2.1 Appropriate Usage

The voltage stabilizer connects the Sunny Central with the public power distribution grid in order to secure the internal power supply of the inverter. The voltage stabilizer reduces fluctuating grid voltages in order to ensure a constant power supply to the SunnyCentral.
The voltage stabilizer may only be used with a specially adapted Sunny Central xxxHE-11 device. If a voltage stabilizer is installed later as an upgrade, SMA Solar Technology AG must be contacted about the modification of the inverter.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Following Handling Instructions
High voltages are present in the voltage stabilizer. Failure to follow this manual, the operating instructions and the safety notes may lead to severe injury from electric shock. Only perform work as described in this manual. Observe all safety notes.
Disconnecting the Device
Work on the inverter is only allowed if the power is disconnected and in compliance with the guidelines that apply at the installation location.
• Disconnecting the device:
–grid voltage
• Ensure that the device cannot be reconnected.
• Ensure that no voltage is present in the system.
• Ground and short-circuit.
• Cover or safeguard any adjacent live components.
Error-Free Operation of the Voltage Stabilizer
In case of a ground fault, assume that grounded plant components are still live. Ensure there is no voltage present before touching.
The operation of a damaged voltage stabilizer can lead to serious injuries through electric shock. Operate the voltage stabilizer only if it is in a technically proper and operationally safe status. Operate the voltage stabilizer only if there is no visible damage and check regularly for visible damage. Ensure that all external safety equipment is freely accessible at all times and is checked for proper functioning at least once a year.
Protective Conductor Connection
Also connect the grounding bridge when replacing the voltage stabilizer.
Warning Signs
Warning signs must be easily readable at all times and must be replaced in the event of damage.
Storing the Documentation
Keep this documentation within close reach of the voltage stabilizer. It must be accessible to service and maintenance personnel at all times.

G Temperature monitoring
The temperature circuit monitors the operating temperature of the voltage stabilizer. If the operating temperature of the voltage stabilizer exceeds 50 °C, the Sunny Central will shut down since the voltage stabilizer will no longer be able to ensure a stable power supply.

5.2 Line Circuit Breaker

In order to operate the voltage stabilizer, it is necessary to secure the power supply of the Sunny Central with a 16 A type D line circuit breaker. The line circuit breaker is located in the station sub-distribution.
• Check which line circuit breaker is installed.
☑ A 16 A type D line circuit breaker is installed. ✖ There is no 16 A type D line circuit breaker installed?
