Planning the installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter instructs in planning the mechanical and electrical installation.
Selecting the location for the inverter
WARNING! Do not install the inverter in a location where:
• corrosive, explosive or flammable materials are used or stored
• there is a risk of mechanical impacts
• there is a lot of dust, or any conductive dust
• there is a risk of flooding or snow or sand piling
• inverter will be near to a heat source. Exposure to external heat will reduce the
power output capacity and shorten the component lifetime.
• The product is designed for indoor and outdoor installations which meet the
safety, ambient conditions and free space requirements. The installation site must
meet the specification in section
Environmental data and requirements on page
115 .
The supporting structure
and fastenings must be
strong enough to support
the weight of the inverter
unit(s) and must be made
of non-flammable material.
See section
Mechanical
data on page 116 .
The installation room or
cabinet must have
adequate ventilation,
airflow and cooling for all
equipment inside. See
