The Enphase Engage Cable and Accessories
The Engage Cable is a continuous length of 2.5 mm2 (12 AWG), outdoor rated
cable with integrated connectors for microinverters. These connectors are
preinstalled along the Engage Cable at intervals to accommodate PV module
widths. The microinverters plug directly into the cable connectors.
Compatibility
The cabling is compatible with a variety of PV racking systems. For a list of
approved PV racking systems, refer to the PV Racking Compatibility document on
the Enphase website (
http://www.enphase.com/support/downloads
).
Parts and Tools Required
In addition to the Enphase microinverters, PV modules, PV racking, and
associated hardware, you will need the following items.
Enphase equipment:
Enphase Engage Cable. See Selecting Cable Type on page 8 for options.
Watertight sealing caps, as needed (for any unused drops on the cable)
Terminators, as needed (for AC branch circuit cable ends)
Cable clips
Enphase disconnect tool (number 2 Phillips
screwdriver can be substituted)
Other items:
Outdoor-rated, weather-proof AC junction
box(es)
Grounding conductor
Torque wrench, sockets, wrenches for
mounting hardware
Adjustable wrench or open ended wrench (for terminators)
Lightning Surge Protection
Lightning protection and resulting voltage surge are protected in accordance with
EN 62305-1. It is assumed that the PV modules are installed in accordance with
related standards and that the microinverter is a part of a broader lightning
mitigation system in accordance with EN 62305-1, -3.
In some areas, the statistical frequency of lightning strikes near a PV installation
is high enough that lightning protection must be installed as part of an Enphase
system. In some areas, a surge protection device might be mandatory following a
risk analysis, according NFC 15-100 (art. 443) & NFC 15-443L.
