QUICK INSTALL GUIDEModel number: EP200G101-M240US00Install the EnphaseEnpower Smart Switch
To install the Enphase Enpower™ smart switch and the Enphase Empower wall-mount bracket, read and follow all warnings and instructions in this guide and in the Enphase Empower Installation and Operation Manual at enphase.com/support. Safety warnings are listed on the back of this guide. These instructions are not meant to be a complete explanation of how to design and install an energy storage system. All installations must comply with national and local electrical codes and standards. Only qualified electricians shall install, troubleshoot, or replace the Enpower.The Enphase Ensemble System includes the Enphase Enpower™ smart switch with Microgrid Interconnection Device (MID) capability, which consolidates interconnection equipment into a single enclosure and streamlines grid-independent capabilities of PV and storage installations by providing a consistent, pre-wired solution for residential applications. Along with MID functions, it includes PV, storage, and generator input circuits.For installing Enpower with 3rd party PV inverter please refer to the planning guide document on Enphase Energy Storage System for third party PV inverters online on Enphase website.NOTE: The same installation scenarios also apply to systems with legacy M-series microinverters and Envoy-S Metered as the communications gateway.Scenario 1:Whole home backup with Enpower as service entrance and PV combiner connected to Enpower. This is the preferred configuration for back up of the entire mainload panel. This configuration supports up to an 60A breaker for the PV circuit and an 60A breaker for battery storage.
Scenario 2:Whole-home backup with Enpower as service entrance and PV combiner connected to main load panel. This is the preferred configuration when you back up the entire main load panel, and the size of the PV combiner circuit is more than 60A. In this configuration, the PV combiner circuit connection space in Enpower is left vacant. When existing PV combiner circuits are connected to the main load panel, and you want to add battery storage to the system, you can keep the PV combiner connected to the main load panel and connect only the battery storage system to Enpower.
Scenario 3:Partial home backup with main load panel as service entrance and PV combiner connected to Enpower. When PV circuits breaker size is less than 60A, this is the preferred configuration for partial home backup with subpanel.
Scenario 4:Partial home backup with main load panel as service entrance and PV combiner connected to subpanel. This is the preferred connection configuration for partial some ackup using a subpanel when the PV circuit breaker size is more than 60A. The space available in Enpower for combiner (solar) connection is left vacant.
PREPARATION
A ) Inspect the packaging and the Enpower for damage. Do not install or use the Enpower if it has been damaged in any way.B ) Ensure that you have the following:
- One Enphase Enpower smart switch. The Enpower shipping box contains an Enphase Enpower, mounting bracket, mounting hardware, and literature kit (bag with labels and accessories: 150-00148). Among the accessories are four-pin receptacles/dry contacts that will be used for controlling external power relays.
- Enphase Encharge™ storage system, which is required for off-grid applications.

I ) Install each breaker by rocking it to the left, catching the clips that hold it in place. Then rock the breaker to the right so it is fully seated and secure.J) The generator breaker position can be used for the below purposes if the generator is unused:1. Power the control transformer to enable the auxiliary contact load/ PV shedding feature2. Connect the subpanel backup load breaker for <100A load subpanel.You can connect the main breaker of the subpanel to this position, since the load side lugs in Empower do not support <100A breaker or <1AWG wires.Ensure you stick the “BACKUP LOADS” label from the load control kit, on top of the “GENERATOR” embossing, on the Enpower dead front.K ) For the main load breaker, use an appropriately sized CSR Eaton breaker. Install at the location indicated in the diagram on the door of the unit.L ) Remove the mains/load lugs by unscrewing the two nuts holding the lugs. Re-use the same nuts to fix the CSR breakers in the same position. Torque to 4 N•m (35.4 lb•in).M ) Use the 8-32 screw (from the lit kit marked 150-00148 that ships with the Enpower) to secure the mains breaker (not the load breaker). Use a T20 drive to tighten the 8-32 screw to 1.5 N•m (13.3 lb•in). Do not use any other screw.
