2.2 Safety Precautions
This section contains safety precautions that must be observed at all times when working on or with
the product. To prevent personal injury or property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the
product, read this section carefully and follow the safety precautions at all times.
Danger to life due to electric shock when opening the inverter
High voltages are present in the live components of the inverter. Touching live components results
in death or serious injury.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, always disconnect the inverter from all voltage
sources on the AC and DC sides (see inverter installation manual). Observe the waiting time
to allow the capacitors to discharge.
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
Some parts of the inverter enclosure can get hot during operation. Touching these enclosure parts
can result in burn injuries.
• Do not touch any parts other than the lower enclosure lid of the inverter during operation.
Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge
The internal components of the inverter can be irreparably damaged by electrostatic discharge.
• Earth yourself before touching any inverter component.
