2.1 Proper use
The device is a trans for merless PV inverter which converts the direct current of the PV generator into grid-compatible three-phase alternating current and then feeds the three-phase alternating current into the public power grid.
The device is built using state-of-the-art technology and in accordance with the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, improper use may cause lethal hazards for the operator or third parties, or may result in damage to the product and other property.
The device is intended for indoor and outdoor applications and may only be used in countries for which it has been approved or for which it has been released by KACO new energy and the grid operator.1 Operate the device only with a permanent connection to the public power grid. The country and grid type selection must be commensurate with the respective location and grid type.
The requirements of the grid operator must be met for grid connection to take place. The permission of the relevant authorities may also be required in order to secure authorisation to connection to the grid.
The name plate must be permanently attached to the product and must be in legible condition.

2.2 Improper use of the product
Any other or additional use is not considered proper or intended use and can lead to an annulment of the product guarantee. This includes:

• Use of a distribution system that is not described (grid type)

2.5 Residual risks
Lethal voltages are still present in the connections and cables of the device even after the device has been switched off and disconnected!
Severe injuries or death may occur if the cables and/or terminals/busbars in the device are touched.

• The device must be mounted in a fixed position before being connected electrically.
• Comply with all safety regulations and current technical connection specifications of the responsible power supply company.
• The device is only permitted to be opened and serviced by a qualified electrician.
• Switch off the grid voltage by turning off the external circuit breakers.
• Check that all AC and DC cables are completely free of current using a clip-on ammeter.
• Do not touch the cables and/or terminals/busbars when switching the device on and off.
• Keep the device closed when in operation.

Risk of fatal injury due to contact voltages
XL Version: Removing the plug connections before disconnecting the device from the PV generator may lead to injuries and damage the device.

• During installation: Electrically disconnect the DC positive and DC negative from the protective earth (PE).
• Disconnect the device from the PV generator using the integrated DC isolator switch.
• Using a clip-on ammeter, check that there is no current in any of the DC cables before disconnecting the connectors one after the other.

Dangerous voltage due to two operating voltages
Severe injuries or death may occur if the cables and/or terminals/busbars in the device are touched. The discharge time of the capacitors is up to 5 minutes.

• Only appropriately qualified electricians authorised by the mains supply network operator are permitted to open and maintain the device.
• Observe warnings on the device housing warning label.
• Before opening the device: Disconnect the AC and DC sides and wait at least 5 minutes.

Risk of burns due to hot housing components!
Housing components can become hot during operation.

• During operation, only touch the housing cover on the device.

Damage to the device from electrostatic discharge
Components inside the device can be damaged beyond repair by static discharge.

• Observe the ESD protective measures.
• Before touching a component, ground it by touching an earthed object.

Property damage as a result of condensation
During pre-assembly of the device, moisture can penetrate into the interior via the dust-protected threaded connections. The resulting condensate can cause damage to the device during installation and start-up.

• Prior to installation, check the inner area for condensation and if necessary, allow it to dry sufficiently before installation.
• Store in accordance with the technical data > Environmental data – see Manual http://www.kaco-newenergy.com/de/downloads in the „String-inverter/manual“ category.

2.6 Monitoring and protection functions
The following monitoring and protection functions are integrated in the device:

• RCMU (Residual Current Monitoring Unit)
• Overvoltage conductor / varistor to protect the power semiconductors from high-energy transients on the grid and generator sides.
• Device temperature monitoring system
• EMC filter to protect the inverter from high-frequency grid interference
• Grid-side varistors grounded to earth to protect the product against burst and surge pulses
• Anti-islanding detection according to the current standards.
• Isolation detection / residual current monitoring and disconnection function to detect isolation faults

NOTE
If the device is connected, the overvoltage conductors / varistors contained in the device have an impact on the electrical system insulation resistance test as per HD 60364-6 / IEC 60364-6 Low-voltage installations Part 6: Verification.
IEC 60364-6 6.4.3.3 describes two options for this case. The first option is to disconnect devices with an overvoltage conductor or, if this is not practicable, then the test voltage can be reduced to 250V.

4 The “Max. input current” is the maximal theoretical value for operation with full power when the feed-in power is low. The device is limited to the maximum AC power. The “Max. short-circuit current (ISC max)” defines together with open circuit voltage (UD Coax) the characteristic of the connected PV generator. This is the relevant value for string sizing and is the absolute maximal limit for in-verger protection. The connected PV-Generator must be designed, that the max short circuit current is below or equal to the ISC max of the inverter under all foreseeable conditions and therefore complies with IEC 61730 Class A. In no condition the design may result in a greater short circuit current than IS Coax of the inverter [See section 7.6.5 Page 301.
