2.3 Safety Precautions
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric shock
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates a dangerous DC voltage which is
present in the DC conductors or the live components in the inverter.
• Do not touch the DC conductors.
• Do not touch live components in the inverter.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, always disconnect it from any voltage
sources as described in this document (see Section 8.2 "Disconnecting the Inverter
from Voltage Sources" (page 57)).
DANGER!
Risk of burns due to electric arc
To prevent arcing when disconnecting cables in the PV array, the ESS and DC connectors
must be removed from the inverter, or the external DC switch-disconnector must be
switched off and the DC connectors must be removed from the inverter before performing
any work on the PV array.
• Before starting work on the PV array, always disconnect the inverter on the AC and
DC sides (see Section 8.2 "Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources"
(page 57)).
• Attach the enclosed warning label "Risk of burns from electric arc" so that it is clearly
visible on the external AC disconnection device.
