6 Electrical Connection
All cables are fed through the openings on the bottom side of the device (see next illustration) and
connected to the appropriate connection terminals on the Sunny Island.
Use cable ducts to install the cables on the DC and AC sides on the Sunny Island. The cable ducts
guarantee a dust-free and waterproof installation of the cables in the enclosure and also provide
strain relief for the cable connection. Close all unused openings in the enclosure using the appropriate
filler plugs.
Use the provided terminal blocks to connect the cables inside the Sunny Island enclosure in a manner
conforming to the appropriate standards.
