The same as that of the PE wire in the AC
cable
(1) The cable requirements for COM2 terminal connection are the same.
(2) All the AC wires should be equipped with correctly colored cables for distinguishing.
Please refer to related standards about the wiring color.
5.4 External Protective Grounding Connection
Electric shock!
• Make sure that the grounding cable is connected reliably. Otherwise, it may
cause electric shock.
• Since the inverter is not equipped with a transformer, neither the negative elec-
trode nor the positive electrode of the PV string can be grounded. Otherwise,
the inverter will not operate normally.
• Connect the grounding terminal to the external protective grounding point be-
fore AC cable connection, PV string connection, and communication cable
connection.
• The external protective grounding point provides a reliable ground connection.
Do not use an improper grounding conductor for grounding, Otherwise, it may
cause product damage or personal injury.
• Depending on Local Rules, please also ground the PV panel subconstruction to
the same common grounding point (PE Bar) in addition to local lightning pro-
tection rules.
