Operation
3.0 Operation
The MMP enclosure provides you with circuit breakers/disconnects to easily operate and maintain
your inverter/battery system. These breakers are used as the main power disconnecting means
and/or overcurrent protection. Refer to Figure 3-1 (MMP F unctional Diagram) to see the functional
operation of the breakers within the MMP enclosure.
Info: Figure 3-1 is for descriptive purposes only, for specifi c wiring directions please
refer to the relevant wiring diagram in the Installation section of this manual.
Info: For information on operating the inverter, refer to its owner’s manual.
If a short-circuit condition occurs, or if a load is placed on the circuit breaker that is more than its
rated capacity, the breaker will trip OFF (down). On the AC breakers, a red indicator will display
through the clear window on the circuit breaker to show a tripped condition. On the other circuit
breakers, the handle will trip all the way to the OFF position.
Before resetting the breaker, fi rst determine the cause of the overcurrent fault. Then, reset the
circuit breaker by turning it all the way OFF, and then all the way back ON. For proper maintenance
and longer life, the circuit breakers should be turned off and on several times at least once a year.
This will help to prevent the contacts inside from sticking together.
To shut the MMP/inverter system OFF completely, all of the circuit breakers in the MMP
enclosure should be switched to the OFF position.
