2.1 Intended Use
The SunnyCentral is a PV inverter which converts the direct current generated in the PV modules into grid-compliant
alternating current. An external MV transformer fitted downstream feeds the generated alternating current into the
utility grid.
The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The enclosure complies with degree of protection IP54. The inverter is classified under Class4C2 as per
EN60721-3-4 and is suitable for operation in a chemically active environment.
The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the inverter must not be exceeded.
The inverter must only be operated in conjunction with a suitable MV transformer. The MV transformer must be
designed for voltages that arise during pulsed mode of the inverter. The maximum AC voltages to ground are as
follows:
• For the SunnyCentral500CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±800V.
• For the SunnyCentral 630CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±1450V.

2.2 Safety Information
This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working on or with the product. To
prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section
carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock due to live voltage
High voltages are present in the live components of the product. Touching live components results in death or
serious injury due to electric shock.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.
• Observe all safety information of the module manufacturer.
• After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15minutes before opening it to allow the capacitors to discharge
completely (see Section4.2, page25).
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched
When exposed to sunlight, the PV modules generate high DC voltage which is present in the DC cables. Touching
live DC cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.
• Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock in case of a ground fault
If there is a ground fault, components that are supposedly grounded may in fact be live. Touching live parts will
result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock due to damaged product
Operating a damaged product can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious injuries due to
electric shock.
• Only operate the product when it is in a flawless technical condition and safe to operate.
• Check the product regularly for visible damage.
• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.
• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

2 Safety SMA Solar Technology AG
Maintenance ManualSCCP-JP-B1-WA-en-2210
DANGER
Danger to life from electric shock even if the inverter is disconnected on the AC and DC sides
The precharge unit of the order option "QatNight" will carry live voltage even if the AC contactor and the DC
switchgear are open. Touching live components results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Do not touch any live components.
• Switch off the inverter.
• After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15minutes before opening it to allow the capacitors to discharge
completely.
• Ensure that no voltage is present.
• Do not remove protective covers.
• Observe the warning messages.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock when entering the PV field
Ground-fault monitoring does not provide protection from personal injury. PV modules which are grounded with
ground-fault monitoring discharge voltage to ground. Entering the PV field can result in lethal electric shocks.
• Ensure that the insulation resistance of the PV field exceeds the minimum value. The minimum value of the
insulation resistance is: 1 kΩ.
• Before entering the PV field, switch the PV modules to insulated operation.
• Configure the PV power plant as a closed electrical operating area.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric arc if there are tools inside the product
When reconnecting or during operation, an electric arc can occur if there are tools in the product creating a
conductive connection between the live components. This can result in death or serious injury.
• Before commissioning or reconnection, verify that no tools are inside the product.
WARNING
Danger to life from electric shock if the product is not locked
If the product is not locked, unauthorized persons will have access to live components carrying lethal voltages.
Touching live components can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.
• Always close and lock the product.
• Remove the keys.
• Store the keys in a safe place.
• Ensure that no unauthorized persons have access to the closed electrical operating area.

SMA Solar Technology AG
Maintenance Manual 11SCCP-JP-B1-WA-en-22
WARNING
Danger to life due to blocked escape routes
In hazardous situations, blocked escape routes can lead to death or serious injury. Opening the doors of two
products located opposite each other can block the escape route. It is imperative that the escape route is freely
accessible at all times.
• An escape route must be available at all times. Make sure the minimum passage width of the escape route
meets local standards.
• Do not place any objects in the escape route area.
• Remove all tripping hazards from escape routes.
CAUTION
Risk of burns due to hot components
Some components of the product can get very hot during operation. Touching these components can cause burns.
• Observe the warnings on all components.
• During operation, do not touch any components marked with such warnings.
• After switching off the product, wait until any hot components have cooled down sufficiently.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
NOTICE

Position Designation
ASwitch position Stop
BSwitch position Start
Switch position Start
If the key switch is turned to Start, a motor drive switches the DC switchgear on and the inverter switches from the
operating state "Stop" to the operating state "Grid monitoring". Provided that there is sufficient irradiation and a valid
utility grid connection, the inverter switches to feed-in operation. If there is insufficient irradiation and the input voltage
is therefore too low, the inverter remains in the operating state "Grid monitoring".
Switch position Stop
If the key switch is turned to Stop while the inverter is in the operating state "Grid monitoring", a motor drive switches
the DC switchgear off. The inverter switches to the operating state "Stop". If the key switch is turned to Stop while the
inverter is in the operating state "MPP load operation", the inverter switches to the operating state "Shutdown". Once
shutdown is complete, the AC contactor and the DC switchgear are opened automatically and the inverter switches to
the operating state "Stop".