N ) Check that all breakers are properly seated.O ) Use the included stowed conductors, as labeled, to wire the circuit breaker(s) for the Encharge batteries, Enphase Combiner, and generator, as needed. The stowed conductors are provided with crimped-on ferrules with end caps to prevent accidental contact. Remove the conductor end caps as needed.P ) Torque the breaker connections as listed in the following and in the conductor table on the unit.Q ) Purchase and install an Eaton type BR circuit breaker hold-down screw kit (SKU: EP200G-NA-HD-200A) to secure only the Encharge and generator double-pole circuit breaker(s).

The Enphase Storage System supports 2 PCS use cases:
- Import Only mode for Energy Storage System (ESS): Enphase Storage System can import power from the Area Electric Power System (EPS) for charging purposes but does not export active power from the ESS to the Area EPS. The ESS mode of Import Only applies irrespective of the configured battery smart profile, i.e., Self-Consumption, Full Backup, or Savings (Time of Use) with optimization. The ESS Import Only mode applies irrespective of whether the solar micro inverters are IQ6/IQ7 or M215/M250.
- Main Panel Upgrade (MPU) avoidance: In the partial home backup scenario, the PCS limits the currents backed into the main panel as allowed by 2020 NEC article 705.13. This ensures that the main panel complies with the NEC article 705.12.
NOTE: This use case is only supported with IQ Envoy and IQ6/7 series inverters.This mode is applicable when the system is configured as in Scenario 3 as described on page 1 of this QIG.The National Electric Code(NEC) 2017 NEC 705.12(B)(2)(3)(b) allows back feed of current from solar/storage into the main panel subject to the following limitBackfeed allowed <= ((120% of busbar rating) – Ampacity of the overcurrent protection device protecting the busbar )/ 125%Enphase, through its Installer Toolkit mobile app, also provides grid profiles that comply with PEL limits for various jurisdictions. In a situation where both the PCS limit and a PEL profile are being used, the maximum current backed from the Enpower to the main panel is always the lower of the PEL limit and the PCS limit.NOTE: Import Only Mode for Energy Storage System is fixed in software and cannot be changed in the field.Configuring PCS In the Enphase Storage SystemA ) Check that you have the following items. You must use the listed CTs and Enphase IQ Envoy or the Envoy-S Metered with the Enpower and Encharge for Power Control System functionality.
- Two current transformers (CT-200-SPLIT) for consumption/PCS monitoring
- One current transformer (CT-200-SOLID) for production metering (included with Envoy)
- IQ Envoy (ENV-IQ-AM1-240) or Envoy-S Metered (ENV-S-AM1-120):The IQ Envoy can be standalone or integrated in an IQ Combiner box.
B ) Follow all instructions in the IQ Envoy or IQ Combiner Quick Install Guide to ensure that CTs are installed and wired correctly with the correct polarity. Refer to the following diagram for the locations and polarity (arrow on top of CT) on the CTs.For the whole-home backup configuration, the CTs should be placed in the same location (Production CT in combiner; PCS CT in Enpower) as shown in the diagram PCS CT installation within Enpower.C ) When being used for PCS, you must install the CT-200-SPLIT current transformers inside the Enpower on the conductors above the MID relay.The arrows on the Consumption/PCS CT must point towards the loads, towards the busbar inside the Enpower, or upwards when the CTs are installed above the MID relay. Refer to the image on the next page for the Consumption/PCS CT location and wiring to the IQ Envoy.D ) You must protect all PCS-controlled busbars and/or conductors with suitably rated overcurrent devices that are appropriately sized for the busbar rating or conductor ampacity. A similar setup is required for a system with M215 or M250 microinverters and an Envoy S metered. Refer to the Envoy S metered or IQ Envoy/IQ Combiner QIG to see wiring details for CTs.E) You must indicate, with a label, the maximum current setting for back-feed from Enpower that is controlled by PCS. Apply a label on the Enpower dead front indicating the maximum current setting for back-feed from Enpower that is controlled by PCS. An example of the required label is shown as follows.Record the maximum operating amps value on the label.For more details, refer to the Technical Briefhttps://support.enphase.com/s/article/Technical-Brief-PCS-Integration-in-Enphase-Storage-System
