Note the following items when laying out cables on site:
• The axial tension on PV connectors must not exceed 80 N. Avoid axial cable
stress on the connector for a long time during field wiring.
• Radial stress or torque must not be generated on PV connectors. It may cause
the connector waterproof failure and reduce connector reliability.
• Leave at least 50 mm of slack to avoid the external force generated by the cable
bending affecting the waterproof performance.
• Refer to the specifications provided by the cable manufacturer for the minimum
cable bending radius. If the required bending radius is less than 50 mm, reserve
a bending radius of 50 mm. If the required bending radius is greater than 50 mm,
reserve the required minimum bending radius during wiring.
5.6.1 PV Input Configuration
• The inverters SG3.0RT/SG4.0RT/SG5.0RT/SG6.0RT/SG5.0RT-P2/SG6.0RT-P2 have
two PV inputs, SG7.0RT/SG8.0RT/SG10RT/SG12RT/SG7.0RT-P2/SG8.0RT-P2/
SG10RT-P2/SG12RT-P2 have three PV inputs and SG15RT/SG17RT/SG20RT/
SG15RT-P2/SG17RT-P2/SG20RT-P2 have four PV inputs.
• The inverters have two MPP trackers. Each DC input area can operate independently.
• The PV strings to the same DC input area should have the same type, the same number
of PV panels, identical tilt and identical orientation for maximum power.
• The PV strings to two DC input areas may differ from each other, including PV module
type, number of PV modules in each string, angle of tilt, and installation orientation.
