The SB3800U is designed to automatically detect which grid voltage it is feeding if a
neutral is connected to the inverter. Depending upon the voltage and phase angle
between L1-N and L2-N, the inverter will determine if it is connected to a 208 V or 240
V grid. Table 5-1 lists the voltage and frequency limits for the AC connection.
Table 5-1 Voltage and Frequency Limits for the AC Connection
Voltage Range for 208 V nominal, line to line 183 V - 229 V
Voltage Range for 240 V nominal, line to line 211 V - 264 V
Frequency Range 59.3 Hz - 60.5 Hz
