Cabling
When routing cables, ensure that a distance of at least 30 mm exists between the cables
and heat-generating components or areas. This prevents damage to the insulation layer of
the cables.
Bind cables of the same type together. When routing cables of different types, ensure that
they are at least 30 mm away from each other.
Ensure that the cables used in a grid-tied PV power system are properly connected and
insulated and meet specifications.
When climbing a ladder, take the following precautions to reduce risks and ensure
safety:
− Keep your body steady.
− Do not climb higher than the fourth rung of the ladder from the top.
− Ensure that your body's center of gravity does not shift outside the legs of the
ladder.
Drilling Holes
When drilling holes into a wall or floor, observe the following safety precautions:
Wear goggles and protective gloves when drilling holes.
When drilling holes, protect the equipment from shavings. After drilling, clean up any
shavings that have accumulated inside or outside the equipment.
When moving the equipment by hand, wear protective gloves to prevent injuries.
1.6 Commissioning
When the equipment is powered on for the first time, ensure that professional personnel set
parameters correctly. Incorrect settings may result in inconsistency with local certification and
affect the normal operation of the equipment.
High voltage generated by the equipment during operation may cause an electric shock, which
could result in death, serious injury, or serious property damage. Prior to maintenance, power
off the equipment and strictly comply with the safety precautions in this document and
relevant documents.
