Connecting alu-
minum cables
The AC-side terminals are designed for connecting single-wire, round, aluminum cables.
The following points must be taken into account when connecting aluminum cables due to
the non-conducting oxide layer of aluminum:
- Reduced rated currents for aluminum cables
- The connection requirements listed below
Connection Requirements:
Carefully clean off the oxide layer of the stripped end of the cable, e.g., using a knife.
IMPORTANTDo not use brushes, files or sandpaper. Aluminum particles may get stuck
and can transfer to other cables.
After removing the oxide layer of the cable end, rub in a neutral grease, e.g., acid- and
alkali-free Vaseline.
Then immediately connect it to the terminal.
Repeat the steps above whenever the cable is disconnected and then reconnected.
IMPORTANT! The resistance in the leads to the AC-side connection terminals must be as
low as possible for optimal functioning of grid monitoring.

NOTE! Connect the phase (L), neutral conductor (N), and grounding conductor
(PE) cables correctly!
NOTE! Take into account local specifications when configuring cable cross sec-
tions.
