For 14-6 AWG [1.5 - 16mm² ] Solid & Stranded Copper Conductor
NOTES:
The lug should be installed so that surface contact is maintained for a minimum distance of 0.75 in [19mm] from the edge near the •
mounting screw. This corresponds to a minimum surface contact area of 0.44 in ² [284mm ² ]
If available, install the lug at the pre-drilled hole provided on the PV module or framing system. The hole will be identified by a marked •
"G", "GR", "GROUND", "GROUNDING", or the like.
If no hole is provided, or if the provided hole is not to the recommended diameter, one may be drilled for installation. The hole shall be
•
drilled using a depth restrictor to help prevent damage to the PV modules. A depth restrictor is not required when drilling on the side of
the module, provided the drill path is clear of objects that could be damaged upon penetration of the metal.
After drilling, use an appropiate tool to remove all burrs before installing the lug.
•
For no hardware version, use #8 or #10 screw. •
EL6CS, EL6CSDB, EL6CS8 and EL6CSDB8 are UL® Listed to UL2703 for use with 125A maximum overcurrent protection. •
