• This architecture assumes there is a single neutral-ground bond in the system. Typically, the
neutral-ground bond for a system will be at the first means of disconnect for the grid. However, if
there is no neutral-ground bond in the system, the 6000XP can be configured to create the bond
internally (see setting 26).
Note: This is not a dynamic bond. It is always enabled or always disabled.
4.6.1 STEPS FOR AC CONNECTION
Please follow the steps outlined below to ensure proper AC Input/Output connections.
Note: Always be sure to connect your AC Output ground wire to the Ground terminal bus (labelled PE
in the diagram) first before installing your AC Outputs L1 and L2.
Step 1: Before installation of any wiring, please ensure all breakers are open (off) before making any
connections. Use a multimeter to confirm your AC Input lines (L1, L2 and neutral) are not energized.
Step 2: Strip off 5/16-3/8 in. (8-10
mm) insulation from the AC cables.
Note: If using fine stranded wire, use
ferrules to secure the connection.
Step 3: Fasten the AC Input wires
into their respective terminals using
the proper torque.
Reminder!
After connecting all AC wiring, put the built-in LOAD breaker back to the ON position before
providing power to the load.
4.7 WORKING WITH A GENERATOR
4.7.1 GENERATOR SYSTEM CONNECTION
The EG4 6000XP can utilize a generator for backup power in the case of Grid failure. When sizing
generators to provide both adequate power and frequency, keep in mind that the THD (Total Harmonic
Distortion) of the generator must be <3%. It is a good rule of thumb to size your generator for at least
1.5x the output of the inverter to allow for powering loads and charging batteries. The table listed below
shows the recommended generator capacity for optimal operations.
Number of Inverters in Parallel
When properly wired and configured, the generator, if compatible with remote start, will start automatically
when the battery voltage/SOC is lower than the cut-off value or there is a charge request from the BMS.
When the generator is running, it will charge the batteries and excess AC power will be diverted to the
L1 – Black
L2 – Red
Neutral – White
