Danger to life from electric shock even if the inverter is disconnected on the AC and DC sides
The precharge unit of the order option "Q at Night" will carry live voltage even if the AC disconnection unit and the
DC switchgear are open. Touching live components results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Switch off the inverter.
• After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15 minutes before opening it to allow the capacitors to discharge
completely.
• Ensure that no voltage is present.
• Do not remove protective covers.
• Observe the warning messages.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
Danger to life from electric shock when entering the PV field
Ground-fault monitoring does not provide protection from personal injury. PV modules which are grounded with
ground-fault monitoring discharge voltage to ground. Entering the PV field can result in lethal electric shocks.
• Ensure that the insulation resistance of the PV field exceeds the minimum value. The minimum value of the
insulation resistance is: 1 kΩ.
• Before entering the PV field, switch the PV modules to insulated operation.
• Configure the PV power plant as a closed electrical operating area.
Danger to life from electric shock if the product is not locked
If the product is not locked, unauthorized persons will have access to live components carrying lethal voltages.
Touching live components can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Always close and lock the product.
• Remove the keys.
• Store the keys in a safe place.
• Ensure that no unauthorized persons have access to the closed electrical operating area.
Danger to life due to blocked escape routes
In hazardous situations, blocked escape routes can lead to death or serious injury. Opening the doors of two
products located opposite each other can block the escape route. It is imperative that the escape route is freely
accessible at all times.
• An escape route must be available at all times. Make sure the minimum passage width of the escape route
meets local standards.
• Do not place any objects in the escape route area.
• Remove all tripping hazards from escape routes.
