Enphase Inverters wired in Series


Main lines are pulled to the J-box and connected to the Enphase wires.  Enphase provides L1,L2, L3, and Equipment Ground Electrode, but we used a L1 and L2 for the main house.  The Copper #6 was crimped to the EGC, and the red, black and white were wired to color cordinated wires from the disconnect below. The white wire is the equipment ground conductor and the orange was contained using a wire nut. 

Wire nuts are very important, but must be done correctly in insure proper connection without loss.  Use your electrical wire plies and as your squeezing them together pull away.  This will allow the smaller #14 to wrap around the #10 and create a needle nose like connection.  This technique will provide a secure bond inside the nut.
