Danger
Do not connect the N-wire as a protective ground wire to the inverter casing. Otherwise,
it may cause electric shock.
Attention
Good grounding is good for resisting surge voltage shock and improving EMI perfor-
mance. Inverters must be well-grounded.
For a system with only one inverter, the PE cable needs to be grounded.
For a multi-inverter system, all inverters PE wires need to be connected to the same
grounding copper bar to ensure equipotential bonding.
Figure 4-8 Grounding terminal connection
※ 4.4 Electrical Connection
Danger
A high voltage in the conductive part of the inverter may cause an electric shock. When
installing the inverter, make sure that the AC and DC sides of the inverter are completely
de-energized.
Warning
Do not ground the positive or negative pole of the PV string, otherwise it will cause seri-
ous damage to the inverter.
Warning
Static may cause damage to the electronic components of the inverter. Anti- static mea-
sures should be taken during installation and maintenance.
Attention
Do not use other brands or other types of terminals other than the terminals in the ac-
cessory package. Sunways has the right to refuse all damages caused by the mixed-use
of terminals.
Attention
Moisture and dust can damage the inverter, ensure the cable gland is securely tightened
during installation. The warranty claim will be invalidated if the inverter is damaged as a
result of a poorly connected cable connector.
1. The following must be considered when making electrical connections to the inverter:

3.Insert the positive and negative connectors into the inverter DC input terminals re-
spectively, a click sound should be heard if the terminals are well connected, as shown
in Figure 4-13:
Figure 4-11
Figure 4-12
Warning
① Before assembling the DC connector, make sure that the cable polarity is correct.
② Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the DC input string, verify the polarity of
the DC input cable, and ensure that each string voltage is within 1000V.

Any damages caused by the moisture and dust that came into the inverter on account of
exposed to the air for a long time are out of Sunways warranty.
