Solar DC Input
For solar input, the junction box accepts DC input only. The terminal
designations are for negative and + for positive. See Table 5 on page
22 for the full list of terminal designations.
NOTICE: A DC-only system requires that an external ground wire be
connected to one of the -20 ground studs in the junction box.
AC Mains/Solar DC Input
The junction box can also be used for both AC and DC input. If both types
of input are to be used, then the two sides are divided and clearly marked
as AC Input Rectifier and DC Input Charger. See Table 5 on page 22
for the full list of terminal designations.
The AC input always takes up the first terminals (which correspond to the
top power shelves). The DC input begins thereafter for the shelves
reserved for solar chargers.

Protected DC Output
The front-facing side of the distribution section features two buses for
protected DC connections. There are either 20 (19 distribution) or 24 (23
distribution) moveable breaker holders provided for UL-approved, bullet-nose
circuit breakers. The breaker holders can be removed and reassigned to either
DC bus. Load and return landings accept up to #1 AWG cable with two-hole
1/4 lugs on 5/8 centers.
The lower bus is labeled CRITICAL and is intended for load connections. The
upper bus is labeled BATTERY and is intended for battery connections. If a
low-voltage disconnect (LVD) is desired, one can be ordered for either bus (not
both).

Ground
It is recommended that every system rack be grounded. Frame ground
connection points are located along the top of each rack provided by Eltek
Valere. Refer to the NEC, local codes, and customer specifications to
determine the appropriate wire size. Use of paint-penetrating washers,
abrasive compounds, or other means to achieve a reliable frame ground is
recommended.
Always make safety or chassis ground connections before connecting any
power. AC ground leads should be longer in length than the power leads.
NOTICE: A DC-only system requires that a ground wire from the photovoltaic
combiner be connected to one of the -20 ground studs in the junction box.

The bulk DC return bus has an extra landing for a central office (CO) ground
connection. A dedicated CO Ground conductor connection is recommended.
This conductor should be of the same or larger gauge than the largest system
conductor so that it can discharge total system current in a fault condition. A
THHN-style cable is recommended. Install this cable between the DC system
point and the critical site ground bar.

combustible material and of sufficient strength to withstand an earthquake.
There should be adequate clearance above the system for the AC feeds, as
well as adequate free space in front of and behind the rack for air flow.
Concrete expansion anchors should meet the following requirements:
o A maximum embedment depth of 90 mm (3.5)
o A maximum bolt diameter of 13 mm (0.5)
o Use steel construction
o Be suitable for earthquake zones
Use the following generic steps for rack installation:
1. Inspect the floor for compliance.
2. Drill holes 5/8 in diameter.
3. Place anchors into holes.
4. Place the rack over the anchors.
Rack Mounting
CAUTION: Never install a power system without capable assistance. Use
capable assistance when lifting and mounting the system.
If the Trilogy system is ordered without a rack or enclosure, use the following
instructions for rack installation:
1. Use proper lifting equipment to position the Trilogy system so that the
holes in the support bracket are aligned with the correct mounting
holes in the rack.
2. Use #12-24 screws to mount the system and tightened each to a
torque of 36 42 in-lbs.
Grounding
For electrical safety, it is recommended to connect a safety ground to one of
the available locations in the junction box. For systems powered by solar

Input Connections
Input connections are made to the junction box, which is located in the center-
rear of the distribution section and is a top-access panel. There are four
knockouts on the box for 3/4 conduit. The terminal blocks accept a maximum
wire size of #10 AWG. Recommended torque is 7 8 in-lbs.
Table 5 lists the designations for the maximum number of slots that can be
present in the largest size of Trilogy system. The designations are the same
for smaller systems (i.e., those with fewer shelves). See Figure 18 for the
division of terminal blocks by shelf. If necessary, refer to Figure 4 on page 11
to see which module slots are powered by which input terminals.
NOTICE: For ease of installation, it is recommended to work on the junction
box from the front of the system, and prior to making DC output connections.
In this orientation, connections are terminated to the near end of the block,
with the far end already wired to the shelves.

4. Make a note for each position on the label provided on the distribution
door.
NOTICE: The distribution device holders must be installed in the desired bus
before plugging over-current protection devices into the holders.
NOTICE: The distribution alarm circuit requires the use of breakers provided by
Eltek Valere.
Plug-in Breakers
Auxiliary contact circuit breakers are the standard over-current protection
devices used in the distribution section. Breakers are connected to
system alarming through the holder so that an open breaker (whether
tripped or manually placed in the OFF position) triggers a Load Distribution
Alarm in the Smartpack controller. Breakers should be removed from any
unused positions to prevent nuisance alarms. Single-pole circuit breakers
rated up to 100A can be installed. Straps are available to make use of
two-pole breakers rated up to 175A and three-pole breakers rated up to
250A.
Alarm Connections
To install an alarm wire to the board:
1. Strip the alarm wire end 3/8.
2. Press the white terminal clamp above the desired wire location.
3. Insert the alarm wire, and release the terminal clamp.
Alarm terminals are designed to accept a wire range of #26 AWG solid or
stranded to #18 AWG. The Form-C contacts provided in the system have a
rating of 1A at 60 VDC. Please refer to the Users GuideSmartpack
Monitoring & Ctrl Unit for further details of alarm relay designations and
assignment procedures.
Rectifier Installation
CAUTION: Never carry Smartpack or Flatpack2 modules by the handles, even
if they are warm. The handles must be fully extended before installing or
removing Smartpack and Flatpack2 modules to prevent damage to either the
shelf or module.
CAUTION: Flatpack2 power modules employ double-pole/neutral fusing.
Once AC power is activated, install each module as follows:
1. Release the latches by inserting a small flat-blade screwdriver into the
release slots and pressing the tip upward; extend each handle.
2. Beginning with the first rectifier position (as determined by site policy),
slide the first rectifier firmly into the shelf.
3. Close the latches to lock the rectifier in place.
4. Allow a 2 second delay before inserting the next module.
5. Continue installing rectifiers in the order desired.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 until all rectifiers to be used are installed.
Once the first rectifier is properly installed and powered, the controller starts
up.
NOTICE: Any DC circuit breakers left in the off position may trigger a
distribution alarm after the first rectifier is installed. If the load device can be
powered at this point, simply switch the breaker ON to clear the alarm.
Connecting Batteries
DANGER: Improper battery connections can cause permanent
damage to electrical equipment, serious personal injury, and/or
death. Always check polarity before making battery connections.
WARNING: Shock hazard! Use insulated tools, especially when
working on live systems.
CAUTION: Do not connect batteries until system turn-up. It is strongly
recommended that inline circuit breakers or fuses be used with bulk/battery
connections.
Batteries should be connected after making AC connections and activating
rectifiers. The system must be powered to check polarity on the battery bus.
Then, power off the system to connect batteries.
To make cable connections:
1. After successful system turn-up, remove the screws holding the rear
cover in place.
2. Make connections using two-hole, 3/8-16 lugs on 1 centers.
Fastening hardware is provided.
3. Torque connections from 15 to 23 ft.-lbs.
