10. Calculate the maximum DC system voltage (shall not exceed the inverter maximum DC input voltage and shall not
exceed 600volts):

Maximum#of modules per string �� x Voc 7 x temperature correction factor volts gove�
p4eh op),M,'LPr;
NOTE: This formula is intended to provide a close approximation of the maximum DC system voltage possible at thejob
location underthe lowest ambient temperature condition.This result will always be slightly higherthan when
using the module manufacturer supplied temperature coefficient.The intent is to alert the installer that the 600
volt limit is close to being exceeded and is not intended to provide as accurate a result as the calculation
employing the manufacturer supplied coefficient. Where the installer chooses to use the manufacturer's
supplied coefficient, approval by the local enforcing agency is required.
11. Calculate the maximum DC current per string to allow for peak sunlight conditions and continuous operation in
excess of three hours:
Module Isc x 1.56 , Max amps carried by the conductor
12. Choosing a conductor size for the DC source circuits and output circuit
Where Type USE-2 or other listed PV conductors are run in free air from the module locations to a junction box or
combiner box,the minimum size permitted shall be#12 AWG per the module manufacturers' installation
instructions and the conductor material shall be copper.
If any part of the wiring from the modules to the combiner box or inverter is to be installed in a raceway,reductions
in the amount of current the conductors can carry may have to be made. Conductors to be installed in a raceway
shall be Type THWN-2 or equivalent and the conductor material shall be copper.
To select the correct conductor size for the PV source circuits from the modules to the combiner box or to the
inverter,go to Table A on page 4. Select how many conductors you will have in the raceway and how high above the
roof surface the raceway will be mounted. Using the appropriate "Ambient Temperature"section for the job
location,select the number from the column in Table A that matches the result you entered in Item#11.The
number in Table A may be the same or larger than the number in Item#11,but it shall not be less. Move to the top
of the column to see the minimum size conductor needed for this part of the installation. Enter the number here for
the Source Circuit Conductor Size: # 18 AWG,
NOTE: Per Section 336.12(B)(1), USE-2 shall not be used for interior wiring.
PROJECT ADDRESS ���� JU{d� ��lg✓+d WL}L�
13. If a combiner box is to be installed to connect the string circuits together,then the size of the "Output Circuit"
conductors from the combiner to the inverter must be determined.To do this, multiply the number of strings that
are to be combined (from Item#3)with the "Max amps" (from Item#11):
x = Amps
Using Table A, repeat the process used to select the conductor size for the source circuits and enter the number her for .
Output Circuit Conductor size:# MV AWG (If no combiner box,enter N/A)
14. Where a combiner box is installed,or where more than two strings of modules are electrically connected together in
"parallel", each individual string shall be protected by its own overcurrent protection or feeders to be sized for sum
of all short circuit current of all strings.The fuse or breaker shall be listed as being suitable for use in a DC circuit and
shall meet or exceed the maximum voltage of the circuit.The rating of the fuse or circuit breaker shall not be larger
than the maximum size specified on the lowest rated module in the string.All combiner boxes shall be listed by a
recognized listing agency and labeled as such.
Max fuse/breaker size permitted (from Item#8) Amps
Fuse/breaker size installed Amps
NOTE: Where the module specifies "Max fuse size", a circuit breaker shall not be substituted.Where the module
specifies"Max overcurrent protective devise" (Max OCPD),then either a fuse or DC rated circuit breaker may be
used.
NOTE: Per Section 69031(E), DC wiring can only be run inside of the house if it is installed in a listed metallic raceway
or enclosure.
PROJECT ADDRESS
GROUNDING THE DC SIDE OF THE INVERTER:
A minimum#8 copper Grounding Electrode conductor must be run un-spliced from the factory identified system
grounding terminal of the inverter to the grounding electrode system of the house.The grounding electrode
system may consist of one or more of the following:Ground rod(s), Ufer ground, or metallic water pipe with a
minimum of 10 feet in the ground(Section 690.47).
AC WIRING INFORMATION
15.The inverter shall be listed and labeled by a recognized testing agency and be identified as "Utility Interactive'.
Ground fault protection (GFP)shall comply with Section 690.5 of the 2013 CEC.
