Giv-Gateway Connection Guide

All in One Installation with Giv-Gateway

 

Extra care and attention must be taken when installing and maintaining any GivEnergy equipment. The system is capable of retaining a high voltage, even when disconnected.

All electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified and registered Electrician and in accordance with the IEE Wiring Regulations.

The system is designed to be connected to the grid; connecting your inverter to a generator or other power source can result in damage to the inverter or external devices.

All GivEnergy equipment must be installed by a GivEnergy Approved Installer.

All in One Connections Overview

 

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

 

All In One AC Utility Grid Connection

Cable size requirements for the WAGO connectors for the All in One are 6mm² minimum.

 

The above diagram shows how the WAGO connector should be configured. Both side and rear cable entry points are provided. If using rear entry point please ensure the cable is installed prior to fitting the All in One.

The AC supply cable should enter through one of the waterproof glands and pass through the cable entry chamber and connect into the AC supply terminal block. The supply cable should be at least 6mm². Strip the outer insulation to 8mm in length of copper and connect them to the terminal block.

The recommended maximum cable length should not exceed 50m. If there are extra wiring configurations required, please ensure they are waterproof and follow good practice.

Giv-Gateway Connection Overview

 

The connection ports for the Giv-Gateway are labelled below.

 

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

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 for wire 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 Communication Connections

The orientation of the switches for WiFi, LAN and USB (Dongle) Modes for the Giv-Gateway can be found below.

 

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.

Giv-Gateway & All in One AC Wiring

Please note: Remove bottom connections cover prior to wiring, and then replace once complete.

 

Connect the wire from the Breaker A of the Giv-Gateway to the AC Supply of the All-in-One.

Giv-Gateway & All in One Communication Wiring

Please note: Remove bottom connections cover prior to wiring, and then replace once complete.

To install a single All in One, connect a communication wire to the socket D in the wiring compartment of the All in One.

 

Please note: 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 suffice here wired to T-568B standard if doing locally.

 

Example Default Wiring Connection

Please note: An earthing rod must be installed.
