6.1 Typical connection modes
 
This chapter describes ten kinds of typical connection modes, from which the customer can 
select according to his own needs. When a connection macro is selected via the operator panel 
(for details, please refer to " Operation mode ② - Connection macro selection") after the wiring 
work, relevant parameter settings will be done automatically, which greatly helps simplify the 
work of quick commissioning   
 
 
WARNING
Direct contact between copper earthing conductor and aluminium PE terminal will lead to 
significant corrosion due to electrochemical action! Make sure that copper earthing conductor 
is corrosion resistant or properly plated.
The earth-leakage current exceeding 3.5 mA may occur during normal operation of the 
inverter. A permanently fixed ground connection must be provided. 
 
 
CAUTION
The inverter digital input terminals, analog input/output terminals and the communication port 
between the inverter body unit and the operator panel should be double-insulated from live 
parts and meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) in EN61800-5-1, and 
those terminals shall be connected to other SELV circuits.
The inverter output terminals (relay output, max. 250 V) are at a dangerously high voltage 
when Non-SELV control voltage is applied. Use only approved double insulated cable for 
supply connection with nominal cross-section area of at least 0.75 mm

 / 300 V / 75 °C and 
protected by max. 6A external fuse, type gG approved based on IEC 60269.
