Safety

2.1 Intended Use
The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy is a transformerless hybrid inverter with 2 MPP trackers and a battery connection that feeds the direct current of the PV array into the connected battery or converts it to grid-compliant three-phase current and then feeds it into the utility grid. The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy also converts the direct current supplied by the battery into gridcompliant three-phase current. In a system with additional PV inverters, the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy can convert the three-phase current generated by the PV inverters into direct current and feed it into the battery.
The Sunny Tripower Smart Energy has a backup function. In the event of a power outage, the Sunny Tripower Smart Energy can continue to supply selected circuits with power from the battery or PV system.

This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working.
The product has been designed and tested in accordance with international safety requirements. As with all electrical or electronical devices, there are residual risks despite careful construction. To prevent personal injury and property damage and to ensure long-term operation of the product, read this section carefully and observe all safety information at all times.
DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live system components in backup mode
Even if the AC miniature circuit breaker and the DC load-break switch of the inverter are disconnected, parts of the system may still be live when the battery is switched on due to backup mode.

• Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as described in this document.

DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched when working on the battery
The DC cables connected to the battery may be live. Touching live DC cables results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.

• Prior to performing any work on the battery, disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources as described in this document.

DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components or DC cables are touched.
The DC cables connected to a battery or a PV module may be live. Touching live DC cables results in death or serious injury due to electric shock.

• Disconnect the product and battery from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected before working on the device.
• Observe all safety information of the battery manufacturer.
• Do not touch non-insulated parts or cables.
• Do not disconnect the DC connectors under load.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when live components are touched on opening the product.
High voltages are present in the live parts and cables inside the product during operation.
Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Do not open the product.

DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock when touching live system components in case of a ground fault
If a ground fault occurs, parts of the system may still be live. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Disconnect the product and battery from voltage sources and make sure it cannot be reconnected before working on the device.
• Only touch the cables of the PV modules on their insulation.
• Do not touch any parts of the substructure or frame of the PV array.
• Do not connect PV strings with ground faults to the inverter.

DANGER
Danger to life due to electric shock in case of overvoltages and if surge protection is missing
Overvoltages (e. g. in the event of a flash of lightning) can be further conducted into the building and to other connected devices in the same network via the network cables or other data cables if there is no surge protection. Touching live parts and cables results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Ensure that all devices in the same network and the battery are integrated into the existing surge protection.
• When laying the network cables or other data cables outdoors, it must be ensured that a suitable surge protection device is provided at the transition point of the cable from the product or the battery outdoors to the inside of a building.
• The Ethernet interface of the product is classified as “TNV-1” and offers protection against overvoltages of up to 1.5 kV.

WARNING
Danger to life due to fire and explosion
In rare cases, an explosive gas mixture can be generated inside the product under fault conditions. In this state, switching operations can cause a fire inside the product or explosion.
Death or lethal injuries due to hot or flying debris can result.

• In the event of a fault, do not perform any direct actions on the product.
• Ensure that unauthorized persons have no access to the product.
• Do not operate the DC load-break switch on the inverter in case of an error.
• Disconnect the PV array from the inverter via an external disconnection device. If there is no disconnecting device present, wait until no more DC power is applied to the inverter.
• Disconnect the battery from the product via an external disconnection device. Do not operate the DC load-break switch on the product.

A fire may occur due to incorrect charging of fully discharged batteries. This can result in death or serious injury.

• Before commissioning the system, verify that the battery is not fully discharged.
• Do not commission the system if the battery is fully discharged.
• If the battery is fully discharged, contact the battery manufacturer for further proceedings.
• Only charge fully discharged batteries as instructed by the battery manufacturer.

WARNING
Danger to life due to burns caused by electric arcs through short-circuit currents
Short-circuit currents in the battery can cause heat build-up and electric arcs. Heat build-up and electric arcs may result in lethal injuries due to burns.

• Disconnect the battery from all voltages sources prior to performing any work on the battery.
• Observe all safety information of the battery manufacturer.

WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock from destruction of the measuring device due to overvoltage
Overvoltage can damage a measuring device and result in voltage being present in the enclosure of the measuring device. Touching the live enclosure of the measuring device results in death or lethal injuries due to electric shock.

• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range of 1000 V or higher.

CAUTION
Risk of burns due to hot enclosure parts
The enclosure and the enclosure lid may get hot during operation. The DC load- break switch can not become hot.
