2.2 Safety Precautions
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter
When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous DC voltage which is present in the
DC conductors and the live components of the inverter. Touching the DC conductors or the live
components can lead to lethal electric shocks.
• Do not touch the DC conductors.
• Do not touch any live components of the inverter.
• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as
described in this document (see Section 9 "Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources",
page 61).
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
During operation, the upper enclosure lid and the enclosure body may get hot.
• Only touch the lower enclosure lid during operation.
Possible damage to health due to radiation effects
• Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm from the inverter whenever possible.
Earthing of the PV array
Comply with the local regulations for earthing the modules and the PV array.
SMA Solar Technology AG recommends the continuously conductive connection and
earthing of the array frame and other electrically conductive surfaces in order to ensure
maximum protection for property and persons.
