5.1 Storing the Grid Connect Box
• Store the Grid Connect Box in a dry place with an ambient temperature range between − 25°C and +60°C.
5.2 Requirements for Mounting
Mounting location
☐ A firm, even support surface, e.g., a concrete foundation, must be available for mounting.
☐ The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Grid Connect Box (see Section 12
"Technical Data", page 32).
☐ The mounting location must be clear and safely accessible at all times without the need for any auxiliary equipment.
☐ The mounting location must not hinder access to disconnection devices.
☐ All local requirements concerning minimum passage widths and escape routes must be observed.
☐ Climatic conditions must be met (see Section 12 "Technical Data", page 32).
☐ The mounting location must be below 3,000 m above MSL. If you wish to use the Grid Connect Box at elevations
above 3,000 m, contact the SMA Service Line (see Section 13, page 35).
Minimum clearances
Figure 5: Minimum clearances
☐ There must be sufficient space at the mounting location to ensure compliance with the minimum clearances.
☐ There must be a distance of at least 300 mm between the Multicluster Box and the Grid Connect Box. This will
ensure adequate heat dissipation.
