3.2 PLACEMENT AND LOCATION
Placement and location of the machine is very important for the machine and the plant both:
Following points should be kept in mind while placing this machine:
1. This machine has high voltages of both AC and DC nature inside and hence should be kept away from access of
children, infants or pets. Proper caution marks should be displayed close by to avoid any accidental conditions.
Location should be chosen accordingly.
2. This machine may be hot during operation and hence, its location should be such that any accidental, contact
with it should be avoided.
3. The room where this machine is placed should be of stationary nature with firm walls, base and roof. It should
be well ventilated with a proper mechanism of fresh air entry and exhaust. Air conditioned room will ensure a
more reliable functioning of this machine.
4. Minimum clearances should be maintained on all four sides as per the given diagram below for ease of access.
Ensure both front and rear door can easily be opened without obstruction. Sufficient space should be provided
between the roof of the room and the top of this unit (atleast 2.5 feet). This is important to avoid creation of hot
air column on top of the unit. Placing the PCU just below the solar panels will also damage the inverter, as the
heat source is directly above it. Ventilation is mandatory.
5. All the units have cable entry from bottom side. Proper route of cables should be envisaged before the
placement of the machine. It is important that none of the wires are in tension or hinder the path of movement
of people around.
6. The machine should be placed preferably on a raised platform for easy route of all incoming and outgoing
cables. It is recommended also for better insulation from ground.
7. The surface used for placing the machine should be horizontal and level. Proper grouting of the panel is
recommended on the holes provided on the base channels of this machine.
8. This machine is inflammable in nature and hence no high pressure items such as gas cylinders, gas pipe lines,
sprays, hay etc should be close by. Please ensure presence of a fire extinguisher close by in case of
emergency.
9. Once the machine has been firmly secured in its place, open the front and rear doors of the unit using the
proper tool provided along with the machine (Optional). Remove the Silica Gel packets from inside (if any).
Please check the fans for Silica Gel so that the running of fan is not hindered during operation.
