Constructing earthing electrode and earthing
Construct an earthing electrode for the compact skid according to local regulations. For
more information, see drawing 3AES-PVS980-CS-02-DW02.
Filling the pit and finalizing the surroundings
1.
If required for local frost conditions, add insulation around the column foundation.
2.
To minimize the growth of grass, use geotextile below the foundation and below the
service platform around the compact skid. Put the geotextile 20 cm (8 in) below and
about 100 cm (40 in) around the foundation.
3.
The compact skid is a non walking station, designed to be operated from the outside.
Provide a permanent or portable platform for comfortable operation of the compact skid
switching devices as the foundation can be higher than the surrounding ground. For
platform design and construction, follow local rules and standards.
4.
Do not plant trees near the compact skid. If bushes are planted, make sure that the
planting compost base is at least one meter (40 in) away from the station housing and
that the fully-grown bushes do not prevent maintenance access to the compact skid.
Make sure that anything planted near the inverter does not discharge dust or seeds
that can affect the cooling air flow.

Unpacking
To prevent any damage to the compact skid, perform the unpacking as late as possible
before the installation. For the permitted operating conditions, see PVS980-CS datasheet.
