Some manufacturers of solar modules stipulate that the module must be grounded. The
module can be grounded at either the positive or negative pole.
The ‘Grounding Kit Fronius IG’ installation set allows simple module grounding in the DC
junction boxes 15 - 30 or 40 / 60 using an ground fuse.
As a rule, all the installation procedures described below can be performed in every type
of generator terminal box. In these installation instructions, the installation of the ‘Groun-
ding Kit Fronius IG’ is described in detail for the DC junction box 15 - 30 and the DC
junction box 40 / 60.
