Parts And Tools Required; Lightning Surge Protection - Enphase Energy M215 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

Parts and Tools Required

In addition to the M215 microinverters, PV modules, PV racking, and associated
hardware, you will need the following items.
Enphase equipment required:
• Enphase Envoy™ Communications Gateway
• Engage Cable, as needed
• Cable clips
• Sealing caps as needed (for any unused drops on the Engage Cable)
• Terminators, as needed (one needed at the end of each AC branch circuit)
• Enphase disconnect tool
Other equipment required:
• AC Junction boxes
• Gland or strain relief fitting (one per AC junction box)
• Earthing conductor
•
Torque wrench, sockets, wrenches for mounting hardware
• Adjustable wrench or open-ended wrench (for terminators)
• Tool for PV module locking connectors
•
Handheld mirror (for viewing indicator lights on the undersides of the
microinverters)
•
Laptop or other computer for Envoy set up

Lightning Surge Protection

Lightning protection and resulting voltage surge are protected in accordance with
EN 62305-1. It is assumed that the PV modules are installed in accordance with
related standards and that the microinverter is a part of a broader lightning
mitigation system in accordance with EN 62305-1, -3.
In some areas, the statistical frequency of lightning strikes near a PV installation
is high enough that lightning protection must be installed as part of an Enphase
system. In some areas, a surge protection device might be mandatory following a
risk analysis, according NF C 15-100 (art. 443) & NF C 15-443L.
