When the controller operates under “Condition 3”or“Condition 4”,it will carry out the charging as per the rated current or power. WARNING: When the power of PV module is greater than the rated charging power, and the maximum open-circuit voltage of PV array is more than 60V(XTRA**06N)/100V(XTRA**10N)/150V(XTRA**15N) lowest environmental temperature), the controller may be damaged.
2.3 Wire Size The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local electrical code requirements. PV Wire Size Since PV array output can vary due to the PV module size, connection method or * sunlight angle, the minimum wire size can be calculated by the Isc of PV array.
XTRA4210N XTRA4215N 16mm /6AWG 16mm /6AWG XTRA4415N CAUTION: The wire size is only for reference. If there is a long distance between the PV array and the controller or between the controller and the battery, larger wires can be used to reduce the voltage drop and improve performance.

grounded. However, according to the practical application, all the negative terminals of PV array, battery and load can also be ungrounded, but the grounding terminal on its shell must be grounded, which may effectively shield the electromagnetic interference from the outside, and prevent some electric shock to human body due to the electrification of the shell.
