selection
Wiring and installation must comply with national and local electrical codes.
Recommended PV array wiring specifications and circuit breaker selection: Since the output current of the PV array is affected by the type, connection method and illumination angle of the PV module, the minimum wire diameter of the PV array is calculated according to its short-circuit current; refer to the short-circuit current value in the PV module specification (the short- circuit current is constant when the PV modules are connected in series; the short-circuit current is the sum of the short-circuit currents of all PV modules connected in parallel); the short-circuit current of the PV array shall not exceed the maximum input current.

  • Refer to the table below for PV input wire diameter and switch:
    Models| Recommended PV wiring diameter| Maximum PV input current| Recommended circuit breaker type
    ---|---|---|---
    SPH5048P| 6mm2/10AWG| 22A| 2P—25A

Note: The voltage in series shall not exceed the maximum PV input open circuit voltage.

  • Refer to the table below for recommended AC input wire diameter and switch:
    Models| Recommended AC input wiring diameter| Maximum bypass input current| Recommended circuit breaker type
    ---|---|---|---
    SPH5048P| 10mm2/7AWG| 63A| 2P—63A

Note: There is already an appropriate circuit breaker at the Mains input wiring terminal, so it is not necessary to add one more.

  • Recommended battery input wire diameter and switch selection
    Models| Recommended battery wiring diameter| Rated battery discharge| Maximum charge current| Recommended circuit breaker type
    ---|---|---|---|---
    SPH5048P| 30mm2/7AWG| 125A| 100A| 2P—200A
  • Recommended AC output wiring specifications and circuit breaker selection
    Models| Recommended AC output wiring diameter| Rated inverter AC output current| Maximum bypass output current| Recommended circuit breaker type
    ---|---|---|---|---
    SPH5048P| 10mm2/7AWG| 42A| 63A| 2P—63A

Note: The wiring diameter is for reference only. If the distance between the PV array and the all-in-one solar charge inverter or the distance between the all-in-one solar charge inverter and the battery is relatively long, using a thicker wire can reduce the voltage drop to improve system performance.
Note: The above are only recommended wiring diameter and circuit breaker. Please select the appropriate wiring diameter and circuit breaker according to actual situations.

Troubleshooting

In order to maintain the best long-term performance, it is recommended to conduct following checks twice a year.

  1. Make sure that the airflow around the unit is not blocked and remove any dirt or debris from the heat sink.
  2.  Check that all exposed wires are damaged by exposure to sunlight, friction with other objects around them, dryness, bite by insects or rodents, etc., and the wires shall be repaired or replaced if necessary.
  3. Verify for the consistency of indication and display with the operation of the device. Please pay attention to the display of any faults or errors, and take corrective actions if necessary.
  4. Check all wiring terminals for corrosion, insulation damage, signs of high temperature or burning/discoloration, and tighten the screws.
  5. Check for dirt, nesting insects and corrosion, and clean up as required.
  6. If the arrester has failed, replace in time to prevent lightning damage to the unit or even other equipment of the user.

Warning: Danger of electric shock! When doing the above operations, make sure that all power supplies of the all-in-one machine have been disconnected, and all capacitors have been discharged, and then check or operate accordingly!

  • The company does not assume any liability for damage caused by:
    ① Improper use or use in improper site.
    ② Open circuit voltage of the PV module exceeds the maximum allowable voltage rated.
    ③ Temperature in the operating environment exceeds the limited operating temperature range.