THE MAXIMUM CURRENT BACKED BY THIS SYSTEM TO THE MAIN PANEL MAY BE CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY. REFER TO THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR MORE INFORMATIONPCS CONTROLLED CURRENT SETTING: ___________ AMPS
F ) For Production as well as Consumption/PCS CTs, you must apply the following label to each CT when the system is configured to use PCS-based current limiting.This sensor is part of a Power Control System. Do not remove or disable. Replace with same type and rating.The available space on the CTs for labeling is as follows.Consumption/PCS CT (CT-200-SPLIT):
- Left side: 20mm(vertical) x 14mm(Horizontal)
- Back side: 20mm (vertical) x 20mm(Horizontal)
Production CT (CT-200-SOLID):
- 9mm(vertical) x 30mm(horizontal)
NOTE: The maximum operating currents in controlled busbars or conductors are limited by the settings of the Power Control System (PCS) and may be lower than the sum of the currents of the connected controlled power sources. The settings of the PCS controlled currents may be used for the calculation of the design currents used in the relevantsections of NEC Article 690 and 705.
- Select Backup Type
- PCS Export Limiting
As the MPU avoidance configuration can only be enabled in the partial home backup mode, the installer has to first select the ‘Partial Home Backup’ configuration under ‘Select Backup Type’.Then, in the ‘PCS Export Limiting’ section, the installer is required to enter the type of micro-inverters (IQ7, IQ6) & the number of micro-inverters of each type. Along with this, the installer adds information on the rating of the main load panel busbar, the main service breaker rating & can also set the PCS Controlled Export Current Limit. If thisvalue is not set, the system auto-calculates the export current limit based on the 2017 NEC.
7. Auxiliary Contact ConnectionsEnpower has three I/O ports. I/O-1 has two normally open auxiliary contacts (NO1, NO2) and I/O-2 has two normally close auxiliary contacts (NC1, NC2) for load and excess PV control; each auxiliary contact has two terminals.Gen-I/O has one normally open auxiliary contact (NO3) for generator control, and this contact has three terminals. All the auxiliary contact relays are rated for pilot duty at 24Vac/Vdc (nominal) and 1 Amp.A. Auxiliary Contact connections for shedding excess PV and loadFor making the connections you would need the following components: a definite purpose contactor, control transformer, and fuse.For recommendations please refer to the tech briefhttps://support.enphase.com/s/article/Load-and-Solar-Circuit-Control-using-Enpower-Auxiliary-ContactsSteps for connecting auxiliary contact for shedding excess PV or load:
- Use wires sized per local code requirements taking into consideration the voltage drop/rise and upstream breaker or fuse.
- Connect one of the primaries of the control transformer to the 120V breaker, and the other wire to the neutral bus in the backup load panel via an OCPD such as an inline fuse.
- Connect one wire of the secondary of the control transformer to one of the terminals of either NO/NC auxiliary contact from I/O-1 or I/O-2 on Enpower.
- Connect the other terminal of the auxiliary contact to the 24Vac coil terminal (usually named A1) of the definite purpose contactor.
- Connect the other terminal of the contactor coil (usually named A2) to the other wire of the secondary of the control transformer.
- For shedding excess load:a. Connect the L1 (and L2 if 240V) terminal of the definite purpose contactor to the backup load panel protected by a breaker.b. Connect the T1 (and T2 if 240V) terminal of the contactor to the excess load circuit that needs to be shed.
- For shedding excess PV:a. Connect the L1 and L2 terminals of the definite purpose contactor to the OCPD (e.g., the breaker in the AC combiner) protecting the inverter output circuit of the excess PV to be shed.b. Connect the T1 and T2 terminals of the definite purpose contactor to the inverter output circuit of excess PV that needs to be shed.
