6. AC Connections at the Inverter
For the 3-phase AC wiring, for both PVI 14TL and PVI 20TL, five conductors are recommended,
one per phase along with a neutral and an AC equipment ground as per local requirements. 90°C
rated copper conductors must be used. The integrated disconnect switch terminals are listed for
75⁰C wire; see NEC 310.10 or Canadian Electrical Code regarding temperature ratings of wire and
terminals. Temperature derating, voltage drop and other considerations may dictate that larger
than minimum wire sizes be used. Verify that wire size choices meet local codes and are
properly sized to reduce voltage drop.

Table 6.1 AC Customer Connections and Interconnection Information
The inverter includes an M5 stud for the connection of an AC Equipment Grounding Conductor
(EGC). The stud can accept a single copper conductor ranging from 8 to 10 AWG. AC ECG shall be
sized per local code requirements. The AC EGC is connected to the stud via an M5 nut. A crimp
lug is available in the accessory box provided. Torque: 10 in-lbs.
