Installing a Series System

Xantrex recommends that you have an electrician set up the two PROsines
because knowledge of the electrical code, split-phase systems, and load
balancing is required.

See page 3–3 for a list of tools and materials required for installation.

See “Step 1: Designing the Installation” on page 3–4 for information about
wire sizes, over-current protection, and disconnection means.

Connect the system as shown in Figure 7-1 on page 7–3.

Detailed procedures for setting up an AC series system are given below.

Connecting AC Input Wiring

To connect each PROsine to the utility 120/240Vac split-phase supply:

1. Assign one PROsine to Line 1 and one to Line 2 and maintain the same

assignment throughout the AC input and AC output wiring steps.

2. Connect 2-conductor-plus-ground cable to a 30A breaker on Line 1 in the

source panel, and to the panel’s neutral bus and ground bus.

3. Run the 2-conductor-plus-ground cable to the Line 1 PROsine and connect:

The Line 1 conductor to its AC Input Line conductor (black)

The neutral to its AC Input neutral conductor

The ground to its AC Input ground terminal

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, connecting the 30A breaker on Line 2, neutral, and

ground from the source panel to the input wires and ground

of the L2

PROsine.

WARNING

Xantrex Technology recommends that all wiring be completed by a certified technician or
electrician to ensure adherence to approved electrical wiring regulations.

WARNING: Fire, Shock, and Energy hazard

Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before you handle. All wiring
must be done in accordance with local and national electrical wiring codes. Do not connect
the output terminals of the

PROsines

to any incoming AC sources.