Line diagram for auxiliary contact connections used for shedding excess load and PV.Line diagram for auxiliary contact connections image shows NO1 is used to shed excess loads and NO2 is used to shed excess PV. See our technical brief, Load and Solar Circuit Control using Enpower Auxiliary Contacts (https://support.enphase.com/s/article/Load-and-Solar-Circuit-Control-using-Enpower-Auxiliary-Contacts),for detailed linediagram and other details.B. Securing Auxiliary Contact to EnpowerEnsure you have the feed-through headers that are shipped with the Enpower as part of the lit kit.Follow the below steps to secure the headers to Enpower, as shown in Feed through headers for I/0-1 and I/0-2 image.
- Insert the wires from the transformer controller and the external contactor into the feedthrough header.NOTE: Supports AWG 28 to AWG 16 wire sizes
- Tighten the screws on the top (torque 0.22Nm to 0.25Nm) to secure the wires.
- Insert the feedthrough header into the I/0-1 or I/0-2 ports on Enpower.
- Tighten the screws on the side to secure the feedthrough header to the I/0-1 or I/0-2 ports on Enpower.
Follow the same procedure for Generator dry contact connections (There are 3 terminals on the Gen-I/0 port as shown in the Feed through header for generator I/O image. Use the first and third terminals for wiring.)

8. Generator ConnectionsA generator can be integrated with the Enphase Storage system without the need for any external ATS. It supports both manual and auto-start generators.NOTE: This system is only compatible with permanently installed generators that are non-separately derived as per NEC 250.35(B).Steps for connecting a generator are listed below:A ) Wire the L1 and L2 AC wires from the generator into the generator lugs on the Enpower.B ) Ensure that the ground terminal of the generator is connected to the ground bar inside Enpower. Size the generator’s equipment grounding conductor as per NEC 250.122 nd generator manufacturer’s instructions.C ) Connect the neutral wire from generator to an appropriately sized position on the neutral bar inside Enpower.NOTE: Enpower does not switch the neutral and the ground from the generator. It only switches the feeders i.e., L1 and L2.Therefore, the generator needs to be configured as a non-separately derived system.D ) Buy and install an appropriately sized breaker for the generator on the Enpower’s busbar and connect the L1 and L2 generator cables from Enpower’s ATS board to thisbreaker.NOTE: The maximum allowed breaker size is 60A. Select an Eaton BR breaker model that has the hole for the additional fastener as per NEC 480.36(D). Available models: R220B, BR230B, BR240B, BR250B. Eaton breaker BR260 already has the hole.E ) Purchase and install a hold-down screw kit (SKU: EP200G-NA-HD-200A) to secure the Generator breaker.F ) Install a pair of generator CTs (CT-200-SPLIT) for L1 and L2 at the Enpower’s Generator input terminal for power monitoring when the generator is running. Detailed CT wiring is described in step 9.G ) Use Enphase Installer Toolkit mobile application to commission and program Enpower to control the generator.H ) For 2-wire autostart generators, wire the Generator I/O port in Enpower to the 2-wire remote start terminals of the generator. Refer to Step 7 for steps on how to secure the auxiliary contacts to Enpower. Follow local code requirements for wire sizing.I ) Autostart generators typically require a constant 120 Vac for the battery charger. This power can be drawn from the backup load’s panel protected by a breaker so that it is powered even during an outage.J ) For autostart generators, have a certified contractor install the gas line required to supply the unit.K ) Some utility-sense-based generators like the Generac Eco-Gen come with the capability to auto-start generators when the system goes off-grid by sensing the absence of the 240V utility power. For such utility-sense-based remote start generators, install the utility sensing generator start/stop control circuit. Wire the primary of a 120V/12V power supply to the backup load’s panel. Connect the secondary to the Generator auxiliary contact relay on the Enpower. Wire the other end of the relay to the coil of the NormallyClose contactor. Connect the contactor to 240V from the backup load’s panel for utility sense. Wire the other end of the contactor to the Generator through a fuse.For more details, refer to the Technical Brief https://support.enphase.com/s/article/Generator-with-Enphase-storage