Specify inverter: Make Gf FJ e Model# SQ3 QQ A'u5 Elec rating 3. kW
16. Per Section 690.9, each inverter shall be protected by an overcurrent devise on the AC output side of the inverter.
This can be a fuse or a circuit breaker.To correctly size the overcurrent devise, locate the maximum AC output of the
inverter(in amps)on the inverter nameplate, and multiply by 1.25(this is required because the unit will be in
continuous use for more than three hours). This number will also be used to size the inverter output circuit
conductors.
Maximum AC output current x 1.25 = �® Amps
Where the"Maximum AC output' is shown only in watts,divide that number by 240,then multiply by 1.25 to get
the correct size breaker or fuse. If the maximum AC output is between standard breaker or fuse sizes,the next
higher size can be used so long as the inverter output conductors are sized sufficiently large enough for the amount
of current produced by the inverter.
NOTE: Where a fused disconnect switch is installed,the output conductors from the inverter will connect to the "Load"
side (bottom)terminals of the switch and the wiring from the utility will connect to the "Line"side(top)
terminals.This meets the requirement of Section 404.6(C) and will reduce the risk of electrical shock hazards
when changing a fuse with the system still energized by the utility electrical supply.
17. Many utility providers require a performance meter and a safety disconnect switch to be installed between the PV
power source and their equipment.This means that the AC power output from the inverter(s)may not connect
directly to the electrical panel of the house. For a single inverter,the output from the inverter disconnect switch will
connect to the performance meter(if required).Where multiple central inverters are installed,they will usually go
first to a solar load center.This is just a standard circuit breaker panel that collects together the output circuits from
the individual inverters. Each inverter will have its own circuit breaker.The size of each circuit breaker will be
determined from item#16. From this panel one feeder will go to the performance meter,then to the safety
disconnect switch and lastly to the point of interconnection at the house electrical panel. No electrical loads shall be
connected between the output of the inverter and the connection to the house electrical panel. Contact the local
utilities for performance meter and AC utility disconnect switch requirements.
PROJECTADDRESS (/�" ��• "A��" p�
18. Where a performance meter is required by the local utility to record the power produced by the PV system,the
output wiring from the inverter shall always connect to the"Line'side terminals of the meter.
19. Where disconnect switches(with or without fuses) are installed in the circuit from the inverter output terminals to
the house electrical panel,the wiring originating at the inverter(s)shall always connect to the"Load"side terminals
of ANY disconnect that has been installed.
20. The connection to the breaker panel shall be through a dedicated circuit breaker that connects to the panel bus bars
in an approved manner."Load Side Taps"where the inverter AC wiring does not terminate using a dedicated
breaker or set of fuses are prohibited under ANY condition by Section 705.12(D)(1).
21. Per Section 705.12(D)(1),the sum of all overcurrent protective devices supplying power to the bus bar or conductor
shall not exceed 120%of their rating. In most PV installations,the breakers feeding the bulbar are the main breaker
and the backfed PV breaker. Per Section 705.12(D)(2),to utilize the 120%rule,the PV backfed breaker must be at
the opposite end of the main breaker location. For a 100 amp rated bus,this means that the main breaker and the
PV backfed breaker shall not add up to more than 120 amps. For a 200 amp rated bus,the combined ampacity of
the two breakers (the main breaker and the PV breaker)shall not exceed 240 amps and so on.The location of the
PV backfed breaker must be identified per Section 705.12(D)(7)with the following verbiage: "WARNING:INVERTER
OUTPUT CONNECTION. DO NOT RELOCATE THE OVERCURRENT DEVISE'
NOTE: Where it is not possible to locate the breakers at the opposite ends of the panel bus,the sum of the two
breakers is not permitted to exceed 100%of the bus rating.
NOTE: In some cases it may be possible to reduce the size of the main circuit breaker to accommodate the addition of a
PV breaker and still not exceed the bus bar rating.This requires that a"load calculation" of the house electrical
power consumption be made in order to see if this is an acceptable solution.
22. Per Section 690.53,a permanent label for the DC power source shall be installed at the PV DC disconnecting means.
This label shall show the following:(a) Rated maximum power-point current, (b) Rated maximum power-point
voltage,(c) Maximum system voltage, (d)Short circuit current of the PV system.
(a) Rated maximum power-point current(mppA):This is the actual current in amps produced by the PV
system. Multiply the Imax value from the module nameplate by the number of strings in the system.
Imax x#of strings = )a. 3 Amps
(b) Rated maximum power-point voltage(mpp ):This is the highest operating voltage of the PV system.
Multiply the Vmax value from the module nameplate by the number of modules in the largest string.
