3.3 Inverter Placement Considerations
Although the GTIB-30 inverter is designed to be as efficient as possible, some heat is
inevitably generated by the unit. The GTIB-30 needs to be installed in such a manner
that hot air generated by the unit can escape.
The entire enclosure is used to dissipate waste heat. At high power, the temperature
of the entire enclosure will therefore increase significantly. Hot spots on the
enclosure may reach up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 ºC). Ensure that no
temperature sensitive objects are close to or touching any part of the inverter
enclosure at any time. Also ensure that small children are unable to access the area
where the inverter is stored.
Hot air is designed to escape from the inverter through the ventilation louvers on the
right side of the inverter which is shown in Figure 20.
Figure 20: GTIB-30 View showing ventilation louvers.
For optimal performance, please ensure that these ventilation louvers are not blocked
by surrounding objects or walls.
Under no circumstances, should the right side of the inverter be moved directly up
against a wall or other object. This will prevent air flow through the ventilation
louvers and will also prevent the enclosure door from opening.
For optimal performance, it is recommended to leave as much open space around the
inverter as possible for optimal natural cooling. The minimum space requirement on
the right and the front of the GTIB-30 inverter for full power capability is 12 inches.
The following is a list of the above requirements and other considerations that should
be taken into account in order to get the most out of the GTIB-30 inverter:
1.
Mount the enclosure away from heat sensitive equipment and/or objects,
since the enclosure heats up considerably during operation
2.
Ensure that the ventilation louvers on the right and the front of the
enclosure are not obstructed.
