Replace the Inverter 

Please confirm the following items before replacing the inverter: 

 

The AC breaker of inverter is turned off. 

 

The DC switch of the inverter is turned off. 

Now replace the inverter according to the following steps: 

1. 

Unlock the padlock if one is installed on the inverter. 

 

Figure 8-2 Unlock the padlock 

 

 

 

DANGER: 

Please disconnect the electrical connection in strict accordance with 

the following steps. Otherwise, the inverter will be damaged and the 
service personnel’s life will be endangered.
