Electrical Connections
Precautions
When exposed to sunlight, the PV arrays supply DC voltage to the SUN2000. Before connecting cables, ensure that the two DC switches on the SUN2000 are OFF. Otherwise, the high voltage of the SUN2000 may result in electric shocks.
- The site must be equipped with qualified fire fighting facilities, such as fire sand and carbon dioxide fire extinguishers.
- Wear personal protective equipment and use dedicated insulated tools to avoid electric shocks or short circuits.
- The equipment damage caused by incorrect cable connections is beyond the warranty scope.
- Only certified electrician can perform electrical terminations.
- Wear proper PPE at all time when terminating cables.
- To prevent poor cable connection due to overstress, it is recommended that the cables be bent and reserved, and then connected to the appropriate ports.
- Stay away from the equipment when preparing cables to prevent cable scraps from entering the equipment. Cable scraps may cause sparks and result in personal injury and equipment damage.
- When routing PV cables, the positive and negative PV string cables should be routed in different pipes to prevent cable damage and short circuits caused by improper operations during construction.
The cable colors shown in the electrical connection diagrams provided in this chapter are for reference only. Select cables in accordance with local cable specifications (green-and-yellow cables are only used for grounding).
