System Decommissioning Disconnecting Inverter Danger of burns! Even if the inverter is shut down, it may still be hot and cause burns. Wear protec- tive gloves before operating the inverter after it cools down. For maintenance or other service work, the inverter must be switched off. Proceed as follows to disconnect the inverter from the AC and DC power sources. -
