5.1 Storing the Grid-Connect-Box
• Store the Grid-Connect-Box in a dry place at an ambient temperature of between − 25°C and +60°C.
5.2 Requirements for Mounting
Mounting Location
A firm, even support surface, e.g., a concrete foundation, must be available for mounting.
The mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the Grid-Connect-Box (see Section 12
"Technical Data", page 32).
The mounting location must be clear and safely accessible at all times without any need for auxiliary equipment.
The mounting location must not hinder access to disconnection devices.
All local requirements concerning minimum passage widths and escape routes must be observed.
Climatic conditions must be met (see Section 12 "Technical Data", page 32).
The mounting location must be below 3000 m above MSL. If you would like to use the Grid-Connect-Box at altitudes
above 3000 m, contact Service (see Section 13, page 35).
Minimum clearances
Figure 5: Minimum clearances
There must be sufficient space at the mounting location to ensure compliance with the minimum clearances.
There must be a distance of at least 300 mm between the Grid-Connect-Box and the Multicluster-Box. This will ensure
adequate heat dissipation.
Mounting position
Figure 6: Permitted and prohibited mounting positions
The mounting location must be suitable to ensure compliance with the permitted mounting position.
