Overcurrent Protection

AC overcurrent protection for the Utility Interconnect (Grid-tie) must be provided by the installer as part of the PV100S installation.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

In accordance with the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70 (Ninth Edition) the following branch-circuit overcurrent protection must be provided:

400A maximum for PV100S-208

200A maximum for PV100S-480

Conductor Termination

 

The PV100S has terminals and bus bars for making all wiring connections

 

required for the installation. All terminals used for making AC and DC

 

connections require the use of copper conductors with an insulation rating of

 

90 °C (or higher). For wire gauge, bolt size, and torque values for the AC

 

terminals, see Table 3-1. For wire gauge, bolt size, and torque values for the DC

 

terminals, see Table 3-2.

Transformer

The AC terminals in the Transformer Enclosure (T6-X1,T6-X2,and T6-X3)

Enclosure

require the use of crimp-on type ring terminals or compression lugs. The terminals

 

are one bolt per pole.

 

See Figure 3-14 on page 3–15 for the location of these terminals.

Main Inverter

The AC terminals in the Main Inverter Enclosure (TB4-A,TB4-B,and TB4-C)

Enclosure

have two openings per pole. These terminals do not require the use of crimp-on

 

type ring terminals or compression lugs.

 

See Figure 3-15 on page 3–16 for the location of these terminals.

AC Interface

The AC line terminals in the AC Interface Enclosure (S1-2T1,S1-4T2,and

Enclosure

S1-6T3)are one bolt per pole. These terminals require the use of crimp-on type

 

ring terminals or compression lugs.

 

See Figure 3-16 on page 3–16 for the location of these terminals.

 

The AC neutral terminal in the AC Interface Enclosure (TB6) has one bolt per

 

pole and requires the use of crimp-on type ring terminals or compression lugs.

 

See Figure 3-18 on page 3–18 for the location of this terminal.

DC Interface

The DC terminals in the DC Interface Enclosure (TB3-1,TB3-2,and TB3-3)

Enclosure

have two openings per pole. These terminals do not require the use of crimp-on

 

type ring terminals or compression lugs.

 

See Figure 3-19 on page 3–19 for the location of these terminals.

 

 

 

Important: Keep these cables together as much as possible, and ensure that all cables

 

pass through the same knockout and conduit fittings, thus allowing any inductive currents

 

to cancel.
