UL1741 is the standard applied by ETL to the Sunny Boy 3800U
to certify that it meets the requirements of the NEC and IEEE-929-
2000. IEEE 929-2000 provides recommendations regarding the
proper equipment and functionality necessary to ensure
compatible operation when power generation is connected to the
utility grid.
Note:
Contact the local utility and/or the authority having
jurisdiction prior to connecting the SB3800U to the utility grid.
FCC Compliance
The SB3800U has been tested and certified by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory and conforms to all FCC Part 15 B EMI/EMC emissions regulations.
Feature Overview
Over twenty years of inverter manufacturing experience has gone into the design of the
SB3800U. As a result, the SB3800U represents state-of-the-art technology, high
reliability and overall ease of use - all the qualities you’ve come to expect from SMA,
the industry leader in inverter technology. Some of the features included are:
• LCD
• Temperature regulated fan cooling - simple replacement
• Auto line voltage detection and configuration
• Advanced communication options available
• Compatible with all SMA inverter and communication products
• High efficiency
• Simple installation
• Powder coated diecast enclosure
Operating Temperature
The SB3800U has been designed to maintain full power output with ambient
temperatures as high as 45°C. Fan cooling allows this level of output power to be
achieved even in enclosed spaces. The SB3800U will continue to operate well beyond
45°C and derates as needed to maintain a safe internal component temperature.
