2 Safety
To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product,
read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
Danger to life due to high voltages of the PV array
When exposed to light, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage, which is present in the
DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks. If you disconnect the DC connectors from the
inverter under load, an electric arc may occur leading to electric shock and burns.
• Do not touch non-insulated cable ends.
• Do not touch the DC conductors.
• Do not touch any live components of the inverter.
• Have the inverter mounted, installed and commissioned only by qualified persons with the
appropriate skills.
• If an error occurs, have it rectified by qualified persons only.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as
described in this document.
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter
Touching live components within the inverter can lead to lethal electric shocks. Some components
also require at least five minutes to discharge after the inverter has been disconnected from
voltage sources.
• Do not open the inverter.
Danger to life due to electric shock from touching an ungrounded PV module
or array frame
Touching ungrounded PV modules or array frames results in death or lethal injuries due to electric
shock.
• Connect and ground the frame of the PV modules, the array frame and the electrically
conductive surfaces so that there is continuous conduction. Observe the applicable local
regulations.
