DISCONNECT SWITCH
The inverter is equipped with an AC disconnect (power OFF) to stop power
conversion within the inverter. Before accessing the interior of the cabinet, this
disconnect must be in the OFF position. Since this disconnect only stops power
conversion within the inverter, both the external (or optional inverter integrated) DC
(photovoltaic array) and AC (utility grid) circuits must be isolated in order to fully
ensure the inverter is de-energized. Wait five minutes for the inverter to de-energize
before working on the inverter.
