Installation
2.2 Mounting the Inverter
The inverter base can reach a temperature up to 90°C (194°F) and should be mounted on a
noncombustible surface
*
. This surface and the mounting hardware must also be capable of
supporting at least twice the weight of the inverter. To meet regulatory requirements, the MS
Series must be mounted in one of the following positions as shown in Figure 2-3:
• above or under a horizontal surface (shelf or table),
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals to the right,
• on a vertical surface (wall) with the DC terminals toward the bottom, the MP-HOOD (inverter
hood) installed on the top, and either the ME-CB (Conduit box), MMP series (single inverter
enclosure), or MP Series (multiple inverter enclosure) installed on the inverter’s bottom.
Info:
The ME-CB, MMP and MP Series enclosures prevent material from falling out the
bottom in the event of an internal fi re, and also allow suffi
cient ventilation to prevent the
inverter from overheating under normal operating conditions. The MP-HOOD inverter
hood helps prevent items from falling inside causing damage to the inverter.
Info:
Sensata provides backplates for mounting the inverter(s). These backplates also
provide the ability to mount either the MMP Series enclosure (PN: BP-MMP) or the MP
Series enclosure (PN: BP-S single plate, or BP-D dual plate).
After determining the mounting position, refer to the physical dimensions as shown in Figures
2-4 or 2-5, or use the base of the inverter as a template to mark your mounting screw locations.
After marking the mounting screw locations, mount the unit with appropriate mounting hardware.
*
Noncombustible surface – A surface made of material that will not ignite, burn, support combustion,
or release fl ammable vapors when subjected to fi re or heat as per the ASTM E136 standard. For the
most part, these are materials that are largely comprised of inorganic materials such as stone, steel,
iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, and glass. Avoid common building materials such as gypsum board as
well as any paint, wall coverings, and all types of wood.
