Planning the installation
Inverter installation location
Installation clearances and air circulation
► Ensure sufcient air circulation. Warm air must be
able to escape from below. Leave enough space
around the inverter.
► Note the Operating temperature range without derat-
ing and the Operating temperature range.
When the Operating temperature range without derat-ing is exceeded the inverter reduces the AC power
fed into the mains.
When the Operating temperature range is exceeded,
the inverter stops feeding AC power into the mains.
This is normal operating behavior for the inverter and
is necessary to protect the internal electronics.
>20 cm>20 cm
>20 cm>20 cm
► Use mounting materials (dowels, screws etc.) that are
suitable for the wall or the mounting system, as well
as the heavy weight of the inverter.
► Mount the inverter on a vibration-free wall to avoid
disruptions.
► When using the inverter in residential areas or in
buildings with animals, possible noise emissions can
be disturbing. Therefore, carefully choose the place of
installation.
► Mount the inverter on a reproof wall.
Mounting alignment
► Mount the inverter vertically.
Installation location of the inverter
► Attach the inverter so that the information on the
display can be read and the buttons can be operated
without any problems.
► The inverter is heavy. The wall has to be able to bear
the heavy weight of the inverter.
► Always use the mounting plate supplied with the
inverter.
Outdoor installations
► Indoor installation is generally preferable. The inverter
has a protection rating of IP65 and can therefore
be outdoors as well. When installed outdoors, the
inverter should nevertheless be protected by a roof
against direct solar irradiation, rain and snow, in order
to ensure sufcient air circulation.

Connecting the inverter to the mains (AC)
General information
Regulations in your country may require that
a mains-connected battery storage system
in isolated operation (TN system) implement
a connection between the neutral conductor
(simulated star point) and the protective earth
conductor (main grounding rail).
The same may be required for battery storage
systems intended to run exclusively in isolated
operation.
In both cases, contact Delta customer service
before you decide on a technical solution.
► Always follow the specic regulations of your country
or region.
► Always follow the specic regulations of your energy
provider.
► Install all the stipulated safety and protective devices
(such as automatic circuit breakers and/or surge protection devices).
► Protect the inverter with a suitable upstream 32 A
circuit breaker.
Residual current circuit breaker
Due to its design, the inverter cannot supply the mains
with DC residual current. This means that the inverter
meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0100-712.
Possible error events were assessed by Delta in accordance with the current installation standards. The assessments showed that no hazards arise from operating the
inverter in combination with an upstream, type A residual
current circuit breaker (FI circuit breaker, RCD). There is
no need to use a type B residual current circuit breaker.
Minimum tripping current of the type A residual current circuit breaker
≥100 mA
Cable requirements
The AC plug provided with the inverter has the following
technical characteristics:
Plug typeAmphenol C16-3
Cable diameter 11 ... 20 mm
Wire cross-section2.5 / 4 / 6 mm
Recommended tightening
torque for clamping screws
≥0.7 Nm
2
The AC plug can only be used with a exible copper cable.
For wire cross-sections from 11 to 13 mm, deenergize the
lead just behind the plug.
Consider the following factors when calculating the cable
diameter:
●Cable material
●Temperature conditions
●Cable length
●Installation type
●Voltage drop
●Loss of power in the cable
► Always follow the installation regulations for AC
cables applicable in your country.
► France: Follow the installation regulations of UTE 15-
712-1. This standard contains the requirements for
minimum cable diameters and for avoiding overheating due to high currents.
► Germany: Follow the installation regulations of
VDE 0100-712. This standard contains the requirements for minimum cable diameters and for avoiding
overheating due to high currents.
The required tripping current of the residual cur-
rent circuit breaker depends rst and foremost
on the quality of the solar modules, the size
of the PV system, and the ambient conditions
(e.g. humidity). The tripping current must not,
however, be less than the specied minimum
tripping current.
Integrated residual current monitoring unit
The integrated, universal current-sensitive residual cur-
rent monitoring unit (RCMU) is certied in accordance with
VDE 0126 1-1/A1:2012-02 §6.6.2.
Requirements for mains voltage
The mains voltage range is 230 VAC ± 20%.
Connecting the power meter
The installation location of the power meter depends on
the features of the specic site. Installation on a DIN rail in
the meter cabinet is preferable.
The power meter can alternatively be installed in a sepa-
rate box inside of which the power meter is protected from
touch and external inuences. A DIN rail is included in the
scope of supply.
The current clamps (1 for P1E, 3 for P3E) must be laid
around the phase cable (L for P1E; L1, L2 and L3 for P3E).
Always comply with applicable regulations when installing
the power meter.
