2. Safety
2.1 Appropriate Usage
This series inverter is designed and tested in accordance with international safety requirements. However,
certain safety precautions must be taken when installing and operating this inverter. The installer must read
and follow all instructions, cautions and warnings in this installation manual.
- All operations including transport, installation, start-up and maintenance, must be carried out by qualified,
trained personnel.
- The electrical installation & maintenance of the inverter shall be conducted by a licensed electrician and
shall comply with local wiring rules and regulations.
- Before installation, check the unit to ensure it is free of any transport or handling damage, which could
affect insulation integrity or safety clearances. Choose the installation location carefully and adhere to
specified cooling requirements. Unauthorized removal of necessary protections, improper use, incorrect
installation and operation may lead to serious safety and shock hazards or equipment damage.
- Before connecting the inverter to the power distribution grid, contact the local power distribution grid
company to get appropriate approvals. This connection must be made only by qualified technical
personnel.
- Do not install the equipment in adverse environmental conditions such as in close proximity to
flammable or explosive substances; in a corrosive environment; where there is exposure to extreme
high or low temperatures; or where humidity is high.
- Do not use the equipment when the safety devices do not work or are disabled.
- Use personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection during the installation.
- Inform the manufacturer about non-standard installation conditions.
- Do not use the equipment if any operating anomalies are found. Avoid temporary repairs.
- All repairs should be carried out using only approved spare parts, which must be installed in accordance
with their intended use and by a licensed contractor or authorized service representative.
- Liabilities arising from commercial components are delegated to their respective manufacturers.
- Any time the inverter has been disconnected from the public network, please be extremely cautious as
some components can retain charge sufficient to create a shock hazard. Prior to touching any part of the
inverter please ensure surfaces and equipment are under touch safe temperatures and voltage
potentials before proceeding.

2.2 PE Connection and Leakage Current
PV System Residual Current Factors
- In every PV installation, several elements contribute to the current leakage to protective earth (PE). these
elements can be divided into two main types.
- Capacitive discharge current - Discharge current is generated mainly by the parasitic capacitance of the PV
modules to PE. The module type, the environmental conditions (rain, humidity) and even the distance of the
modules from the roof can effect the discharge current. Other factors that may contribute to the parasitic
capacitance are the inverter’s internal capacitance to PE and external protection elements such as lighting
protection.
- During operation, the DC bus is connected to the alternating current grid via the inverter. Thus, a portion of
the alternating voltage amplitude arrives at the DC bus. The fluctuating voltage constantly changes the
charge state of the parasitic PV capacitor (i.e capacitance to PE). This is associated with a displacement
current, which is proportional to the capacitance and the applied voltage amplitude.
- Residual current - if there is a fault, such as defective insulation, where an energized cable comes into
contact with a grounded person, an additional current flow, known as a residual current.
Residual Current Device (RCD)
- All Energizer Force S Series inverters incorporate a certified internal RCD (Residual Current Device) to
protect against possible electrocution in case of a malfunction of the PV array, cables or inverter (DC). The
RCD in the Energizer Force S Series inverter can detect leakage on the DC side. There are 2 trip thresholds
for the RCD as required by the DIN VDE 0126-1-1 standard. A low threshold is used to protect against rapid
changes in leakage typical of direct contact by people. A higher threshold is used for slowly rising leakage
currents, to limit the current in grounding conductors for the safety. The default value for higher speed
personal protection is 30mA, and 300mA per unit for lower speed fire safety.
Installation and Selection of an External RCD device
- An external RCD is required in some countries. The installer must check which type of RCD is required by
the specific local electric codes. Installation of an RCD must always be conducted in accordance with local
codes and standards. Energizer Force S Series recommends the use of a type-A RCD. Unless a lower value
is required by the specific local electric codes, Energizer Force S Series suggests an RCD value between
100mA and 300mA.
- In installations where the local electric code requires an RCD with a lower leakage setting, the discharge
current might result in nuisance tripping of the external RCD. The following steps are recommended to avoid
nuisance tripping of the external RCD:
1. Selecting the appropriate RCD is important for correct operation of the installation. An RCD with a rating of
30mA may actually trip at a leakage as 15mA (according to IEC 61008). High quality RCDs will typically trip at a
value closer to their rating.
2. Configure the trip current of the inverter’ internal RCD to a lower value than the trip current of the external RCD.
The internal RCD will trip if the current is higher than the allowed current, but because the internal inverter RCD
automatically resets when the residual currents are low it saves the manual reset.
2.3 Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) for PV Installation
WARNING!
Over-voltage protection with surge arresters should be provided when the PV power system is installed. The
grid connected inverter is not fitted with SPDs in both PV input side and mains side.
Lightning will cause damage either from a direct strike or from surges due to a nearby strike.

