6.4 Connecting the AC Output Cable

WARNING

• Do not connect loads between the inverter and the AC switch directly connected to it.
• Where an external RCD (Residual Current Device) is required in addition to the built-in
RCMU (Residual Current Monitoring Unit), a type A RCD must be used to avoid tripping.
The action current of RCD should be 300mA or higher.

An AC circuit breaker should be installed on the AC side to make sure that the inverter can safety
disconnect the grid when an exception happens. Select the appropriate AC circuit breaker in
compliance with local laws and regulations. Recommended AC circuit breakers:
