DANGER!
◆PV strings will produce electrical power when exposed to sunlight and
can cause a lethal voltage and an electric shock.
◆Only qualified personnel can perform the wiring of the PV panels.
◆Do not open the enclosure when the inverter is running. Unauthorized
opening will void warranty and warranty claims and in most cases termi-
nate the operating license.
◆When the enclosure lid is removed, live components can be touched
which can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
◆Operating a damaged inverter can lead to hazardous situations that can
result in death or serious injuries due to electric shock.
◆Batteries deliver electric power, resulting in burns or a fire hazard when
they are short circuited, or wrongly installed.
◆Lethal voltages are present at the battery terminals and cables
connecting to the inverter. Severe injuries or death may occur if the
cables and terminals in the inverter are touched.
◆PV negative (PV-) and battery negative (BAT-) on inverter side is not
grounded as default design. Connecting PV- or BAT- to EARTH are strictly
forbidden.
WARNING!
◆Do not disconnect PV connectors, AC connector or battery connectors
while the inverter is running. De-energize from all multiple power sourc-
es. Wait 5 minutes for the internal capacitors to discharge. Verify that
there is no voltage or current before disconnecting any connectors.
Use personal protective equipment, including rubber gloves and prote-
tive boots during the installation or maintenance.
CAUTION!
Do not touch any hot parts (such as the heat sink) during operation, The
temperature of inverter surface might exceed 60℃ during working
CAUTION!
◆Electrical installation and maintenance must be carried out by compe-
tent electricians according to local regulations.
◆Do not open inverter cover or change any components without RENAC
Power’s authorization, otherwise the warranty commitment for the
inverter will be invalid.
◆Usage and operation of the inverter must follow instructions in this user
manual, otherwise the protection design might be useless and warranty
for the inverter will be invalid.
NOTE!
◆Electrical installation and maintenance must be carried out by compe-
tent electricians according to local regulations.
The inverter built-in RCMU will exclude possibility of DC residual current
to 6mA, thus in the system an external RCD (type A) can be used(≥30mA).
Anti-Islanding Effect
Islanding effect is a special phenomenon that grid-connected PV system still supply power to the nearby grid when the
voltage loss is happened in the power system. It is dangerous for maintenance personnel and the public.
N3-HV series inverter provide Active Frequency Drift(AFD) to prevent islanding effect.
