Choosing the
location of the
inverter
Please note the following criteria when choosing a location for the inverter:
≥ 200 mm
(≥ 7.87 inch)
≥ 200 mm
(≥ 7.87 inch)
≥ 440 mm
(≥ 17.32 inch)
≥ 250 mm
(≥ 9.84 inch)
≥ 225 mm
(≥ 8.86 inch)
≥ 270 mm
(≥ 10.63 inch)
≥ 150 mm
(≥ 5.91 inch)
≥ 100 mm
(≥ 3.94 inch)
-25°C - +60°C
0 - 100%
Only install on a solid, non-flam-
mable surface.
Max. ambient temperatures:
-25 °C – +60 °C
Relative humidity:
0-100%
If the inverter is installed in a switch
cabinet or similar enclosed space,
ensure sufficient heat dissipation
with forced-air ventilation.
For detailed information on the di-
mensions of the inverter, see chapter
Fronius Symo GEN24 3-5 kW on
page 169.
When installing the inverter on the outer walls of cattle sheds, it is important
to maintain a minimum clearance of 2 m between the inverter and the ventila-
tion and building openings on all sides.
The following substrates are permissible for installation:
-
Walls (corrugated metal walls [mounting rails], brick walls, concrete walls,
or other non-flammable surfaces sufficiently capable of bearing loads)
-
Mast or support (installed using mounting rails, behind the PV modules
directly on the PV mounting system)
-
Flat roofs (if installing on a film roof, make sure that the films comply
with the fire protection requirements and are not highly flammable. En-
sure compliance with the national provisions.)
-
Covered car park roofs (no overhead installation)
The inverter is suitable for indoor installation.
The inverter is suitable for outdoor installation.
Due to its protection class IP 66, the inverter is insensitive to
water jets from all directions and can also be used in humid en-
vironments.
In order to minimise the heating up of the inverter, do not ex-
pose it to direct insolation.
The inverter should be installed in a protected location, for ex-
ample, below the PV modules or under an overhanging roof.
