This manual describes the assembly, installation, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting of the following model(s) of Energizer Solar Inverters: Energizer Force 3S | Energizer Force 3.6S | Energizer Force 4.6S | Energizer Force 5S | Energizer Force 6S Note! Please keep this manual where it will be accessible at all times.
Prior to touching any part of the inverter please ensure surfaces and equipment are under touch safe temperatures and voltage potentials before proceeding. 2.2 PE Connection and Leakage Current PV System Residual Current Factors ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Energizer Solar Inverter | Installer Manual...
All Energizer solar inverters incorporate a certified internal RCD (Residual Current Device) to protect against possible electrocution in case of a malfunction of the PV array, cables or inverter (DC). The RCD in Energizer solar inverters can detect leakage on the DC side. There are 2 trip thresholds for the RCD as required by the DIN VDE 0126-1-1 standard.

Do not install in places where gas or flammable substances may be present. Avoid electromagnetic interference that can compromise the correct operation of electronic equipment. The slope of the wall should be within ±5°. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Energizer Solar Inverter | Installer Manual...
Choose the wall location you want to install the inverter. Place the bracket on the wall and mark the position of the 3 holes from bracket. Drill holes with an electric drill, making sure the holes are at least 50mm deep, and then tighten the expansion tubes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Energizer Solar Inverter | Installer Manual [10]...
Step 1: PV String Connection This series of Energizer solar inverters can be connected with 2-strings of PV modules. Please select suitable PV modules with high reliability and quality. Open circuit voltage of module array connected should be less than 600V, and operating voltage should be within the MPPT voltage range.
