Installation Sop Checklist - EcoFlow Smart Home Panel Manual De Instalación

5. Installation SOP Checklist

No.
Before installation- Project information
Determine the installation location. The Smart Home Panel is rated to IP20,
1
therefore, it needs to be installed away from direct sunlight, rain, snow and
moisture.
2
Determine the distance between the SHP and main electrical panel.
Determine if there is a split-phase or double pole load (240V/200V or
MWBC, USA and Japan only) that needs to be connected to the SHP. Channel
3
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 AC input should be connected on the same phase (phase a),
whereas Channel 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 AC input should be connected on the opposite
phase (phase b) when using the split-phase function. Mismatched phases will
result in an error condition and SHP will not function properly.
4
Confirm the number of loads to be connected to SHP. You can connect up to
10 single pole load circuits, or up to 5 double pole load circuits.
Determine whether the upstream circuit breakers of the selected loads
5
require AFCI or GFCI protection. This can be accomplished with an on-site
inspection or photo or video of the panel from the end user.
Determine and gather required materials. SHP can support up to 1 1/2 "
conduit via five knockouts. Ensure that necessary adjustment factors (for
number of conductors) are accounted for and that wire ampacity is sized
appropriately. For longer runs it is recommended that you use separate
6
conduits for the input and output wires. USA ONLY - For AFCI and GFCI
breakers, an additional standard overcurrent trip breaker is required. For
circuits where AFCI protection is required, metal conduit or whip to the
SHP from the main panel is required to comply with NEC requirements. An
external AFCI enclosure (available from EcoFlow) to house AFCI breakers is
also required downstream of the SHP.
During installation - Circuit breaker and relay module
1
The current rating of relay module must match the upstream circuit breaker.
Failure to do so may cause overcurrent protection to fail.
2
The ampacity rating of wiring used should match the circuit current. Using an
undersized cable may cause overheating and even a fire.
3
All upstream breakers should be non-GFCI/AFCI. Any AFCI/GFCI breakers
need to be moved downstream of the SHP using an optional accessory box.
