The unit must be stored in original package and desiccant must be left in the unpacking, please notify the shipping company and GROWATT NEW ENERGY package.
Both AC and DC voltage sources are terminated inside the PV Inverter. Please disconnect these circuits before servicing. Though the packaging box of Growatt is durable, please treat the This unit is designed to feed power to the public power grid (utility) packing box gently and avoid dispose the packing box.
5.2 Selecting the installation location This is guidance for installer to choose a suitable installation location, to avoid potential damages to device and operators. Raintight or wet location hubs that comply with the requirements in the Standard for Conduit, Tubing, and Cable Fittings, UL 514B, are to be used. The unit shall be mounted at least 914 mm (3 feet) above the ground.
There must be sufficient clearance between the individual inverters to ensure that the cooling air of the adjacent inverter is not taken in. If necessary, increase the clearance spaces and make sure there is enough fresh air supply to ensure sufficient cooling of the inverters. 5.3 Mounting the Inverter with bracket In order to avoid electrical shock or other injury, inspect existing electronic or plumbing installations before...
After confirming the inverter is fixed reliably, fasten four M6 safety-lock Fix the mounting frame as the figure shows. Do not make the screws to sokets head cap screws on the left and right side firmly to prevent the be flush to the wall. Instead, leave 2 to 4mm exposed. inverter from being lifted off the bracket.
The unit converts the DC current generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules to DC load circuit fuse or breaker grid-compliant alternating current and feed-in into the electricity grid. Growatt Growatt Inverter inverters are built according to all required safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use...
Connection of the AC cable Before wiring the inverter, the installer needs to determine the grid configuration that the inverter will be connected to. The Growatt inverter is default set for utility interconnection with 240Vac from factory. However, you can choose the Net MODEL through the LCD to set the inverter to be fitted the commonly used utility configuration types shown in the figure 5.6.3.
