Connecting the AC Wiring

Connecting the AC Wiring

WARNING: Shock hazard

AC utility wiring to the GT Inverter unit is performed directly at the main breaker panel. This should be done only by a qualified installer or electrician.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Before wiring the GT Inverter, ensure the main breaker in the primary utility breaker box is switched OFF. Switch this breaker ON only after all wiring is completed as instructed in the procedures.

The GT Inverter can be connected to a single bi-directional meter, or to dual meters, where one meter indicates power used and the second meter indicates power sold (power supplied back to the utility). Consult the local utility to determine the proper components to install, and obtain any permits required prior to installation.

The GT Inverter must be connected to the utility with three wires—one phase, one neutral, and one protective earth (ground).

Making AC Connections Using Quick Connects

The GT Inverter is equipped with a quick connect for making AC connections. To make AC connections using the quick connect, you must first prepare the wiring between your utility panel and the GT Inverter.

You will need:

•Wire strippers

•Small (3 mm or less) slot-head screwdriver

Preparing the wires

The AC wiring from the utility panel must be terminated with a Binder Female cable connector (Binder Series 693 part number 99-4222-14-04) before being connected to the AC quick connect on the GT Inverter.

To prepare the AC wiring:

1.If necessary, strip 1 cm (3/8 inch) of insulation on the three wires from the utility panel.

2.Unscrew the female terminal from the casing of the female cable connector. See Figure 3-3.

3.Unscrew the other components of the female cable connector.

4.Run the wires through the pressing screw, pinch ring, seal, and shell of the female cable connector.
