.installation_Manual: MEMC Silvantis 60 cell PV Modules. _9 of 15 <br />WARNING: Itis not recommended to mix connectors from different suppliers withinthe same Str:ing.This includes <br />connections at the inverter, combiner boxes, and modules. <br />Always wire modules so that proper polarity is maintained. Avoid placing excessive tension or' the cables. <br />There is no limit to the maximum number of series stringsthat can be combined in parallel. However, when doing so, each <br />string must include overcurrent protection with a maximum rating of 15A. MEMC recommends the use of DC rated fuses or <br />overcurrent protection devices with the appropriate maximum voltage rating. <br />Do notconnect modules directlyte a parallel bus. <br />The cross-sectional area of cable and the connector type must be selected to align with the overall system design and should <br />include the maximum short circuit current o f the system, maximum operating temperatures, and cable run lengths. <br />For field connections, use at a minimum #12 AWG/4 mrlf wires insulated fora minimum of 85°C. Use copper wire only. <br />5.3 GROUNDING <br />The moduleframe includes several labeled=grounding holes.These holes may not be used forany other purpose. <br />MEMC recommends a Burhdy BGBI--4 AL lay-in lug forgrbunding. <br />.i Only Negative grounding circuits (negative polarity to ground) shall be'used within the array design. <br />Attach the grounding lug tothe frameas follows: <br />Step 1: Userstainless steel hardware. <br />Step 2: Place the grounding lug over the grounding hole on the exterior of the module frame. <br />Step 3: Place a star washer directly between the bottom of thegrounding lugand the exteriof surface of theframe. <br />Step 4: Place an M4 or#8-32 bolt through the lug, star washerand frame grounding hole. <br />Step 5: Securethelug tothe frame using a flat washer, split washerand M4 or #8-32 nut. <br />Step 6: Torquethe bolt stackto approximately 1.5 N-m (or 1.1 foot pounds) toensurethestar washer scratchesthe <br />anodized frame. <br />@ Copyright 2012 MEMC Electronic Material
