1 Safety Precautions
Personnel Requirements
Only qualified and trained electrical technicians are allowed to install and operate the
inverter.
Operators should understand the components and functioning of a grid-tied PV power
system and be familiar with relevant local standards.
Read this document thoroughly before operations. Huawei shall not be liable for any
consequence caused by violation of the storage, transportation, installation, and operation
regulations specified in this document.
Sign Protection
Do not tamper with any warning signs on the inverter enclosure because these signs
contain important information about safe operation.
Do not tamper with the nameplate on the inverter enclosure because it contains important
product information.
Installation
Ensure that the inverter is not connected to a power supply and is not powered on before
starting installation.
Ensure that there are no objects within 200 mm, 200 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm, and 1000
mm of the left, right, top, bottom, and front of the inverter, respectively. This is to allow
sufficient space for installation and heat dissipation. If you have any questions about the
distance, consult the local technical support engineers.
Ensure that the inverter is installed in a well ventilated environment.
Ensure that the inverter heat sinks are free from blockage.
Open the maintenance compartment door of the chassis before connecting cables. Do not
perform any operation on other components inside the chassis except connecting AC
power cables and communications cables.

Cable Connections
Before connecting cables, ensure that the inverter is securely positioned and not damaged in
any way. Otherwise, electric shocks or fire may occur.
Ensure that all electrical connections comply with local electrical standards.
Obtain approval from the local power supply department before using the inverter to
generate electricity in grid-tied mode.
Ensure that the cables used in a grid-tied PV power system are properly connected and
insulated and meet specifications.
Operation
High voltages may cause electric shocks and serious injuries during inverter operating.
Strictly comply with the safety precautions in this document and associated documents when
operating the inverter.
Do not touch an operating inverter because the heat sinks may have a temperature of
greater than 60ºC and may cause burns when the inverter is operating.
Follow local laws and regulations when operating the equipment.
Maintenance and Replacement
High voltages may cause electric shocks and serious injuries during inverter operating.
Therefore, before maintenance, power off the inverter and strictly comply with the safety
precautions in this document and associated documents to operate the inverter.
Maintain the inverter with sufficient knowledge of this document and proper tools and
testing equipment.
Before performing maintenance tasks, power off the inverter and wait at least 5 minutes.
Place temporary warning signs or erect fences to prevent unauthorized access to the
maintenance site.
Rectify any faults that may compromise the inverter security performance before
powering on the inverter again.
Observe ESD precautions during the maintenance.
For personal safety, wear insulation gloves and protective shoes.

2.4 Working Process
Circuit Diagrams
The SUN2000 receives inputs from six PV strings. Then the inputs are grouped into three
MPPT routes inside the SUN2000 to track the maximum power point of the PV strings. The
DC power is then converted into three-phase AC power through a converter circuit. Surge
protection is supported on both the DC and AC sides. Figure 2-11 shows the circuit diagram
for the SUN2000-33KTL and SUN2000-33KTL-E001. Figure 2-12 shows the circuit diagram
for the SUN2000-30KTL-A and SUN2000-40KTL.
