A4 Knockout

Plate

A knockout plate (PN: MMP-KP) can be purchased to facilitate running conduit from the top of
the MMP enclosure, or for use as a safety plate. If your Magnum inverter is ever removed for
service and the AC bypass breaker is used to continue to power the inverter loads, attaching
the knockout plate prevents accidental access to live electrical circuits inside the MMP enclosure
(see Figure A4-1).

WARNING: If the knockout plate is used as a safety plate, the bus bars from the

top of the DC disconnect must be prevented from touching the metal knockout plate

or a short circuit to the battery bank may occur—causing very lethal currents. Either

remove these bus bars or isolate them (i.e., using electrical tape/rubber caps), do not

rely ONLY on turning the DC disconnect switch off.

Info: Four #10-32 x 3/8” Pan head, T25 Torx drive, thread cutting screws; and four #10

lock washers are used to secure the knockout plate to the enclosure.

Info:

Before removing the appropriate knockouts (Figure A4-2), think about whether

you are going to use

cable clamps or conduit, and

all the different wiring required.
