Giv-Gateway AC Utility Grid Connection

 

Breaker A - Single All in One connection

The power wires for All in One connection should be at least 6mm². Strip the wire insulation for 8mm wiring connection.

Breaker B - PV inverter connection

PV can be fed directly from this breaker. Please ensure that the overcurrent protection is adequate for the installation. If retro fitting the AIO + Gateway to a solar system, you can leave the existing PV feed in situ and just use a monitoring clamp to read the generation.

Breaker C - EV charger connection

The maximum load current is 32A, so the load wires should be at least 6mm². Strip the wire insulation for 8mm wiring connection.

Breaker D - Loads connection

The maximum load current is 80A, so the load wires should be at least 16mm². Strip the wire insulation for 8mm to connect to this load breaker.

Breaker E - Bypass MCB

The bypass switch redirects grid power directly to the house, bypassing the Giv-Gateway.

Breaker F - Grid connection

The maximum load current is 100A, so the load wires should be at least 16mm². Strip the wire insulation for 8mm to connect to this load breaker.

Giv-Gateway Wiring Connections

 

Earthing cable to earth rod (mandatory) - Please note: When using the earth terminal, this also earths the chassis and external metallic parts.

Type A RCD with 30mA tripping setting is already integrated in Giv-Gateway. For standalone version AIO, a Type A RCD with 30mA tripping current is recommended to be used.

All in One Neutral Continuity (Australia Only)

 

For Giv-Gateways installed in Australia, a busbar is supplied to link the neutrals between the grid supply side and the off-grid side. Please ensure that these are installed prior to energising the system.

Giv-Gateway Communication Connections

 

The connection ports for the Giv-Gateway are labelled above, alongside the different switch configurations for WiFi, LAN and USB (Dongle) Mode.

The meter tails between the meter position and the Giv-Gateway should not be longer than 3 metres. If the length is more than 3 metres, you should install an additional protective device at the nearest point to the supply inside the customer’s premises, as specified in the current IEE Wiring Regulations.

 

The communication cable must be terminated with a RJ45 plug at either end to connect the All in One to the Giv-Gateway. Ensure the wiring configuration into the RJ45 is the same both ends, a cross-over cable will not work. A standard Ethernet Cat5/6 cable will su]ce here, wired to T-568B standard if doing locally.
