Load Disconnection Unit
You must install a separate miniature circuit-breaker for each inverter in order to ensure that the
inverter can be securely disconnected under load. The maximum permissible rating can be found in
section 11 "Technical Data" (page 60).
Detailed information and examples for the rating of a miniature circuit-breaker can be found in the
Technical Information "Miniature Circuit-Breaker" in the SMA Solar Technology AG download area
at www.SMA.de/en.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to fire.
When more than one inverter is connected to the same miniature circuit-breaker, the
protective function of the miniature circuit-breaker is no longer guaranteed. It can result in
a cable fire or destruction of the inverter.
• Never connect several inverters to a single miniature circuit-breaker.
• Observe the maximum permissible fuse protection of the inverter when selecting the
miniature circuit-breaker.
DANGER!
Danger to life due to fire.
When a generator (inverter) and a load are connected to the same miniature circuitbreaker, the protective function of the miniature circuit-breaker is no longer guaranteed.
The current from the inverter and the grid can accumulate to excessive current that is not
detected by the miniature circuit-breaker.
• Never connect consumers between the
inverter and the miniature circuitbreaker without protection.
• Always protect consumers separately.
NOTICE!
Damage to the inverter by using screw type fuse elements as a load
disconnection unit.
A screw type fuse element, e.g. D system (Diazed) or D0 system (Neozed), is not a load
disconnection device, and thus may not be used as a load disconnection unit. A screw type
fuse element serves as cable protection only.
When disconnecting under load using a screw type fuse element, the inverter can be
damaged.
• Use only a switch-disconnector or a miniature circuit-breaker as a load disconnection
unit.

(e.g. Sunny Data Control or Sunny Explorer).
Refer to the communication interface manual for a detailed wiring diagram and a mounting
description.
5.6 Setting the Grid and Country Parameters
Changing grid-relevant and country parameters
To change grid-relevant parameters, you need a personal access code - the so-called
SMA Grid Guard Code. The application form for the personal access code is available in
the download area at www.SMA.de/en, in the "Certificate" category of the respective
inverter.
Ensure that you discuss the changes to these parameters with your distribution grid
operator.
A detailed description of the operation parameters for the inverter is available in the download area
at www.SMA.de/en in the category "Technical Description" of the respective inverter.
5.6.1 Setting the Installation Country
Using the "Default" parameter you can set the installation country and/or the grid connection
standard valid for the country via a communication device (e.g., Sunny WebBox) or a PC with
corresponding software (e.g., Sunny Data Control or Sunny Explorer). This, however, is only required
if the inverter was originally ordered for another country. You can see the default standard to which

5.6.2 Setting Stand-Alone Grid Operation
To operate the inverter in an off-grid system with Sunny Island, you must set the "Default" parameter
to stand-alone grid ("OFF-Grid") operation.
You have several possibilities to set the inverter to stand-alone grid operation:
• Setting via Sunny WebBox
or
• Setting via Sunny Data Control or Sunny Explorer
DANGER!
Danger to life due to high voltages in the event of outage of the power
distribution grid.
If you set the inverter to stand-alone grid operation, it does not fulfill any country-specific
standards and guidelines. Therefore, in the event of outage of the power distribution grid,
there is a danger of feedback.
• Never operate the inverter directly on the power distribution grid when set to
stand-alone grid operation.

6.2 Self-Test in Accordance with DK 5940, Ed. 2.2
(Applies to Italy Only)
6.2.1 Starting the Self-Test by Tapping
You can start testing the disconnection times by tapping on the enclosure lid. A prerequisite here is
that the country configuration of the inverter has been set to Italy (IT/DK5940) or "trimmed". Proceed
as follows for checking the disconnection times:
1. Connect the PV array to the inverter. The inverter can only initialize if the PV array produces
enough power. It is therefore not possible to test the disconnection times at night.
2. Connect the inverter on the AC side. For this, you have to create the AC connection
(AC plug or direct connection) and/or switch on the miniature circuit-breaker of the grid cable
(fuse or automatic circuit breaker).
3. The inverter is now in the initialization phase, i.e. all 3 LEDs are glowing at the same time.
Start the self-test immediately after all 3 LEDS have gone out by tapping on the display of the
inverter.
4. The question of whether you would like to start the
test sequence appears in the display. Tap on the
display again within 30 seconds to confirm the
question.
Once you have started the test sequence, the inverter
checks the disconnection times for overvoltage, undervoltage, maximum frequency and minimum
frequency one after the other. During the tests, the inverter shows the values in the display which are
described in section 6.2.2 "Completion of the Self-Test" (page 37).
6.2.2 Completion of the Self-Test
Note the values which are displayed during the self-test. These values must be entered into a test report. The test results of the individual tests are displayed 3 times, one after the other. The respective
display message is displayed for 10 seconds.
The self-test changes the upper and lower disconnection thresholds for each protective function on a
linear basis with a modification of 0.05 Hz/s and 0.05 Vn/s for the frequency and voltage monitoring. As soon as the actual measured value is outside the permitted range (altered disconnection
threshold), the inverter disconnects itself from the grid. In this way, the inverter determines the reaction
time and checks itself.

