3.2 Maintenance Intervals
Logging damage
Any damage found during maintenance must be logged and reported to
SMA Solar Technology AG (see Section 7 "Contact", page 23).
Shorter maintenance intervals
The maintenance intervals can be shorter depending on local conditions. Reasons for shorter
maintenance intervals include:
• High stress through pollution, e. g. when installed in agricultural businesses
• Vibrations, e.g. when placed in the vicinity of a railway line
• High, low or strongly fluctuating ambient temperatures, e.g. in desert locations
• High humidity
Determining components
The Transformer Compact Station can contain components from different manufacturers for
which the maintenance activities and the maintenance intervals differ. Prior to any maintenance
work, check which components have been used.
The following table lists the components of various manufacturers, their maintenance intervals,
and the maintenance activities to be carried out.
