Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Warnings

Please review the following safety guidelines, and observe them when handling the

equipment.

Always power down the inverter before opening the unit. Perform the following

steps:

Switch the inverter’s ON/OFF switch to OFF, and wait five minutes for the

HANDLING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Symbols Information

The following safety symbols are used in this document. Familiarize yourself with the

symbols and their meaning before installing or operating the system.

WARNING!

Denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not correctly

performed or adhered to, could result in injury or loss of life. Do not proceed

beyond a warning note until the indicated conditions are fully understood and

met.

CAUTION!

Denotes a hazard. It calls attention to a procedure that, if not correctly

performed or adhered to, could result in damage or destruction of the

product. Do not proceed beyond a caution sign until the indicated conditions

are fully understood and met.

NOTE

Denotes additional information about the current subject.

IMPORTANTSAFETYFEATURE

Denotes information about safety issues.

Warning!

To reduce the risk of injury, read all instructions in this document.

WARNING!

When servicing or replacing SolarEdge equipment, instructions in the

SolarEdge Inverter Installation Guide must be followed to maintain the integrity

of the PV hazard control system. SolarEdge Power Optimizers and/or inverters

may only be replaced with SolarEdge Power Optimizers and/or inverters. Third

party equipment is not compatible with SolarEdge equipment.

WARNING!

Using this equipment in a manner not specified by SolarEdge in this document

may impair the protection provided by this equipment.

WARNING!

The inverter cover must be opened only after switching the inverter ON/OFF/P

switch located at the bottom of the inverter to OFF. This disables the DC voltage

inside the inverter. Wait five minutes before opening the cover. Otherwise, there

is a risk of electric shock from energy stored in the capacitors.

HANDLING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6

Three Phase Inverter with SetApp Configuration



WARNING!

Before operating the inverter, ensure that the inverter grounded properly. This

product must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring system, or

an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors

and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product.

WARNING!

Opening the inverter and repairing or testing under power must be performed

only by qualified service personnel familiar with this inverter.

WARNING!

SafeDC complies with IEC60947-3 when installing the system with a worst case

SafeDC voltage (under fault conditions) < 120V.

The worst case voltage is defined as: Voc, max+ (String Length-1)*1V, where:

Voc,max = Maximum Voc (at lowest temperature) of the PV modules in the

string (for a string with multiple modules, use the max value)

String Length = number of Power Optimisers in the string

CAUTION!

This unit must be operated according to the technical specification datasheet

provided with the unit.

CAUTION!

HEAVY OBJECT. To avoid muscle strain or back injury, use proper lifting

techniques, and if required - a lifting aid.

NOTE

The symbol appears at grounding points on the SolarEdge equipment. This

symbol is also used in this manual.

7 Safety Symbols Information

NOTE

SolarEdge inverters can be installed in sites with an alternative power source

such as a generator. SolarEdge requires installing a physical or electronic

interlock, which will signal to the inverter when the grid has been

disconnected. Interlock procurement, installation, maintenance and support

are the responsibility of the installer. Damage to the inverter due to incorrect

interlock installation or use of an interlock that is incompatible with the

SolarEdge system will render the SolarEdge warranty invalid.

For more information on connecting an alternative power source

to SolarEdge inverter, refer to

Three Phase Inverter with SetApp Configuration

Chapter 1: Introducing the SolarEdge Power

Harvesting System

The SolarEdge power harvesting solution maximizes the power output from any type of

solar photovoltaic (PV) installation while reducing the average cost per watt. The

following sections describe each of the system’s components.

Figure 1: The SolarEdge power – harvesting system components

Power Optimiser

The Power Optimisers are DC-DC converters connected to PV modules in order to

maximize power harvesting by performing independent Maximum Power Point

Tracking (MPPT) at the module level.

Each Power Optimiser also transmits module performance data over the DC power line

to the inverter.

Inverter

The inverter efficiently converts DC power from the modules into AC power that can be

fed into the main ACservice of the site and from there to the grid. The inverter also

receives the monitoring data from each power optimizer and transmits it to a central

server (the monitoring platform; requires Internet connection).

The Connection Unit has a manually operated switch for disconnecting the DC power

of a SolarEdge system. The Connection Unit is located below the inverter and is

connected to the inverter with AC and DC wires.
