hearing protection.

10 Safety instructions

Installation and maintenance safety

 Electrical safety

These warnings are for all personnel who do work on the inverter, its input and output

cables, the transformer or photovoltaic generator.

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, or damage to the

equipment.

• If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do electrical installation or

maintenance work.

• Standard IEC/EN 62109-2 (section 4.8.3.6) requires that, as the inverter is not

provided with full protection against shock hazard on the photovoltaic array, you install

and use the inverter in a closed electrical operating area. There is no RCD protection

inside the inverter.

• Do not do work on the photovoltaic generator or the inverter or its input or output

cables when the inverter is connected to an electrical power system or to the

photovoltaic generator.

• Before you do work in the inverter cabinet, isolate the AC line cables and busbars from

the electrical power system with the disconnector of the power system transformer.

Also, isolate the inverter from the photovoltaic generator with the safety switch of the

generator or by other means. The AC main switch or optional breaker do not isolate

the AC output cables and terminals of the inverter from the electrical power system.

The DC main switch does not isolate the DC input fuses, cables or terminals from the

DC voltage supplied by the photovoltaic generator.

• Before you do work in the inverter cabinet, set to off or isolate the auxiliary voltage

supply from the inverter.

• Do not operate the inverter with the doors open, even in fault tracking conditions. The

inverter doors act as arc hazard protection. If a highly unlikely arc flash incident

happens when the inverter doors are open, even the arc-flash proof protection

equipment might not provide sufficient protection.

• Before you do work on the inverter, apply a temporary grounding for work.

• Do not work on the control cables when power is applied to the inverter or to the

external control circuits. Externally supplied control circuits can cause dangerous

voltages in the inverter even when the main power on the inverter is off.

• Live parts in the inverter cabinet are protected against direct contact when all

protective plastic covers and metallic shrouds are in place.

• Do not do insulation or voltage withstand tests on the inverter or inverter modules.

• Obey all local installation safety standards. This can require the use of 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 according to local regulations.

• With the grounding options selected, one of the poles of the photovoltaic generator is

grounded, and therefore, the other pole has full voltage against ground (up to 1000 V).

• When the photovoltaic generator cells are exposed to light (even if it is dim), the

generator supplies DC voltage to the inverter.

Safety instructions 11

Grounding

These instructions are for all personnel who are responsible for the grounding of the

inverter.

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, damage to the

equipment and electromagnetic interference.

• If you are not a qualified electrician, do not do grounding work.

• Always ground the inverter and adjoining equipment. This is necessary for personnel

safety. Correct grounding decreases electromagnetic emissions and interference.

• Make sure that the conductivity of the grounding conductors is sufficient. Obey the

local regulations.

• In a multiple-inverter installation, connect each inverter separately to the protective

earth (PE) busbar of the switch board or the transformer.

• When you use shielded AC power cables, do a 360° high-frequency grounding of the

cable entries at the cabinet lead-through to decrease electromagnetic interference.

Connect the cable shields to the protective earth (PE) to meet safety regulations.

• External EMC filters are not permitted at the AC output of the inverter.

• Do not install the inverter on a TN (grounded) system.

Note:

• You can use power cable shields as grounding conductors only if their conductivity is

sufficient.

• As the normal touch current of the inverter is more than 3.5 mA AC or 10 mA DC, use

a fixed protective earth connection. Refer to standard IEC/EN 62109, 5.2.5.

Electric welding

WARNING! Do not fasten the cabinet by electric welding and do not perform any

welding work for the inverter housing when inverters are installed. ABB does not

assume any liability for damages caused by electric welding as the welding circuit

can damage electronic circuits in the cabinet.

12 Safety instructions

 Performing 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.

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.

• Disconnect the inverter from the AC supply (normally a disconnector or a breaker

on the HV side of the main transformer), because the AC main switch-

disconnectors do not remove the voltage from the AC output busbars of the

inverter.

• Disconnect the inverter from the DC power supply (usually the DC circuit breakers

of the solar array junction boxes or the DC combiner box) because the DC main

switches do not remove the voltage from the inverter input busbars.

• Open the AC main disconnection device +AC-Q2 (AC breaker or AC switch

disconnector), the DC main switch disconnetor +DC-Q1, the auxiliary power main

switch +AC-Q30 or three phase input from external auxiliary power supply source.

• Make sure that reconnection is not possible. Lock all of the disconnectors in the

open position and attach a warning notice to them.

• After you disconnect the inverter, wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit

capacitors discharge before you continue.

3. Protect any other energized parts in the work location against contact.

4. Take special precautions when you do work near bare conductors.

5. Measure that the installation is not energized.

• Make sure that the voltage measurement device works correctly with a live

voltage.

• Use a voltage measurement device such as a multimeter with an impedance of at

least 1 Mohm and voltage measurement range up to 1000 V DC.

• Make sure that the voltage between the inverter AC output terminals (L1, L2, L3)

and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.

• Make sure that the voltage between the inverter module UDC+ and UDC-

terminals and the grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.

• Make sure that the voltage between the DC input terminals DC+ and DC- and the

grounding (PE) busbar is close to 0 V.

6. Install temporary grounding as required by the local regulations. Connect the AC and

DC busbars (in both DC sections) to the PE with a temporary grounding tool.

7. Ask the person in control of the electrical installation work for a permit to work.

8. After you finish the work, remove the temporary grounding and tell the person

responsible for work about the completed works. After you make sure that the voltage

can be connected, close the disconnectors.

14 Safety instructions

 General safety

These instructions are for all personnel who install the inverter and do maintenance work

on it.

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, or damage to the

equipment.

• Move the inverter power module carefully:

• Use safety shoes with a metal toe cap and protective gloves.

• Use caution when you move an inverter power module. Do not tilt the module. The

module is heavy. It can topple over if you handle it carelessly.

• Obey the instructions in the PVS800-57B Commissioning and maintenance

manual (3AXD50000048331 [EN]).

• Be aware of the cooling fan blades. The fans can operate for a few seconds after you

disconnect the electrical supply.

• Be aware of hot surfaces. Some parts in the inverter cabinet are hot after you

disconnect the electrical supply.

• Make sure that the debris from the installation work does not go into the inverter.

Electrically conductive debris in the unit can cause damage.

• Do not open the doors of the inverter during a rain or when sand or dust can blow into

the unit. Water or sand in the inverter can cause damage in the unit.

• Do not secure the cabinet by electric welding.

Printed circuit boards

WARNING! Use a grounding wristband when you handle the printed circuit

boards. Do not touch the boards unnecessarily. The boards have components

that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge.

Fiber optic cables

WARNING! Obey these instructions to prevent injury or death, or damage to the

equipment.

• Handle the fiber optic cables with care.

• When you disconnect the cables, hold the connector, not the cable.

• Do not touch the ends of the fibers with bare hands as the ends are extremely

sensitive to dirt.

• Do not bend the fiber optic cables too tightly. The minimum permitted bend

radius is 35 mm (1.4 in.).
