PREPARATION
Check that you have Enphase Field Wireable Q Connectors for three-phase Q Cable
as needed for your installation. Both female and male connectors are sold in packs
of ten:
• Field Wireable Q connector for three-phase (female):
(Q-CONN-3P-10F)
• Field Wireable Q connector for three-phase (male):
(Q-CONN-3P-10M)
Make sure you have the following recommended tools:
• Screwdriver blade width 3.5mm, PH1 Screwdriver
• 30mm wrench
Use Enphase Field Wireable Q Connectors with three-phase Enphase Q Cable or eld cable to:
• Easily connect three-phase Q Cables without complex wiring
• Use a mated pair of connectors to end-feed the branch circuit with an AC connection
• Use mated pairs of connectors to connect with a remote part of the array

B) Connect the conductors to the contact carrier. Match the assign-
ment according to the label on the contact carrier.
* WARNING: Ensure that the correct connection for Line, Neutral,
Earth match according to the label on the contact carrier. In case
of mismatch, phase balance of system will be affected.
NOTE: For exible wires, we recommend using ferrules acc. to
DIN 46228 that are crimped with jointing clamp.
C) Torque the contact carrier screws to 1 Nm.
D) Push the contact carrier into the housing until it snaps in audibly.
E) Tighten the cable gland to a torque of 6.5 Nm.
* WARNING: Observe the permitted bending radius during installation.
The degree of protection might fail if the bend radius is exceeded.
A) Prepare the cable:
• Push the cable gland over the cable.
• If there are multiple seals, select a seal that ts your cable
diameter.
• Push the housing with seal over the cable.
• Strip 50mm from the cable.
• Shorten conductors N, L1, L2, and L3 by 8 mm, but keep PE (prot.
earth) at 50mm.
• Strip 12mm from the conductors.
ASSEMBLY
Follow the steps to assemble Enphase Field Wireable Q Connectors for three-phase connections.
FEMALE MALE
Loosening the cable
• Loosen the cable gland.
• Use the screwdriver to release the contact carrier on both sides.
• Pull the contact carrier from the housing.
• Loosen the screws on the contact carrier, and loosen the wires.

Safety Symbols
+DANGER: This indicates a hazardous situation, which if
not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
*WARNING: This indicates a situation where failure to
follow instructions may be a safety hazard or cause
equipment malfunction. Use extreme caution and follow
instructions carefully.
;WARNING: Risk of burn. Failure to follow instructions may
result in burn injury.
✓NOTE: This indicates information particularly important
for optimal system operation.
SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
SAVE THIS INFORMATION.
Follow all safety and assembly instructions when installing En-
phase Field Wireable Q Connectors.
Safety Instructions
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Do not use Enphase equipment in a manner not specied by the manufacturer.
Doing so may cause death or injury to persons, or dam-
age to equipment.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Be aware that installation of this equipment includes risk of electric shock. Do not
use without rst removing AC power from the Enphase
System. Disconnect the power coming from the photovol-
taics before servicing or installing.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Before mak- ing any connections verify that the circuit breakers are in
the off position. Double check all wiring before applying
power.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Only use electrical system components approved for wet locations,
including but not limited to conduit ttings.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Only qualied personnel should install, troubleshoot, or replace the
Enphase Field Wireable Q Connector.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the Field Wireable Q Connector or its components may result in a
shock, re or explosion. To reduce these risks, disconnect
all wiring before attempting any maintenance.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Ensure that all AC and DC wiring is correct and that none of the AC wires
are pinched, shorted, or damaged.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Do not attempt to repair or alter the Enphase Field Wireable Q
Connector.
+DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of re. Make sure the conductors are not damaged. If the exposed wires are
damaged, the system may not function properly.
*WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. Enphase male and female connectors must only be mated with the matching
male/female connector.
*WARNING: Risk of equipment damage. This product is
intended for operation with a maximum operating temper-
ature of 110ºC.

ing the current.
*WARNING: Without earthing connection.
✓NOTE: Using unapproved attachments or accessories
may result in damage or injury.
✓NOTE: When looping the Enphase Q Cable, do not form
loops smaller than 12 cm in diameter.
✓NOTE: Perform all electrical installations in accordance
with all applicable local electrical codes.
✓NOTE: To ensure optimal reliability and to meet warranty
requirements, install the Enphase Field Wireable Q Con-
nectors according to the instructions in this guide.
✓NOTE: Protection against lightning and resulting voltage
surge must be in accordance with local standards.
✓NOTE: The connector is considered to be in compliance
only when assembled in the manner specied by these
assembly instructions.
✓NOTE: For exible wires, we recommend using ferrules
acc. to DIN 46228 that are crimped with jointing clamp.
✓NOTE: Cable used with Enphase Field Wireable Q Connec-
tors must meet the following requirements:
• Min/max outer insulation diameter (including the
clear second insulator): 8mm / 21mm
• Wire size: 2.5mm2 to 6mm2
DISCONNECT (if needed)
To disconnect Enphase three-phase Field Wireable Q Connectors,
release the two connectors by pressing down the snap with a screw-
driver. You can then separate the connectors.
* WARNING: Never plug in or disconnect the connectors under
load. The connectors are not suitable for interrupting the current.
