Mounting clearances and air circulation
► Ensure adequate air circulation. Warm air must be able
to escape upwards. Leave sufficient space around each
inverter.
► Do not install inverters directly one above another as this
might cause mutual heating.
► Take note of the
operating temperature range without limit-
ing
and the
operating temperature range
. If the
operating
temperature range without limiting
is exceeded, the inverter
limits the AC power that is fed into the grid. If the
operating
temperature range
is exceeded, the inverter stops supplying
the grid. This is normal operating behaviour for the inverter
and is necessary to protect the internal electronics.
► In areas with many trees or meadows, pollen can block the
air inlets and outlets and impede the air flow.
