2 Safety
DANGER
Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and leads of the inverter even after the inverter has
been switched off and disconnected.
Severe injuries or death if the leads and/or terminals in the inverter are touched.
Only authorised electricians who are approved by the supply grid operator may open, install and maintain
the inverter.
›
Keep the inverter closed when the unit is in operation.
›
Do not touch the leads and/or terminals when switching the unit on and off .
›
Do not make any modifi cations to the inverter.
The electrician is responsible for observing all existing standards and regulations.
•
Keep unauthorized persons away from the inverter and PV system.
•
Be sure to observe IEC 60364-7-712:2002 (“Requirements for special installations or locations – solar photovoltaic (PV)
power supply systems”) in particular.
•
Ensure operational safety by providing proper grounding, conductor dimensioning and appropriate protection against
short circuiting.
•
Observe the safety instructions on the inverter and in these operating instructions.
•
Switch off all voltage sources and secure them against being inadvertently switched back on before performing visual
inspections and maintenance.
•
When taking measurements while the inverter is live:
–
Do not touch the electrical connections.
–
Remove all jewellery from your wrists and fi ngers.
–
Ensure that the testing equipment is in safe operating condition.
•
Stand on an insulated surface when working on the inverter while it is switched on.
•
Modifi cations to the surroundings of the inverter must comply with the applicable national and local standards.
•
When working on the PV array, it is also necessary to switch off the DC voltage with the DC disconnector in addition to
disconnecting the PV array from the grid.
2.1 Intended
use
