Installing the PowerBoxes

SolarEdge Installation Guide for Three Phase Inverters – EU
Applicable Notes and Warnings
The following notes and warnings apply when installing the SolarEdge
PowerBoxes:
NOTE:
The PowerBox is waterproof and has no need for shelter. The PowerBox can be
placed in any orientation, meaning there is no up side.
NOTE:
The PowerBox should be mounted in a location that is either ventilated or that has a
free space of air around it for heat dissipation.
NOTE
:
Mounting brackets are suited to either a flat surface or a pole and can be attached
to any surface texture.
CAUTION:
If installing directly on the module or module frame, first consult the module
manufacturer for guidance regarding location and the impact on the module warranty.
NOTE:
The instructions for mounting the AOB and TFI PowerBoxes to the PV module are
nearly identical. The only difference is that an AOB PowerBox connects to a single
PV module and a TFI PowerBox can connect to up to four PV modules.
IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE:
PV modules with SolarEdge PowerBoxes are safe. They only carry a low safety
voltage before the Three Phase Inverter is turned on.
MPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE:
I
As long as the PowerBoxes are unconnected to the inverter and the inverter is OFF,
the PowerBoxes will output a safe 1V voltage during installation.
WARNING!
Before performing this step, turn OFF the Three Phase Inverter by turning off the
ON/OFF switch at the bottom of the inverter and the DC switch of the main circuit board.
All inverters in an installation site should be switched OFF in this manner. This step is
required to verify that the PowerBoxes will output a safe 1V voltage during installation.
