5.4 CONNECTION OVERVIEW
5.4.1 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Before connecting wiring, please remove the bottom cover by removing the 7 screws as shown below.
5.5 PV CONNECTION
5.5.1 CONNECTING PV TO THE INVERTER
Install a separate DC circuit breaker/isolator between the inverter and PV module(s). The
recommended DC breaker is a 4-pole 600V/20A, which is the minimum sized isolator switch to house
both positives and both negatives if using two independent strings. If only using 1 string, a 2 pole
600V/20A isolator/breaker is recommended. The recommended cable size for the PV connection(s) is
10 AWG (4mm2) torqued to 10.6 in-lbs. (1.2 Nm).
Consult with the installer to ensure that appropriate cable sizing is used due to various factors such as
voltage drop and Voc.
PV Cable Size Min. PV Disconnect/Isolator Spec Torque Specs
10 AWG – 6 AWG (Max)
(6mm2- 16mm2) 600V/20A 10.6 in-lbs. (1.2 Nm)

12
Verify the lowest ambient temperature of the installation location. The rated Voc on the solar module
nameplate is obtained at STC (Standard Testing Conditions = 77°F/25°C). As the ambient temperature
drops, the solar module Voc increases. Please ensure the maximum solar string voltage, corrected at
the lowest temperature, does not exceed the inverter’s maximum input voltage of 480VDC.
PV Input Data Description Parameter

Maximum MPPT Amperage The MPPT can accept up to this amperage
(clipping will occur past this value)
25A
Maximum Utilized Solar Power Wattage the unit can utilize from array

8kW
5.5.2 STRING SIZING
When solar modules are put in a series string, the voltage multiplies times the number of
modules and the amperage stays the same as each module.
For example: Using solar modules that have a 40VDC Voc (@77ºF) with a Max Power
amperage of 10 Amps (Imp) - 10 modules wired in a series string would have a Voc of 400 VDC
(@77ºF) and a string amperage of 10 Amps. When the temperature lowers, the voltage can
rise above the maximum allowed by the inverter and damage will result.
To determine how many modules per string; first verify the lowest possible ambient temperature of
the installation location. Next, find the rated Voc, Vmp, Isc and Imp of the solar module at 77ºF and the
temperature coecients for voltage and power. Then, calculate highest possible Voc for the entire
string when the ambient temperature falls to the lowest possible ambient temperature upon sunrise.
To make this calculation, use a string calculator or consult a solar designer or solar electrician.
Finally, calculate the maximum current of the string (Isc) so as not to exceed the inverter’s
MPPT circuit ratings of 25A (see note at end of section). Double check if the calculated Vmp
range is within the 120-385 VDC optimal MPPT circuit operating range. It is recommended to
consult a solar designer for assistance.
NOTE:
Each MPPT is rated for 4kW of solar input which leads to 8kW PV input in total.
Size the PV strings accordingly for maximum gain.
CAUTION!
DANGER:
Damage WILL occur if the string voltage exceeds the inverter’s maximum
input voltage of 480VDC!
REMINDER

13
FOR ALL MODULES, THE CALCULATIONS NEED TO BE PERFORMED OR VERIFIED BY USING A
STRING CALCULATOR OR CONSULTING A PROFESSIONAL.
The inverter has two MPPT PV charging circuits. MPPT #1 and #2 will utilize up to 17 amps, which
means two strings can be paralleled for any modules having less than 8.5A (Imp) rating.
When sizing strings for each MPPT, they MUST be the same model, brand and # per string
(series and parallel).
All panels on a series/parallel string should face the same orientation and be exposed to
roughly the same shading across the string. Consideration should be placed on string location
and wiring order on the racking to minimize shading eects. One shaded module will
disproportionately reduce the output of the entire string. This can be mitigated by avoiding
linear strings in favor of rectangular strings, or by the use of string optimizers.
5.5.3 PV WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Before installing PV wiring into the inverter, please ensure all breakers and disconnects are
open (o) and confirm the PV strings are not energized by using a multimeter to ensure there is no DC
voltage on the lines. Once that has been verified, please proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Strip o 1/4 - 5/16 in. (6 – 8mm) insulation from the PV strings’ positive and negative
conductors.
Step 3: Insert the conduit fitting into the openings for the PV connections and tighten from the inside
using the counter nut.
Step 4: Route the PV conductors through the conduit fitting and into the inverter.
Step 5: Secure the PV conductors in place into their respective terminals and torque to 10.6 in-lbs. (1.2
Nm). Verify the cables are secure by lightly tugging on them.
Step 6: Ensure the conduit and conduit fittings are fastened reliably, and the cable entry holes are
sealed.
WARNING: Please follow the steps listed below to ensure proper PV connections.
NOTE: The array may have a higher Imp than the 17A specified, but the MPPTs may
not make full use of the extra current which could lead to component deterioration
over time.
NOTE:
All exposed metal parts of the system must be grounded regardless of
voltage, including solar panel frames.
DO NOT GROUND NEGATIVE PV LINES, ONLY SOLAR PANEL FRAMES!
NOTE:
If using fine stranded wire, use ferrules to secure the connections to the inverter

14
Please see diagram below for PV terminal labeling:

Ground-Neutral Bonding
The information below describes the nature of the ground and neutral in the inverter and
their relationship to the system. Always consult with the installer or alicensed electrician
to ensure that the right configuration is being used:
•The neutral line is asolid connection between AC input and AC output (known as
aCommon Neutral Architecture).
•The neutral line between the AC input and AC output is never disconnected.
•This architecture assumes there is a single neutral-ground bond in the system. Typically, the
neutral-ground bond for a system will be at the first means of disconnect for the grid. However, if
there is no neutral-ground bond in the system, the 6000XP can be configured to create the bond
internally (see setting 26).
5.7.1 STEPS FOR AC CONNECTION
Please follow the steps outlined below to ensure proper
AC Input/Output connections.
Step 1: Before installation of any wiring, please ensure all
breakers are open (o) before making any connections. Use a
