Warranty and Safety Conditions 3. Warranty and Safety Conditions WARNING: The electronics in the power supply system are designed for an indoor, clean environment. When installed in a dusty and/or corrosive environment, outdoor or indoor, it is important to: • Install an appropriate filter on the enclosure door, or on the room’s air conditioning system. Installation of filters may result in derating of module.
Warranty and Safety Conditions 3.3 Installation • This product is intended to be installed only in restricted access areas as defined by UL60950 and in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or equivalent agencies and in a temperature-regulated, indoor area that is relatively free of conductive contaminants.
Warranty and Safety Conditions 3.3.2 Surge and transients The mains (AC) supply of the modular inverter system shall be equipped with Lightning surge suppression and Transient voltage surge suppression suitable for the application. Follow manufacturer’s recommendation for installation. Selecting a device with an alarm relay for function failure is advised. All sites are considered to have a working lightning surge suppression device in service and installed close enough to ensure effective protection in accordance with best industry practice.
ECI Technology 4. ECI Technology A Sierra module is a triple port converter built with ECI technology. This module delivers pure sinusoidal output and ripple free DC output from AC mains or battery. The below block diagram gives an explicit description of the topology and its operation. ECI technology has AC to DC, DC to AC, and DC to DC converters to provide constant and disturbance-free output power regardless of the input source.
ECI Technology 4.1 AC-AC mode In AC-AC mode, the AC Mains is the primary source and DC source works as a backup. When AC mains is present, the Sierra module takes energy from the AC source and feed to: • AC Load via a double conversation to provide a pure sine wave. •...
