19 Installatin Guidelines If cnnecting mre mdules than ptimizer inputs in parallel, use a branch cable. Sme cmmercial pwer ptimizer mdels have a dual input. Psitin the pwer ptimizer clse enugh t its mdule s that their cables can be cnnected. Make sure t use pwer ptimizers that have the required utput cnductr length: Minimize the use f extensins between pwer ptimizers. Yu can use extensin cables between rws and frm the end f string t the inverter. D nt use extensin cables between the mdules and the pwer ptimizers, r between tw pwer ptimizers within a string. The minimum and maximum string length guidelines are stated in the pwer ptimizer datasheets. Refer t the Designer fr string length verificatin. The Designer is available n the SlarEdge website at Cmpletely shaded mdules may cause their pwer ptimizers t temprarily shut dwn. This will nt affect the perfrmance f the ther pwer ptimizers in the string, as lng as the minimum number f unshaded pwer ptimizers cnnected in a string f mdules is met. If under typical cnditins fewer than the minimum ptimizers are cnnected t unshaded mdules, add mre ptimizers t the string. Equipment grunding tightening trques: 4-6 AWG: 45 lb-in, 8 AWG: 40 lb-in, AWG: 35 lb-in. T allw fr heat dissipatin, maintain a 2.5 cm / 1" clearance distance between the pwer ptimizer and ther surfaces, n all sides except the munting bracket side.
