Damage to the inverter due to electrostatic discharge

Touching electronic components can cause damage to or destroy the inverter through electrostatic
discharge.

• Ground yourself before touching any components.

Observe local regulations

All electrical installations must comply with the electrical standards applicable on-site and the

National Electrical Code

(ANSI/NFPA 70). Installations in Canada must comply with the

applicable Canadian standards.
