Kirpal,
I believe that the IO101 is only designed to accept 120VAC, not 240. The supplied AC pigtail is 15A 120V, and it uses a contactor, which would be a specific voltage only. Unless I'm mistaken, you don't want to supply 220 (240) VAC.

I don't have answers for your other questions.

Hi all....so I have a pumping project using a grundfos SQ Flex pump....It will operate on the grid when grid is present and then switch back to solar ready if the grid power should fail.....here is the set up...
5-Sanyo HIT 220's Vmp non temp adjusted is 213VDC
Pump is SQFlex 16 SQF-10 will have CU 200 controller and IO101 AC input box....

System has a pressure tank and pressure switch which will be used instead of float switch as there is no storage tank at or above ground level....
This system is a retrofit project to an existing well pumping system......
Here is my questions:
1. Pump and CU 200 controller are rated for upto 300VDC but IO 101 Controller is only rated for 225VDC.....is that open circuit or max power on the modules....
2. The Grundfos wiring diagrams only show 2 wires and a ground leaving the IO101 going to the CU200.....What is happening when there is 240VAC supplying the system and what happens when it switches back to DC how is the power transmitted on those wires?  What happens to the second leg of the 240VAC generator/grid input?
3. Has anyone done one of these Grundos SQFlex back up water pumping systems connected to a pressure tank and did it operate as expected?
Grundfos does not offer tech support.......that is kind of a bummer....
Thanks for any advice or help....
