2.1 Intended Use

The SunnyCentral is a PV inverter which converts the direct current generated in the PV modules into grid-compliant
alternating current. An external MV transformer fitted downstream feeds the generated alternating current into the
utility grid.

The product is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The enclosure complies with degree of protection IP54. The inverter is classified under Class4C2 as per

EN60721-3-4 and is suitable for operation in a chemically active environment.
The maximum permissible DC input voltage of the inverter must not be exceeded.
The inverter must only be operated in conjunction with a suitable MV transformer. The MV transformer must be

designed for voltages that arise during pulsed mode of the inverter. The maximum AC voltages to ground are as
follows:

• For the SunnyCentral500CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±800V.

• For the SunnyCentral 630CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±1450V.

• For the SunnyCentral 800CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±1450V.

• For the SunnyCentral 1000CP-JP, the maximum voltage to ground is: ±1600 V.

Do not switch off or adjust settings that affect grid management services without first obtaining approval from the grid
operator.

2.2 Safety Information

This section contains safety information that must be observed at all times when working on or with the product. 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 from electric shock due to live voltage

High voltages are present in the live components of the product. Touching live components results in death or
serious injury due to electric shock.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

• Do not touch any live components.

• Observe all warning messages on the product and in the documentation.

• Observe all safety information of the module manufacturer.

• After switching off the inverter, wait at least 15minutes before opening it to allow the capacitors to discharge
completely (see Section5.2, page13).

DANGER

Danger to life from electric shock due to live DC cables

DC cables connected to PV modules that are exposed to sunlight carry live voltage. Touching live cables results in
death or serious injury due to electric shock.

• Prior to connecting the DC cables, ensure that the DC cables are voltage-free.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the device.

DANGER

Danger to life from electric shock due to ground fault

If a ground fault has occurred, parts of the PV power plant that are supposedly grounded may in fact be live.
Touching incorrectly grounded parts of the PV power plant results in death or serious injuries from electric shock.

• Before working on the PV power plant, ensure that no ground fault is present.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the device.

DANGER

Danger to life from electric shock due to damaged product

Operating a damaged product can lead to hazardous situations that result in death or serious injuries due to
electric shock.

• Only operate the product when it is in a flawless technical condition and safe to operate.

• Check the product regularly for visible damage.

• Make sure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times.

• Make sure that all safety equipment is in good working order.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.

WARNING

Danger to life from electric shock when entering the PV field

Ground-fault monitoring does not provide protection from personal injury. PV modules which are grounded with
ground-fault monitoring discharge voltage to ground. Entering the PV field can result in lethal electric shocks.

• Ensure that the insulation resistance of the PV field exceeds the minimum value. The minimum value of the
insulation resistance is: 1 kΩ.

• Before entering the PV field, switch the PV modules to insulated operation.

• Configure the PV power plant as a closed electrical operating area.

WARNING

Danger to life from electric shock if the product is not locked

If the product is not locked, unauthorized persons will have access to live components carrying lethal voltages.
Touching live components can result in death or serious injury due to electric shock.

• Always close and lock the product.

• Remove the keys.

• Store the keys in a safe place.

• Ensure that no unauthorized persons have access to the closed electrical operating area.

WARNING

Danger to life due to blocked escape routes

In hazardous situations, blocked escape routes can lead to death or serious injury. Opening the doors of two
products located opposite each other can block the escape route. It is imperative that the escape route is freely
accessible at all times.

• An escape route must be available at all times. Make sure the minimum passage width of the escape route
meets local standards.

• Do not place any objects in the escape route area.

• Remove all tripping hazards from escape routes.

CAUTION

Risk of burns due to hot components

Some components of the product can get very hot during operation. Touching these components can cause burns.

• Observe the warnings on all components.

• During operation, do not touch any components marked with such warnings.

• After switching off the product, wait until any hot components have cooled down sufficiently.

• Wear suitable personal protective equipment for all work on the product.
