terminal or compression lug. The terminals can accommodate up to two conductors per phase. See the PV225S 225 kW Grid-tied Photovoltaic Inverter Planning and Installation Manual for the location of these terminals.

5.The AC power conductor wiring interfacing with the AC terminals in the Main Inverter Enclosure are located at TB5, TB6, and TB7. These terminals are to be tightened to a torque value of 375 in-lb (42.4 Nm). The terminals will accept a conductor size of 350 kcmil and can accommodate up to six conductors per phase. See Figure 5-1 on page 5–4 for the location of these terminals.

6.The AC power conductor wiring interfacing with the AC terminals in the AC Interface Enclosure are located at S1-2T1, S1-4T2, and S1-6T3. These terminals should be tightened to a torque value of 310 in-lb (35.0 Nm). See Figure 5-2 on page 5–4 for the location of these terminals. Also see the cautionary note in the PV225S 225 kW Grid-tied Photovoltaic Inverter Planning and Installation Manual regarding hardware length.

7.The AC neutral conductor from the utility is terminated in the AC Interface Enclosure at the TB11 terminal. This terminal requires the use of a crimp-on type ring terminal or compression-type lug and should be tightened to a torque value of 228 in-lb (25.7 Nm). See Figure 5-2 on page 5–4 for the location of these terminals.

8.The DC power conductor wiring interfacing with the DC terminals at S2-6, K2-6T3, and TB4 are to be tightened to a torque value of 600 in-lbs

(67.8 Nm). These terminals will accept a conductor size of 600 kcmil, and can accommodate up to four conductors per pole at S2-6 and K2-6T3 and up to two conductors at TB4. Keep these cables together as much as possible and ensure that both cables pass through the same knockout and conduit fittings, thus allowing any inductive currents to cancel. See Figure 5-3 on page 5–5 for the location of these terminals.

9.This product is intended to be installed as part of a permanently grounded electrical system per the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70. A copper ground rod must be installed within three feet of the PV225S enclosure. This is the single point earth ground for the inverter system. The single point ground for the system is to be made at the AC ground bus bar (TB12) in the AC Interface Enclosure. This terminal requires the use of a crimp-on type ring terminal or compression-type lug and should be tightened to a torque value of 420 in-lb (47.5 Nm).

10.The equipment grounds on the PV225S is marked with this symbol:

11.AC overcurrent protection for the utility interconnect (Grid-tie) must be provided by the installers as part of the PV225S installation.

CAUTION: Fire Hazard

In accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, connect only to a circuit provided with 400 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection for the PV225S.
