4. Installation
4.1 Select a Location for the Inverter
To selects location for the inverter, the following criteria should be considered:
•
Do not install in small closed spaces where air can not circulate freely. To avoid
overheating , always make sure the flow of air around the inverter is not blocked.
•
Exposure to direct sunlight will increase the operational temperature of the inverter and
may cause output power limiting. EFFEKTA recommends inverter installed to avoid direct
sunlight or raining.
•
To avoid overheating ambient air temperature must be considered when choosing the
inverter installation location. EFFEKTA recommends using a sun shade minimizing direct
sunlight when the ambient air temperature around the unit exceeds 104°F/40°C.
Figure4.1 Recommended Installation locations
•
Install on a wall or strong structure capable of bearing the weight.
•
Install vertically with a maximum incline of +/-5° . If the mounted inverter is tilted to an
angle greater than the maximum noted, heat dissipation can be inhibited, and may result in
less than expected output power.
•
When 1 or more inverters are installed in one location, a minimum 300mm clearance should
be kept between each inverter or other object(if a canopy is added, a distance of 50cm must
