1- Introduction and general information

F

ield of use, general conditions 

ABB shall not be liable for any damages whatsoever that may result from 
incorrect or careless operations.

You may not use the equipment for a use that does not conform to that provided for in the 

field of use. The equipment MUST NOT be used by inexperienced staff, or even experienced 

staff if carrying out operations on the equipment that fail to comply with the indications in this 
manual and enclosed documentation.

I

ntended or allowed use

This equipment is a inverter designed for:

transforming a continuous electrical current (DC) 

supplied by a photovoltaic generator (FV) 

in an alternating electrical current (AC) 

suitable for feeding into the public distribution grid.

L

imits in field of use

The inverter can be used only with photovoltaic modules which have ground isolated input 
poles, unless they are accessories installed that enable earthing of the inputs. In this case 
you must install an insulating transformer on the AC side of the system.
Only a photovoltaic generator can be connected in the input of the inverter (do not connect 
batteries or other sources of power supply).
The inverter can be connected to the electricity grid only in countries for which it has been 

certified/approved.

The inverter cannot be connected to the DC side in parallel to other inverters to convert ener-
gy from a photovoltaic generator with a power greater than the nominal power of the single 
inverter.
The inverter may only be used in compliance with all its technical characteristics.

I

mproper or prohibited use 

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO:

• 

Install the equipment in environments subject to particular conditions of 

flammability or in 

adverse or disallowed environmental conditions, (temperature and humidity).

• 

Use the equipment with safety devices which are faulty or disabled.

• 

Use the equipment or parts of the equipment by linking it to other machines or equipment, 

unless expressly provided for.

• 

Modify operating parameters that are not accessible to the operator and/or parts of the 

equipment to vary its performance or change its isolation.

• 

Clean with corrosive products that could eat into parts of the equipment or generate elec-

trostatic charges.

• 

Use or install the appliance or parts of it without having read and understood the contents of 

the user and maintenance manual.

• 

Heat or dry rags and clothing on the parts in temperature. In addition to being hazardous, 

doing so would compromise component ventilation and cooling.
