Safety
Page Operating Instructions for Powador .-. TL_EN
ENEN
• Observe all safety instructions on the inverter and in these operating instructions.
• Switch o all voltage sources and secure them against being inadvertently switched back on before performing
visual inspections and maintenance.
• When taking measurements while the inverter is live:
– Do not touch the electrical connections
– Remove all jewellery from wrists and ngers.
– Ensure that the testing equipment is in safe operating condition.
• Stand on an insulated surface when working on the inverter.
• Modications to the surroundings of the inverter must comply with the applicable national and local standards.
• When working on the PV generator, it is also necessary to switch o the DC voltage with the DC isolator switch in
addition to disconnecting the PV generator from the grid.
. Proper use
The inverter converts the DC voltage generated by the PV modules into AC voltage and feeds it into the grid. The
inverter is built according to the latest technological standards and safety regulations. Nevertheless, improper use
may cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result in damage to the unit and other property.
Operate the inverter only with a permanent connection to the public power grid.
Any other or additional use of the device shall be regarded as improper. This includes:
• Mobile use,
• Use in rooms where there is a risk of explosion,
• Use in rooms where the humidity is higher than %
• Use in outdoor areas if the inverter is exposed to direct sunlight, rain or a storm,
• Use less than m distant from the coast,
• Operation outside of the specications intended by the manufacturer
• Standalone operation.
. Protection features
The following monitoring and protection functions are built-in:
• Overvoltage conductors/varistors to protect the power semiconductors from high-energy transients on the grid
and generator side
• Temperature monitoring of the heat sink
• EMC lters to protect the inverter from high-frequency grid interference
• Grid-side grounded varistors to protect the inverter against burst and surge pulses
• Islanding detection according to VDE --
