Good points. Enphase may allow us to disconnect their DC connectors
under load, but each of their connectors mates with a connector installed
at the PV factory. The module makers usually say don't disconnect
under load. So the inverter and the PV listings both need to allow
disconnecting.<br><br>

The manual now clearly states that the ac and dc connectors have been
evaluated and approved for use as the required ac load break
disconnect. Yet in other locations the manual still says
"Never disconnect the DC wire connectors under load" and
"The AC connector of the first microinverter in a branch circuit is
suitable as a disconnecting means once the AC branch circuit breaker in
the load center has been opened."<br><br>
Sorry, but that's just not a clear a set of instructions yet. Can
we open these connectors under load or are we never supposed to open them
under load?<br><br>
