Replacing DC string fuses

Some inverter parts may be subject to voltages that could be hazardous for the operator. Be-

fore performing any work on the inverter, refer to “Inverter switch-off” chapter on this manual to

know all the necessary step to safely operate on the inverter.

The string protection fuses (where present) in the inverter may need to

be replaced in the following circumstances:

1. Adjustment of the fuse value on the basis of the type of PV panels used

2. Damaged fuse

Procedure for replacing string fuses from positive

or negative

(only

on -SX, -SX2 model) string fuses board:

PVS-50-TL-SX

PVS-60-TL-SX

PVS-60-TL-SX-CN

PVS-50-TL-SX2

PVS-60-TL-SX2

Open any AC disconnect switch downstream of the inverter.

Open the DC disconnect switches

By only disconnecting the AC disconnect switch and the DC disconnect switch, the DC input

voltage is still present on the fuse board. Use adequate PPE (personal protective equipment).

Disconnect the strings by disconnectiong the quick fit input connectors

Wait enough time for the stored energy to be discharged (min time 30

minutes).

Open the wiring box front cover

Remove the fuse to be replaced

Introduce the new fuse into the fuse holder on the string fuse boards
