Installation 101 Three Phase & Parallel – SCS

Up to six identical units, with the exception of the 8k, 10k or 15k units*, can be connected in parallel. When connecting inverter/charger units in parallel, the following requirements must be met:

  • All units must be connected to the same battery.
  • A maximum of six units can be connected in parallel.
  • Only identical devices may be connected in parallel.
  • The DC connection cables to the devices must be of equal length and cross-section.
  • If a positive and a negative DC distribution point is used, the cross-section of the connection between the batteries and the DC distribution point must at least equal the sum of the required cross-sections of the connections between the distribution point and the inverter/charger units.
  • Place the inverter/charger units close to each other, but allow at least 10cm for ventilation purposes under, above and beside the units.
  • UTP cables must be connected directly from one unit to another (and to the remote panel). Connection or splitter boxes are not permitted.
  • Always interconnect the negative battery cables before placing the UTP cables.
  • Only one remote control means (panel or switch) can be connected to the system.
