GENERAL 

During inverter operation, some parts can be powered, some not properly insulated and, in some cases, 
some parts can move or rotate, or some surfaces can be hot.  
Unauthorized removal of the necessary protections, improper use, incorrect installation or incorrect 
operation may lead to serious damage to people and objects. 
All transport, installation and start-up, as well as maintenance operations, shall be carried out by skilled 
and trained personnel (all national regulations on accidents prevention shall be complied with ! ! !). 
According to these basic safety rules, qualified and trained people have skills for the assembling, start-
up and operation of the product, as well as the necessary requirements and qualifications to perform 
such operations.  
 

ASSEMBLY 

Devices shall be assembled and cooled according to the specifications mentioned in the corresponding 
documents. 
In particular, during transport and handling, parts shall not be bent and/or the insulation distances shall 
not be changed. There should be no contact between electronic parts and connection terminals.  
Electrical parts must not be mechanically damaged or destroyed (potential health risk).  
 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 

With the inverter powered, comply with all prevailing national regulations on accidents prevention. 
Electrical connections shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations, such as 
conductor sections, fuses, PE connection.  
 

OPERATION 

Systems equipped with inverters shall be provided with further control and protective devices in 
compliance with the corresponding prevailing safety rules, such as those relating to the compliance 
with technical equipment, accident-preventing regulations, etc. Any calibration change shall be made 
using the operational software. Once the inverter has been disconnected from the power grid, powered 
parts and electrical connections shall not be touched as some capacitors could be charged.  
Comply with all corresponding marks and symbols present on each device. During operation, make 
sure that all covers and doors are closed.
