Safety 

2.1  Appropriate Usage 

The SolarRiver Series is a PV inverter which converts the DC current of a PV generator into AC 

current and feeds it into the public grid.  

 

Figure 1

PV Grid-tied System 

2.2  Important Safety Instructions 

Danger !

 

Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter! 

Caution !

 

Danger of burn injuries due to hot enclosure parts! 

Caution !

 

Possible damage to health as a result of the effects of radiation! 

Note !

PV Module

Grid-tied Inverter 

• All work on the inverter must be carried out by qualified personnel only.
• The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical 

  sensory or mental capabilities,  or  lack of experience and knowledge, unless 
  they have been given supervision or instruction.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 

  appliance.

During operation, the upper lid of the enclosure and the enclosure body may 
become hot.

• Only touch the lower enclosure lid during operation.

• Do not stay closer than 20 cm to the inverter for any length of time.

Grounding the PV generator. Comply with the local requirements for      
grounding  the  PV  modules  and  the  PV generator. Samil Power recommends 
connecting  the  generator frame  and  other electrically conductive surfaces in a 
manner which ensures continuous conduction and ground these in order to have 
optimal protection of the system and personnel.
