2 Installation SMA Solar Technology AG IMI Detection INFORMATION The inverter has a built-in IMI/RCMU (Insulation Monitoring Cables with multi-strand, fine-strand or extra Interrupter / Residual Current Monitoring Unit). The inverter fine-strand conductors can be used for AC acts on residual DC current and a sudden change in the connection (see figure 2.15 and 2.16).
SMA Solar Technology AG 2 Installation LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD Insufficient grounding of the inverter can lead to serious injuries or lethal injuries. • Ensure the correct grounding of the devices by a certified electrical installer. 2.7 Cable Entry The mounting brackets for the cable glands are already pre-mounted.
2 Installation SMA Solar Technology AG 2.9 PV Connection 2.9.1 External PV Array Junction Do NOT connect PV to ground! Boxes PV strings must be connected to the DC input via an external PV array junction box. The PV array junction box connects the PV strings of the PV array and protects the individual strings against overcurrent with appropriate fuse protection.
