Connecting alu-
minium cables

The DC-side terminals are suitable for connecting single-wire, round aluminium cables.
Because of the formation of a non-conductive oxide layer due to the reaction of alumini-
um with air, the following points must be considered when connecting aluminium cables:
-

the reduced rated currents for aluminium cables

-

the connection conditions listed below

Note! 

Always follow the cable manufacturer instructions when using aluminium cables.

Note! 

When designing cable cross-sections, take local regulations into account.

Connection conditions:

1

Carefully clean the oxide layer from the bare end of the cable by scraping it, e.g. with
a knife

IMPORTANT! 

Do not use brushes, files or emery paper, as the aluminium particles get

trapped and can be transferred to other conductors.

2

Once the oxide layer is removed, rub the end of the cable with a neutral grease,
such as non-acidic and non-alkaline Vaseline

3

Immediately connect the cable end to the terminal

IMPORTANT! 

Repeat the procedure if the cable has been disconnected and is to be re-

connected.

Solar module
strings - check-
ing the polarity
and voltage

CAUTION!

Danger due to incorrect polarity and voltage.

This may result in damage to the inverter.

Check the polarity and voltage of the solar module strings before making the con-
nection. The voltage must not exceed the following values:

Fronius Symo:

When installed between 0 and 2000 m above sea level: 1000 V

When installed between 2001 and 2500 m above sea level: 950 V

When installed between 2501 and 3000 m above sea level: 900 V

When installed between 3001 and 3400 m above sea level: 850 V

the Fronius Symo must not be installed at an altitude exceeding 3400 m above sea
level

Fronius Eco:

When installed between 0 and 2000 m above sea level: 1000 V

When installed between 2001 and 2500 m above sea level: 950 V

the Fronius Eco must not be installed at an altitude exceeding 2500 m above sea
level
