1.3 Safety

The TS2-WSModules may produce voltage up to 110 Volts DC (VDC) or current up to 3.0 Amps when exposed to

sunlight. A single module could create a lethal shock hazard during hours of daylight, including periods of low

light levels. The danger increases as modules are connected together in series and/or parallel.

To avoid fire and/or injury due to ground fault and associated electrical hazards:

• Do not unplug PV module connecons while under load. Do not disconnect the module connectors

during daylight hours unless the module is in an open circuit condion or all modules in series and

parallel are covered with an opaque material, such as a tarp or blanket.

• Repair or replace damaged wires immediately. Keep all array wiring out of reach of non-qualied

personnel.

• Do not concentrate light on the module in an aempt to increase power output.

• Never allow the PV array system voltage to exceed 1500VDC under any condion.

• Replace broken modules immediately.

• Repair any ground faults immediately.

• Do not work on modules or systems when the modules or wiring are wet.

Reverse currents higher than the rated values for a Toledo Solar module (reverse current overload), may result

in module failure, including module breakage. Extreme and continuous reverse current overload conditions

may cause a fire or create electrical shock hazards. To avoid reverse current overload:

• Maintain equivalent voltage in parallel strings by installing an equal number of modules per string within

the same source circuit. Failure to install modules with balanced voltage in parallel strings can result in

voltage imbalance.

• Comply with all pracces as stated in this document and repair ground faults.

It is the responsibility of the PV system installer to ensure compliance with all local building codes. As a minimum

level of protection, all building mounted PV systems should utilize Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters and Arc Fault Circuit

Interrupters to minimize risk of electrcal shocks and fires.

Wear safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1-2003) and cut-resistant gloves when working on non-interconnected modules or

systems. Wear electrically rated PPE when working on interconnected modules or system components.

4.4 ElectricalInterconnection

Toledo SolarModulesarepre-configuredwithindustrystandardconnectors thatare“touchproof”withallliveparts

protectedagainstaccidental contactandprotected againstpolarityreversal.Thecables andMC4connectorsareUVand

weatherresistantfrom–40°Cto+85°C,andratedfor 1500VDCand22.5A(minimum,beforederatingforambient

temperature).The cablesand MC4-EVO2connectorsareUVandweatherresistantfrom–40°Cto+85°C, andrated for

1500VDCProtectionClassIIapplicationsand39A(ambienttemperature).

Modules with different TS Suite desginations (i.e. SS(LV) vs. WS(HV) have significantly different electrical

operating characteristics and should not be interconnected within the same inverter or MPPT to prevent power

output loss and voltage imbalance conditions that may create the risk of reverse current overload.

Damaged wires, connectors, or juncon boxes may cause ground faults, and associated electrical hazards,

including electrical shock. To avoid these condions:

•Protect unmated connectors from dust and moisture by using sealing caps (not provided, available from connector

manufacturer).

•Limit module connectors to 10 or fewer plug cycles.

•Do not pull lead wires tight at any time. After installation, the connected wire must not be under stress or

tension.

•Connector bodies and cables should not be tightly secured at both ends to any mounting structure to allow for

thermal expansion and contraction.

•Secure wire or connected components so that no loose wires or components are hanging within 1.5 feet (0.46m)

of the ground in free field applications, and so that wire/components are hanging clear of roof coverings or pooled

water in rooftop applications.

•Ensure connectors are fully mated.

•Ensure wire securement methods, such as use of cable ties, do not damage wire insulation. The minimum module

lead wire bend radius is 5 times wire diameter. Observe minimum bend radius specifications on all other PV

system wiring.

•Ensure wires are not in contact with sharp edges of the mounting structure to avoid abrading the wire sheath.

•Inspect and maintain wire management requirements over the life of the plant.

Componentsusedtointerconnectthemodulesmustbecompablewiththeconnectors,andprovidepropersystem

operaonandfaultproteconasrequiredbyanyapplicablecodes.Fieldwiringmustberatedfor90°C,andbeofatype

approvedforuseinaccordancewiththeNEC.
