UPDATED bullet points (page 11): Safety in installation and maintenance

Precautions before electrical work

These precautions are for all personnel who do work on the inverter, its input and output cables, the transformer or the photovoltaic generator.

The notice concerns the following PVS800-57 Hardware Manuals:

Code: 3AXD50000217960 Rev AValid: from 21.12.2017 until the release of Rev J of the hardware manualContents: the main new features and changes which are not yet updated to the manual.The headings in this update notice refer to the modified subsections in the original English manual. Each heading also include a page number and a classifier NEW, CHANGED, or DELETED. The page number refers to page number in the original English manual. The classifier describes the type of the modification.

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, or damage to the equipment. You must be a qualified electrician to do installation and service work. Do these steps before you do installation or maintenance work on the inverter.

1. Clearly identify the work location. 2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources.

Open the AC main switch-disconnector (Q1), the DC main switch (Q2) and the auxiliary supply disconnector (Q10) of the inverter.

Open the disconnector of the transformer as the AC main switch-disconnector (Q1) does not remove the voltage from the AC busbars of the inverter.

Open the DC circuit breakers of the solar array junction boxes. The DC main switch (Q2) does not isolate the DC input fuses, cables or terminals from the DC voltage supplied by the photovoltaic generator.

Make sure that reconnection is not possible. Lock the disconnectors to open position and attach a warning notice to them.

After you have disconnected the inverter, always wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you continue.

NEW bullet point (page 14): Safety in installation and maintenance

Electrical safety

These warning are for all personnel who do work on the inverter, its input and output cables, the transformer or the photovoltaic generator.

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, or damage to the equipment. You must be a qualified electrician to do installation and service work. Do these steps before you do installation or maintenance work on the inverter.

1. Clearly identify the work location.

2. Disconnect all possible voltage sources. If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do electrical installation or maintenance work. Obey all installation safety standards. This can require, among other things, the use of personal

protection equipment (PPE), such as arc-proof clothing, arc-proof masks, protective footwear, protective gloves, eye protection and hearing protection. High power inverter installations have high fault currents. Select appropriate arc-proof clothing.

Never work on the photovoltaic generator or the inverter or its input or output cables when the inverter is connected to electrical power system or to the photovoltaic generator. After disconnecting the inverter from the electrical power system and the DC input, always wait for 5 min to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you start working on the inverter, its input and output cables or the photovoltaic generator.

Start-up

NEW safety check (page 99): Start-up procedure

The functioning of the inverter is first tested in the local control mode with the control panel (CDP312R). Thereafter, the control program parameters are set. The start-up procedure is described step-by-step in the table below.

SAFETY

WARNING! Obey the safety instructions during the installation and start-up procedure. See chapter Safety instructions.

Only qualified electricians are allowed to install and start-up the inverter. Step away and out of inverter equipment room or container to wait inverter's first start. This can be done by setting start-up delay to inverter parameters.
