Installation and Operating Instructions V04 16
5.2 System layout ofunits without integrated DC switch
Local standards or codes may require that PV systems are fitted with an external
DC switch on the DC side. The DC switch must be able to safely disconnect the
open-circuit voltage of the PV array plus a safety reserve of 20%.
Install a DC switch to each PV string to isolate the DC side of the inverter.
We recommend the following electrical connection:
Risk of injury due to electric shock
The external protective grounding conductor is connected to the inverter’s
protective grounding terminal through the AC screw terminal block. Make sure
the groundingconnection is reliable.
• When connecting,connect the AC connection first to ensure the inverter
grounding reliably and then connect the DC inputs.
• When disconnecting, disconnect the DC inputs first and then disconnect the
AC connection.
• Don’t connect the DC inputs while the AC connection is disconnected under
any circumstances.
• All electrical installations must be done in accordance with the National
Wiring Rules Standards and Local Code.
