Benefits of the Enphase Q-CONN-R-10M MALE CONNECTOR

AC wiring of an installation with microinverters it is played its reliability in the joints. A poorly executed splicing on deck can leave a full branch out of service. The Q-CONN-A-10M replaces that splice by a normalized connection, plug-in and watertight, which is the same in each work and is just as well done the one who executes it.

Designed to work as a couple with female connector

Enphase manufactures the field connector in two versions: the male Q-CONN-R-10M, to make cable connections single-phase, and the female Q-CONN-R-10F, to connect from any open connector of the Q cable. With both you can close any branch bond, from a splice between rows to an extension towards the box.

Tailored lengths with raw cable

With the Q-25-RAW-300 (300 m without connectors) Short exactly the length you need and ride the male connector at the end. So you adjust the layout to the real geometry of the cover, whether they are different skirts, separate rows or steps between the structure for solar panels and the connection box, without surplus rolls.

Certified external durability

The Q cable system holds the conditions of a cover throughout the useful life of the installation. Has IP67, , uV resistance in ISO 492-2, , 90 ° C of nominal temperature and flame test IEC 60332-1-2. Its isolation H07BQ-F it is designed for flexible cables exposed to the weather.

Less weight and less time on the roof

The q double insulation cable weigh the half as the previous generation. Added to the cable numbering and the plug and play connectors, reduce the manipulation effort and shortens the mounting times next to your solar panels.

How the Q-CONN-R-10M fits into an Enphase branch

Examples of usual use

• Extension towards the connection box: a raw cable section is mounted with the male connector to carry the branch to the pushing point.
• Union between two rows of modules: it is combined with a female connector to save the distance between rows without using q cable pre-connected with unnecessary connectors.
• Repair of a damaged section: the affected area is cut and reconnected with field connectors, without substituting the entire cable.
• Later extensions: allows you to incorporate new modules with microinverter to an existing branch, always within the branch limits.

Good installation practices

• Verify that all the branch is single-phase. For cable three-phase, the correct reference is Q-CONN-3P-10M.
• Close the cable connectors that remain free with q-SEAL-10 plugs and extremes without use with terminadores Q-TERM-R-10.
• Have at least one q-DISC-10 disconnect tool by installation, as recommended Enphase.
• Fix the wiring and the loops left over to the structure with clips Et-CLIP-100.
• Always respect the branch limits that indicates the documentation of your microinverter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between the Q-CONN-R-10M and the Q-CONN-R-10F?

Both are wiring connectors in field for Q cable single-phase. The Q-CONN-R-10M is the male version and Enphase indicates it for make connections using cable single-phase. The Q-CONN-R-10F is the female version and it serves for connect from any open connector of the Q cable. To join two sections of raw cable, the usual thing is to use one of each.

2. Is it useful for cable three-phase?

No. This reference is exclusive to Q cable single-phase two-wire. In three-phase installations you must use the Q-CONN-3P-10M and, to disconnect it, the tool Q-DISC 3P-10.

3. What tension and intensity supports?

The connector has a rating up to 250 V. The Q cable single-phase with which he works has a maximum nominal voltage of 250 Vac and one admissible intensity of 25 a.

4. Do I need special tools to install it?

The connector is designed to be wiring on deck quenched. To disconnect the cable connectors yes you need the tool Q-DISC-10, from which Enphase recommends having at least one per installation.

5. Is it resistant to the weather?

Yes. The Q cable system offers iP67 protection (IEC 60529), , uV resistance in ISO 492-2 and one nominal temperature of 90 ° C in wet and dry, so it is suitable for your permanent exposure on deck.

6. Can I combine my microinverters Enphase with others inverters in the same housing?

Yes, they are independent systems on the AC side, although it is advisable to review the protection and legalization of the whole with your installer. If you are looking for centralized equipment, consult our Inverters Networking or, to incorporate storage, our inverters hybrid.
