Planning

Conduit Penetration

The following illustrations show the recommended locations for electrical conduit entry into the PV100S enclosures. These drawings are to be used for system planning purposes, such that the shaded areas are representative of the maximum allowable area and location in which electrical conduit may penetrate the enclosures of the PV100S, see Figure 2-3 through Figure 2-8. Xantrex recommends a standard trade-size conduit knock-out set for cutting/punching the PV100S enclosures and panels for conduit entry.
