SMA Solar Technology America LLC 4 Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources Danger to life due to high voltages on the DC-in connecting terminal plate When exposed to sunlight, the PV array generates dangerous direct voltage. Touching the DC conductors can lead to lethal electric shocks. Even if the DC load-break switch of the inverter is in the O, position, there will be dangerous direct voltage present in the DC conductors and on the DC-in connecting terminal plate in the Connection Unit.
5 Disassembling the Defective Power Unit SMA Solar Technology America LLC 5 Disassembling the Defective Power Unit Prior to disassembling the defective Power Unit, all connections between the Power Unit and the Connection Unit must be severed. Only then can the Power Unit be removed from the Connection Unit.
