Additional grounding:
Safety in accordance with IEC 62109
The inverter is not equipped with a grounding conductor monitoring device. In order to
guarantee safety in accordance with IEC 62109, you must take one of the following
measures:
• Connect a grounding conductor made of copper wire with a cross-section of at least
10 mm² to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable.
• Connect additional grounding with the same cross-section as the connected grounding
conductor to the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable (see Section 6.3.3
"Connecting Additional Grounding", page 28). This prevents touch current if the
grounding conductor at the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable fails.
Connection of additional grounding
In some countries, additional grounding is generally required. In each case, observe the
locally applicable regulations.
• If additional grounding is required, connect an additional grounding that has at least the
same cross-section as the connected grounding conductor to the connecting terminal
plate for the AC cable (see Section 6.3.3, page 28). This prevents touch current if the
grounding conductor at the connecting terminal plate for the AC cable fails.
6.3.2 Connecting the Inverter to the Utility Grid
Requirements:
☐ The connection requirements of the grid operator must be met.
☐ The grid voltage must be in the permissible range. The exact operating range of the inverter is
specified in the operating parameters.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect the circuit breaker from all three line conductors and secure against reconnection.
2. If the lower enclosure lid is mounted, loosen all screws of the lower enclosure lid using an
Allen key (AF 3) and lift the enclosure lid from below and remove it.
3. Remove the adhesive tape from the enclosure opening for the AC cable.
