WARNINGS
1. Electrical shock hazard. Do not attempt to remove, maintain, or install this equipment with
power applied. Personnel that attempt to work on this equipment with the power applied may
subject themselves or others to electrical shock that may cause serious injury or death.
2. The use of this equipment by unauthorized or untrained personnel should not be attempted.
Personnel that work on this equipment without the proper training may subject themselves or
others to electrical shock that may cause serious injury or death.
3. Do not attempt to work on this equipment if it is, or has been, exposed to a high moisture
condition. It is recommended the equipment be returned to ABB to be properly tested. Working
on this equipment during a high moisture condition subjects the user to electrical shock that
may cause serious injury or death.
4. Use of an attachment other than one approved by ABB will void any and all warranties, implied or
other, and will increase risk of fire, or may possibly cause electrical shock, injury, or death to
personnel.
5. Do not operate this equipment if it has been dropped or otherwise damaged. Trying to operate
this equipment if it has been damaged subjects yourself or others to electrical shock that may
cause serious injury or death.
6. Before you proceed, ensure the input source is not live and the input circuit breaker(s)/fuse(s)
has been tripped or removed. If these procedures have not been followed and the input/output
power is live, serious personnel injury or death may occur.
7. A rack/shelf may contain several operating plants. If there is another plant in the general area
you want to install this plant, be cautious of any exposed connectors or wires and, with
permission, remove power to the other plants. Failure to take the necessary safety precautions
subjects the installer or maintenance personnel to severe electrical shock that may cause serious
injury or death.
8. This equipment may connect to lead-acid batteries. Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the state of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after touching batteries.

CAUTIONS
1. Follow proper grounding instructions.
2. If connecting batteries, remove the battery-box-fuse or trip the circuit breaker. Check batteries
and connections for proper polarity and power before connecting the batteries to the plant.
3. To remove the circuit breakers or fuses, the DC and/or AC input to the plant will need to be
disconnected, thereby disabling the plant output to the load(s). Take the necessary precautions
and inform the plant engineer that the plant output power to the loads will be disabled.
4. Before performing any maintenance, ensure AC or DC power is not applied to the plant.
5. Fuse holders, fuses, and circuit breakers are not to be loaded to more than 80 percent of their
ampere rating.

1: Installer Information
1.1 General
This equipment provides output distribution of nominal 120 VAC, 60 Amps maximum from
each 827E inverter shelves. A maximum of four inverter shelves per AC Distribution Shelf is
allowed. AC Distribution is accomplished through twelve (23”) or eight (19”) distribution
breakers per shelf. The system can be equipped with or without AC distribution outlets. The
AC Distribution Shelf is designed to be bottom or side fed from the inverter shelves, allowing
easy connection points to the bus bars in the AC Distribution Shelf.
1.2 Equipment Included in Shipment
The AC distribution shelf is completely self-contained and comes equipped with the hardware
needed to connect the distribution of the inverter plant to the internal bus bars located in the
AC Distribution Shelf, and for connection of the distribution points to the loads. The following
equipment is available as standard or optional equipment:
Note: The 23” shelf is rated to 200 Amps with each distribution side (left or right, six CB’s
each) rated to a maximum of 100 Amps. The 19” shelf is rated to 100 Amps maximum output.
Each circuit breaker position is rated to a maximum of 70 Amps. Size breakers and loads
accordingly.

2: Mechanical Installation
2.1 General
The following instructions are provided to properly install the system. Provided are general
mechanical connections. For information relevant to electrical connections, power
requirements, etc., refer to Chapter 3.
NOTE: The AC distribution panel shown is the 23” conduit version (6180498P )
2.2 Installation
Install the AC Distribution Shelf as follows:
A. Remove the rear panel of the AC Distribution Shelf. Open the front door of the AC
Distribution Shelf.
B. Remove the rear panel of the inverter shelf. Refer to Inverter manual 4380419PD.
Warning: Prior to performing the following step, ensure the DC input power to the Inverter
system is turned off, opened, or disconnected. This will eliminate the AC output of the
Inverter shelf to help avoid potential injury.
C. It is recommended that the AC Distribution Shelf be positioned above the inverter shelf(s).
Secure the AC Distribution Shelf to the frame with four mounting screws, locating a
mounting screw at each corner of the AC Distribution Shelf. Route the cable that exits the
access port on the Inverter Shelf to the AC Distribution Shelf through the wire-way
attached to the top of the frame. Refer to Figure 2-3.
D. Refer to Electrical Installation, Chapter 3.
E. After the electrical connections have been made, re-install the rear covers on the Inverter
Shelf and the AC Distribution Shelf. Close the front cover on the AC Distribution Shelf.
Install the side cover, top cover, and the bottom cover to the wire-way. Installation is
complete.

1/2 64.0 / 768.0
Note: 827E Inverter connections are provided in manual 4380419PD.
3.2 120 VAC to AC Distribution Shelf from Each Inverter Shelf
Connect the cables that exit the AC terminal block (TB2) on the rear of the Inverter shelf to the
AC Distribution Shelf. The three cables are identified as Line, Neutral, and Ground. Secure the
cables to the compression lugs on the AC terminal block (cable provided with system).
Connect the cables to the Inverter Shelf distribution terminal block as follows:
Note: All AC wiring must be in conduit per the National Electric Standards. Conduit knockouts
are on the rear (1/2" or 3/4" for loads) of the unit. There is a wire-way on the right (looking
from the rear) for wiring from the inverter shelf to the AC distribution panel.
1. The cable identified as Ground (green) from each shelf must be connected to the GND
(Ground) bus on the distribution shelf.
2. The cable identified as Neutral (white) from each shelf must be connected to the NEUT.
(Neutral) bus on the distribution shelf. Refer to Figure 3-3.
3. The cable identified as Line (black) from each shelf must be connected to the Line bus on
the distribution shelf.
Up to four 827E Inverter Shelf can be connected to the AC distribution shelf to provide power
output. See figure 3-2.
