Installation
5.3.1
Prerequisites for the installation location
During installation, observe the following:
Weight
The Conergy IPG 4000 string inverter weighs 27 kg, the
Conergy IPG 5000 string inverter 28 kg.
The foundation for installation must be firm and capable of
bearing the weight permanently.
Temperature
During operation the cooling unit of the inverter can reach a
max. temperature of up to 90 °C.
The foundation for installation must be temperature-resistant.
IP 65
Inverters of the Conergy IPG string inverter series may be
installed both indoors and outdoors due to the IP 65
protection system. If installing outdoors, take care to ensure
that the string inverter is not exposed to wet weather or
direct solar irradiation without protection. For example, it
may be advantageous to install the inverter beneath a
canopy, in order to protect it from unnecessary heat and
wetness. If you have chosen an inverter with display, note
that direct sunlight may make reading more difficult.
Ambient temperature
Ideally, the ambient temperature should be between –10 and
40 °C. The inverters of the Conergy IPG string inverter series
achieve the quoted nominal capacity within this temperature
range. In the case of temperatures between 40 and 60 °C, the
output of the inverter may be reduced (derating).
CAUTION!
Damage due to condensate
If the device is brought to the installation location from cold
surroundings, condensation may form, which can lead to
damage to the electronic equipment. The device must be dry
before commissioning.
| Allow two hours after transportation before commissioning
the device.
