5.3 Protection concepts
The following monitoring and protective functions are inte-
grated into Powador inverters:
– Redundant 3-phase grid monitoring in order to protect the
operator and to avoid islanding.
– Overvoltage conductors/varistors to protect the power sem-
iconductors from high-energy transients on the grid side.
– Temperature monitoring of the heat sink.
– EMC fi lters to protect the inverter against high-frequency
line interference.
– AC/DC-sensitive residual current circuit breaker RCD type B
switch (Residual Current protective Device), which monitors
the leakage current from the Powador’s grid connection to
the PV generator and interrupts the feed to the grid when
the residual current exceeds 30 mA. The RCD type B switch
triggers when a cable has a fault in the insulation, a frame
fault or an earth fault.
6 Installation and Start-up
6.1 Selecting an appropriate place for
installation
The units should be installed in areas that are as dry as pos-
sible in order to extend their service life. In addition, be sure
that the units are installed in climate-controlled areas in order
to protect them from overheating. This extends their service
life.
When selecting the inverter’s place of installation, attention
should be paid to the following items:
– Ensure good access to the unit for installation or any service
work that may later be required.
– Maintain the following minimum clearances around the
unit:
200mm side clearance to other units,
700mm clearance to other stacked units,
500mm to cabinets, ceilings, etc.
– The unit has been designed for vertical wall installation.
– Air must be allowed to circulate freely around the housing
and through the heat sink on the rear side.

Section 6 · Installation and Start-up
Risk of fatal injury from fi re or explosions.
The Powador’s housing may become hot during
operation.
Do not mount the Powador on fl ammable
materials.
Do not install the Powador in areas which con-
tain highly fl ammable materials.
Do not install the Powador in areas where there
is a risk of explosion.
WARNING
CAUTION
Risk of burns from hot housing components.
Install the Powador so that unintentional contact
with it is not possible.
NOTE
Powador inverters meet the requirements of protection
class IP54 if all cable feedthroughs are used or suitably
closed off.
