SMA MEDIUM VOLTAGE POWER STATION 500SC-JP - Installation Sequence

Damage to the product due to non-removal of transport lock
The product is provided with a special security lock for transport to protect it from moisture. Non-removal of the
transport lock can cause condensation and overheating during operation.
• Prior to installation work, ensure that all transport locks on the product are removed.
DC-side disconnection
The DC main distributions and DC subdistributions should be equipped with load-break switches or circuit
breakers. Load-break switches or circuit breakers enable trouble-free DC-side disconnection of the inverter.
5.2 Installation Sequence
The sequence of installation work given in this section is recommended by SMA. It is important to begin the installation
with the preparatory work and the grounding connection. Therefore, SMA recommends that you adhere to this
sequence to avoid problems during installation. Some of the installation work will only need to be carried out for
certain options.
