Warning! Risk of electric shock. 

To maintain the warranty,  

do not modify the cover. 

      

Wire the Grid Connections

A )  Use conductors sized per local code requirements taking into con-

sideration the voltage drop/rise and upstream breaker or fuse. The 

terminals accept wire range 1/0 to 250kcmil. Wires must be Class B 

or Class C only, and conductors with finer strands are not approved. 

Note that the rated maximum breaker size is 250 A.

B )  The terminal lugs on the left with four terminals are for the grid 

connection. Install L1 into the left-most terminal, L2 into the second 

from the left, L3 into the third from left and neutral at the remaining 

terminal. These connections require a 7/16 Allen wrench.

C )  Connect the ground to a ground lug. Ground connections requite 

a 5/16 Allen wrench. 

D )  Torque all connections as indicated by the 

Wiring Table

.

Wire Inputs from the Array (AC Branch Circuits)

A )  Use copper conductors sized to meet local code requirements and 

voltage drop/rise considerations. The terminals accept wire range 1/0 

to 250kcmil. Wires must be Class B or Class C only, and conductors 

with finer strands are not approved. 

B )  Connect the ground (green or green/yellow) to a ground lug. Ground 

connections require a 5/16 Allen wrench, and accept a wire range of 4 

to 2/0 AWG. 

C )  The terminal lugs on the contactor (on the right side of the box) 

with three terminals are for the array connection. Install L1 into the 

left-most terminal, L2 into the center, and L3 into the right. These 

connections require a 7/16 Allen wrench.

D )  Connect the Array neutral, if required, to the terminal block shared with 

the Grid connections.

E )  Torque connections as indicated by the 

Wiring Table

.

NOTE

Enphase IQ Series Microinverters use a two-wire system and 

do not use a Neutral. However, the IQ Envoy in the NPR still requires a 

Neutral from the load center.

Warning! Risk of equipment damage. 

Observe bend radius 

requirements when routing wires.

Copper conductors only, rated minimum 90°C. Follow 

NFPA 70 (NEC) or CSA C22.1 part 1 and all local 

codes.

      

Drill Holes to Accept Conduit

A )  Unlock and open the Three-Phase NPR cover.
B )  See the Conduit Entry diagram for the best locations to drill holes for conduit fittings. 

NOTE: When drilling, consider the internal parts of the NPR. Make sure that the holes do not interfere with the internal workings, mechanics, or the cover 

legs in the corners of the NPR. 

 

 

Best Practice:

 

Use a stepped drill bit to make the conduit holes. Using a hole saw may crack the plastic housing. As an alternative, use a sharp chassis 

punch with caution. 

C )  Use a snap punch or other type of center punch to prevent the drill from wandering. Drill a pilot hole with a smaller drill before using a step drill bit. 
D )  Use only UL-listed rain-tight hubs for wire entry into the enclosure.

Warning! Risk of equipment damage. 

Do not drill conduit 

holes on the top of the box or at any location that allows 

moisture ingress.
