Visual Inspection of Mechanical Connections

Visual Inspection of Mechanical Connections

To perform a visual inspection of the PV100S mechanical connections:

1.

Ensure that the AC and DC Disconnect Switches, as well as any utility

 

interconnect circuit breakers or main disconnect switches, are opened.

 

2.

Ensure all anchor bolts and any required seismic bracing is properly

 

tightened and in place.

 

3.

Remove the wiring access panels and front covers from the AC

 

Interface/Transformer assembly and Main Inverter Inductor Enclosure.

 

4.

Remove the latches and open the doors of the Main Inverter Enclosure,

 

the AC and DC Interface Enclosures, and Communication Enclosure

 

 

and inspect.

 

5.

Verify all wire conduit fittings and connections are properly tightened.

Visual Inspection of Electrical Connections

To perform a visual inspection of the PV100S electrical connections:

1.

Ensure that the AC and DC disconnect switches, as well as any utility

 

interconnect circuit breakers or main disconnect switches, are opened.

 

2.

Ensure all conductors and wiring connections interfacing with the

 

PV100S are tightened to the correct torque value.

 

 

For specific torque values, see Table 3-1, “AC Terminal Wire Gauge,

 

 

Bolt Size, and Torque Values” on page 3–12 and Table 3-2, “DC

 

 

Terminal Wire Gauge, Bolt Size, and Torque Values” on page 3–12.

 

3.

Verify AC power conductors terminated at TB4-A, TB4-B, TB4-C

 

within the Main Inverter Enclosure are terminated correctly and

 

 

properly sequenced.

 

4.

Verify the AC power conductors terminated at S1-2T1, S1-4T2, S1-6T3

 

within the AC Interface Enclosure are terminated correctly and properly

 

 

sequenced.

 

5.

Verify DC power conductors terminated at TB3-1, TB3-2, TB3-3 within

 

the DC Interface Enclosure are terminated correctly and properly

 

 

polarized.
