2.3  Scope of delivery

n

Inverter 

, type coolcept (plastic housing) or coolcept-x

(stainless steel housing, IP65)

n

Mounting plate 

 for type coolcept or coolcept-x

n

AC plug 

n

1 pair SUNCLIX plug-in connectors 

n

3 sealing caps (for RJ45 socket; only coolcept-x) 

n

Brief installation and operating instructions 

2.4  Intended use

n

The inverter must only be used in grid-coupled photovoltaic

systems. The inverter is suitable for all PV generator with

connections that do not need to be grounded.

n

PV generator must be used that have an IEC 61730 class A

rating because the inverter does not have electrical isolation.

n

If the maximum AC operating voltage is higher than the

maximum system voltage of the photovoltaic generator, then

PV generator must be used that have a maximum system

voltage that is higher than the AC grid voltage.

Notice
An overview of suitable PV generators is available at
