Do not proceed with the electrical connection of the StarInverter until it has been properly mounted.
WARNING: Electrical connections must be done in accordance with local electrical codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70. Use 10 AWG, minimum 90° (194°F), copper wire for all PVP1800 and PVP2800 connections. Voltage drop as well as other considerations may dictate that larger wire sizes be used.
WARNING: Make sure the main 120/208/240 volt breaker in the main utility breaker box is switched OFF before wiring the StarInverter. This breaker should be switched ON only after all wiring has been completed as set forth in this manual.
WARNING: Follow the order listed below in wiring the StarInverter. Failure to do so may result in hazardous voltages or disconnection of contacts.
Terminal connections for the StarInverter are located inside the inverter on the circuit board at the bottom of the box. Solid wires up to 8 AWG (6mm²) and flexible wires up to 10 AWG (4mm²) are accepted by the AC terminals. Wires up to 6 AWG are accepted by the DC terminals.
CAUTION: The input and output circuits are isolated from the enclosure. System grounding, when required by Sections
Figure 5: Communications, AC and DC ports.
