AC Protection Box Enphase Single-phase GAVE ACM-E1C 20A 30mA

Product description

The Enphase Single-Phase AC Protection Box GAVE ACM-E1C 20A 30mA is a modular panel designed to integrate, in a single point, the protections, isolation, and measurement of Enphase IQ systems at 230 V. It optimizes installation time, ensures regulatory compliance, and comes pre-installed for Q-Relay, IQ Gateway/Envoy, and current transformers (CT), providing a clean and professional design with Class II and IK08 enclosure.

Main features

• Single-phase configuration for 1 AC PV circuit with capacity up to 20 A (≈ 4.6 kVA at 230 V).
• MCB curve C 2P 20 A with 6 kA breaking capacity (EN 60898-1).
• Type A RCD 30 mA 2P, immune to unwanted tripping (EN 61008-1).
• Type II SPD overvoltage protection (In 20 kA, Imax 40 kA, Up 1.5 kV) for grid interface protection.
• Prepared for Enphase ecosystem: Q-Relay 1F, IQ Gateway/Envoy (Metered), and production/consumption CTs.
• Polycarbonate enclosure with double insulation Class II and IK08 for high mechanical resistance.

Advantages or benefits

• Faster and tidier installation by concentrating protections, measurement, and communications in a single panel.
• Enhanced electrical safety with 30 mA RCD and Type II SPD, reducing risks from indirect contact and overvoltages.
• Ready for export limitation and advanced monitoring via IQ Gateway/Envoy with bidirectional CTs.
• Facilitates compliance with grid connection regulations and distributor requirements (disconnection via Q-Relay).
• Simple maintenance: front access to protections and terminals, clear labeling, and streamlined internal wiring.

Purpose or applications

Ideal for residential self-consumption and small single-phase commercial applications with Enphase IQ microinverters (IQ7/IQ8 series), both with feed-in and with export limitation. Also suitable for setups with AC-coupled batteries (e.g., Enphase IQ Battery 5P), where it serves as a protection and measurement point on the AC side.

Technical specifications

Compatibilities

Compatible with the Enphase IQ single-phase ecosystem: IQ7/IQ8 (EU/INT) microinverters, IQ Gateway/Envoy with metering, Q-Relay 1F, and Enphase production and consumption current transformers. Also integrable in systems with Enphase IQ Battery 5P (AC coupling).

Enphase AC Protection Box Single-Phase GAVE ACM-E1C 20A 30mA is the professional solution for centralizing protections, metering, and communications in Enphase installations, increasing safety, organization, and efficiency from day one.