4
Induced surges are the most likely cause of lightning damage in majority or installations, especially in rural
areas where electricity is usually provided by long overhead lines. Surges may impact on both the PV array
conduction and the AC cables leading to the building. Specialists in lightning protection should be consulted
during the end use application. Using appropriate external lightning protection, the effect of a direct lightning
strike into a building can be mitigated in a controlled way, and the lightning current can be discharged into the
ground.
Installation of SPDs to protect the inverter against mechanical damage and excessive stress include a surge
arrester in case of a building with external lightning protection system (LPS) when separation distance is kept.
To protect the DC system, surge suppression device (SPD type2) should be fitted at the inverter end of the
DC cabling and at the array located between the inverter and the PV generator, if the voltage protection level
(VP) of the surge arresters is greater than 1100V, an additional SPD type 3 is required for surge protection for
electrical devices.
To protect the AC system, surge suppression devices (SPD type2) should be fitted at the main incoming point
of AC supply (at the consumer’s cutout), located between the inverter and the meter/distribution system; SPD
(test impulse D1) for signal line according to EN 61632-1. All DC cables should be installed to provide as short
a run as possible, and positive and negative cables of the string or main DC supply should be bundled
together.
Avoiding the creation of loops in the system. This requirement for short runs and bundling includes any
associated earth bundling conductors. Spark gap devices are not suitable to be used in DC circuits once
conducting; they won’t stop conducting until the voltage across their terminals is typically below 30 volts.

on the DC switch or connect the PV connector to power on the inverter to finish the upgrade process.
• Isolation Fault (Australia Market Only)
This inverter complies with IEC 62109-2 clause 13.9 for earth fault alarm monitoring. If an Earth Fault Alarm
occurs, the fault code Isolation fault will be displayed on the inverter screen and the RED LED indicator will light up.
The inverter should be installed in a high traffic area so the alarm will be noticed.
Warning!
Make sure the input voltage is more than 120V (preferably in good illumination conditions),
and do not remove the U-disk during update, otherwise the update may fail. If there is any
problem or error during the upgrade, please contact our service team for help.

5.9 Inverter Start-Up
Please refer to the following steps to start-up the inverter:
a) Check if device is fixed well on the wall;
b) Make sure all DC breakers and AC breakers are disconnected;
c) Ensure AC cable is connected to the grid correctly;
d) All PV panels are connected to inverter correctly; DC connectors that are not used should be sealed by
cover;
e) Turn on the external AC and DC connectors;
f) Turn the DC switch to the “ON” position (if equipped with DC switch on the inverter).
If the LED is not green, please check the below:
- All the connections are correct.
- All the external disconnect switches are closed.
- The DC switch of the inverter is in the “ON” position.
Note:
- When starting the inverter for the first time, the country code will be set by default to the local settings. Please
check if the country code is correct.
- Set the time on the inverter using the button or by using the APP.
Below are the three possible inverter states indicating that the inverter has started up successfully.
Waiting: Inverter is waiting to check the DC input voltage from panels is greater than 80V (lowest start-up voltage)
but less than 120V (lowest operating voltage), display will indicate the Waiting status and green LED will flash.
Checking: Inverter will check DC input environment automatically when DC input voltage from the PV panels
exceeds 120V and PV panels have enough energy to start inverter, display will indicate the Checking status and
green LED will flash.
Normal: Inverter begins to operate normally with green light on. Meanwhile feedback energy to grid, LCD displays
present output power.
Note: You can go to the setting interface on the display to follow the instructions if it is the first time to start up.
Complete inverter Start-up guide
After the initial start-up the inverter, display will go to the language settings page, short press to switch language
and long press to confirm selection. Once language set, display will guide to set the Grid Code. Short press to
switch Grid Code (Please select the Region A/B/C, please confirm with local grid company on which Region to
select), and long press to confirm selection. When Region is selected, the inverter loads all the Region values for
power quality response modes and grid protection settings. After the initial commission, the setting will be locked
and the Country code and Power Quality Response Mode will be viewed only. Please contact Energizer local
service team to get the password to change that setting.(Authorized people only)
