Backup Power with Smart Energy Management - System Configurations
7
The following diagram illustrates the connection of the system components when using two batteries. In this case, an external
fused combiner box is needed. For enlarged segments of this diagram, refer to Appendix D – Detailed System Connection.

Notes
Note 1: StorEdge Inverter:
 SE7600A-USS0 supports double capacity
 SE7600A-USS2 supports double power and double capacity
- Replace the internal 12A fuses with 25A fuses for two batteries
Recommended Fuses in StorEdge Inverter:
 12A 600VDC Quick-Acting, 10 x 38 mm Solar Midget Fuses (Example: Littelfuse P/N 0SPF012)
 25A 600VDC Quick-Acting, 10 x 38 mm Solar Midget Fuses (Example: Littelfuse P/N 0SPF025)
Note 2: External fused combiner box is needed to support two batteries.
Note 3: Auto-transformer connection:
 6ft max
 Vertical mounting only (conduit connection from the bottom)
 Use 10 AWG wire for grounding
Note 4: Battery connection:
 35ft max
 Distance larger than 5ft requires installation of external DC safety switch on the battery side
 Control [B-,A+] must be twisted pair
Note 5: Use a twin-wire ferrules to daisy chain the thermal wiring
Note 6: Install type B 2- pole 25A main circuit breaker to ensure the 25A phase limit imbalance is
maintained at all times.
