D) Mains Voltage Output; E) Operation - VOLTCRAFT MSW 300 Operating Instructions Manual

d) Mains voltage output

• Do not pull the mains plug from the mains socket of the inverter by pulling the
cable.
• Never connect the 230 v output of the inverter to another 230 v source (e.g. a
mains socket). The inverter must not be used to feed mains voltage into an electri-
cal building installation.
• If devices with protective ground plugs are connected to the mains
socket of the inverter, the inverter may need to be earthed. For
this, there is a corresponding connection at the inverter available
(marked with the earthing symbol, see symbol on the right).
The earthing line used (green/yellow cable) must have a cross-section of at least
6 mm².

e) Operation

• Do not operate the inverter unsupervised.
• Never touch the blank live contacts, connection terminals or cable lugs on the
input side of the inverter.
• Even after triggering the internal protective device, parts of the inverter may still
be live!
• The housing of the inverter will heat up in operation (depending on the output).
Therefore, always observe sufficient ventilation of the inverter; never cover it in
operation. Never close the ventilation slots of the inverter.
Keep a minimum distance of 5 cm from other devices around the housing of the
inverter.
• Never operate the inverter immediately after it has been taken from a cold room
to a warm room. The resulting condensation may lead to malfunctions or damage!
Moreover, there is the risk of a fatal electric shock!
Let the inverter reach room temperature before connecting and operating it. This
may take several hours!
• Only operate the inverter in a moderate climate, never in a tropical climate.

"Technical data".
