This page is the hub for a Kent G3 installation: order of work, box contents, handling, and the wiring overview before the detailed pages.
For trained/authorized installers only. Complete Safety First and Isolation & Shutdown before any work.

​
Order of work

  1. Confirm the site per Choosing the Location and the G3 limits (altitude ≤ 4000 m, clearances, airflow).
  2. Mount the unit.
  3. Earth it — grounding before any other wiring.
  4. PV wiring → Battery wiring → AC wiring → CT & meter → Comms & parallel → GEN & smart port if used.
  5. Run Kent G3 Commissioning, then the G3 Commissioning Checklist.

What ships in the box

Kent G3 packaging contents including CT kit — figure KNB-G3-CR-02

1× inverter · 1× back plate · 2× fastening screws · 4× expansion bolts · DC connectors (3 or 4, per string count) · 1× parallel cable · 1× meter cable · 1× three-phase meter · 3× CT · 6× RJ45 connectors · 1× datalogger stick · 1× Bluetooth antenna · quick installation guide.
Which metering kit you have matters. The CT scheme ships a 100 A/50 mA CT set; the meter scheme ships the three-phase meter plus 120 A/40 mA CTs; more than 3 units in parallel takes a separate 300 A/5 A kit. Check the kit against the order before leaving the warehouse — details and ratios on CT & Meter. [KNB-VAL-08]

​
Handling

Two people, using the carton cutouts and the heat-sink handles; set the unit down slowly. The unit weighs up to 42 kg.

​
Wiring overview

Conductor sizes and breaker (OCPD) ratings are determined by local electrical standards on top of the platform figures given on each wiring page. The backup loads panel must not be electrically connected to the main service panel.

​
Common mistakes

  • Leaving with the wrong metering kit for the order type — verified only at the site.
  • One-person lifts — this is a 42 kg wall unit.
  • Tying the backup subpanel to the main panel “temporarily”.
