DC Input Power

CAUTION

The inverter will operate from a DC source in the range of -40 V to -60 V. The maximum voltage without damage to the unit is -80 V. The source and cabling shall be capable of supplying 45 A continuously for a worst case operating voltage of -40 V. Under overload conditions (maximum 3 kW) the source requirement will be 90 A at -40 V

Input Connector and Cables

The XDI input connector is a 2-pole, double lug terminal block with separate double studs for the ground connection. A minimum of 6 AWG copper conductor (rated 85°C minimum) is the recommended wire gauge for all three input cables.

DC Input Wire Connection

Important: The following procedure should be used as a guide only. Ensure that the installation complies with the specific wiring rules applicable to your country or area of jurisdiction.

The DC input wiring should be routed through a 60 A circuit breaker for each inverter used. This provides additional disconnect options and adds to safety. A 2-pole breaker is recommended, but should a single pole be used, it should be mounted in the negative side of the input wiring.

To connect DC input wires from the breaker:

1.Ensure DC breaker is de-energized.

2.Strip 7/16 in. (11 mm) off the positive, negative and ground cables and install a standard two hole compression lug (hole diameter: 0.25 in. (6 mm)) on each cable.
