[. . . ] · Connect one of the inverter's positive terminals to the DC disconnect. · Connect the DC disconnect to the positive terminal of the battery bank. · Connect the Series Stacking Cable (SWI) to the STACKING port of both inverters. · Connect the DC chassis ground lugs of both inverters together using a heavy gauge wire. · Connect the negative end of the battery bank to a solid earth ground (refer to inverter installation manual). NOTE: Connect the positive and negative wires to the batteries as show in the illustration below. This ensures an even charge and discharge through the battery bank.

Series Stacking (continued) Series Stack DC Wiring (two disconnect devices) When stacking two inverters using two DC disconnect devices, connect the units and batteries as follows (refer to Figure 2-4): · Tie the inverter's negative terminals together using an appropriate length of cable (sized to fit). · Connect a cable from the L1 inverter's negative terminal to the negative terminal of the battery bank. · Connect a cable from the L2 inverter's negative terminal to the negative terminal of the battery bank. · Connect a cable from the L1 inverter's positive terminals to the DC disconnect. · Connect a short cable from the DC disconnect to the positive terminal of the battery bank. · Connect a cable from the L2 inverter's positive terminal to the DC disconnect. · Connect a short cable from the DC disconnect to the positive terminal of the battery bank. · Connect the Series Stacking Cable (SWI) to the STACKING port of both inverters. · Connect the inverter's DC chassis ground lugs together using a heavy gauge wire. NOTE: Connect the positive and negative wires to the batteries as show in the illustration below. This ensures an even charge and discharge through the battery bank.

Series Stacking (continued) Wiring with a Conduit Box When wiring a stacked pair of inverters using a conduit box, a longer DC cable must be supplied to connect the negative terminals of the inverters together. The following illustration shows how the inverters are wired in a conduit box. This wiring arrangement is basically the same as the previous illustration (Figure 2-Series Stacking (continued) Battery Connections for Stacked Inverters When using inverters in a stacked configuration, the same battery bank must be used for both inverters. To ensure even charging of the batteries, each inverter must be connected to both strings (i. e. , positive cable to string 2, and negative cable to string 1 for inverter L1; and positive cable to string 1 and negative cable to string 2 for inverter L2) as shown in the diagram below. [. . . ] Ensure the main service panel's circuit breakers feeding the inverters are OFF. Use an AC voltmeter and measure the voltage between the L1 terminal and neutral bus in the sub-panel. Measure the voltage between the L2 terminal and neutral bus in the sub-panel. Switch ON the main service panel's circuit breakers feeding the inverters. [. . . ]
