4.3 Automatic grid voltage detection
The Sunny Boy is designed to automatically detect which grid voltage it is feeding if a neutral
conductor is connected to the inverter. Depending upon the voltage and phase angle between L1-N
and L2-N, the inverter will determine if it is connected to a 208 V or 240 V.
The following table lists voltage and frequency limits for the AC connection.