Minimum Frequency
In the last step, the inverter tests the minimum frequency.
During the test sequence, the frequency limit applied is
shown in the display of the inverter.
The frequency limit is increased successively until the
shutdown threshold is reached and the inverter
disconnects from the grid.
Once the inverter has disconnected from the grid, the display successively shows the following values
one after the other:
• Disconnection value
• Calibration value
• Reaction time
• Current grid frequency
When the inverter has carried out the 4 tests, it switches to "MPP-Operation" mode. The original
calibration values are then re-set and the inverter automatically connects to the grid. If you would like
to carry out the test again, you must disconnect the inverter, i.e. disconnect it on the AC and DC sides
and then later re-activate it. You can then restart the self-test as described in section 6.2.1 "Starting
the Self-Test by Tapping" (page 37). The inverter starts again the test sequence, as described in
section 6.2.2 "Completion of the Self-Test" (page 37).

Temporary inverter disturbance.
Corrective measures
Vac-Bfr
• Contact the SMA Serviceline.
The grid voltage is no longer within the permissible range ("Bfr" or "Srr" is
an internal message that has no meaning for the user). This fault can be
caused by any of the following conditions:
Vac-Srr
• Grid disconnected (miniature circuit-breaker, fuse)
• AC cable is broken or
• AC cable is highly resistive
For safety reasons, the inverter disconnects itself from the grid.
Corrective measures
• Check the grid voltage and connection on the inverter.
• If the grid voltage lies outside the acceptable range because of
local grid conditions, ask the distribution grid operator if the
voltages can be adjusted at the feed-in point or if they agree to
changes in the values of the monitored operational limits (operation
parameters: Vac-Min and Vac-Max).
• If the grid voltage lies within the tolerance range, yet "Vac-Bfr" or
"Vac-Srr" faults are still displayed, contact the SMA Serviceline.

9.3 Red LED is Glowing Continuously
If the red status display LED lights up continuously during operation, there is a ground fault in the
PV array, at least one varistor for overvoltage protection is defective or there is an insulation fault.
Procedure
1. Check for ground faults in the PV array as described in section 9.3.1 "Checking the PV Array
for a Ground Fault" (page 54).
2. If the red LED continues to glow, check the varistors as described in section 9.3.2 "Checking the
Function of the Varistors" (page 56).

9.3.1 Checking the PV Array for a Ground Fault
1. Disconnect the inverter from both the DC and AC connections as described in section
7.2 "Opening the Inverter" (page 42).
DANGER!
Risk of lethal electric shock.
• Only touch the cables of the PV array on their insulation.
• Do not connect strings with ground faults to the inverter.
NOTICE!
Excessive voltages can destroy the measuring device.
• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range up to at least 1 000 V.
2. Measure the voltages between the plus pole of
each string and the ground potential (PE).
3. Measure the voltages between the minus pole of
each string and the ground potential (PE).
4. Measure the voltages between the plus pole and
the minus pole of each string.
☑ A ground fault exists if the measured voltages are stable and the sum of the voltages from
the plus pole to the ground potential and from the minus pole to the ground potential of a
string are almost the same as the voltage between the plus and minus poles.

Measure
☑ You have found a ground fault.
• The installer of the PV array must remedy the ground
fault in the affected string. You can determine the
location of the ground fault as described below.
• Do not reconnect the faulty string.
• Commission the inverter as described in section
6.1 "Commissioning the Inverter" (page 36).
☑ You have found no ground fault. It is likely that one of the thermally monitored varistors is
defective.
• Check the varistors as described in section
9.3.2 "Checking the Function of the Varistors"
(page 56).
Location of the ground fault
The approximate position of the ground fault can be determined from the ratio of the measured
voltages between the plus pole against ground potential and the minus pole against ground
potential (PE).
Example:
In this case, the ground fault is between the second and third PV modules.
☑ The ground fault check is finished.

9.3.2 Checking the Function of the Varistors
Varistors are wear parts. Their functional efficiency diminishes with age or repeated strain as a result
of overvoltage. It is therefore possible that one of the thermally monitored varistors has lost its
protective function, and thus the red LED is lit.
Position of varistors
You can determine the position of the varistors using the illustration below.
Observe the following assignment of the
terminals:
• Terminal A: outer terminal (varistor
connection with loop [crimp])
• Terminal B: middle terminal
• Terminal C: outer terminal (varistor
connection without loop [crimp]).
Check the function of the varistors as described below:
1. Open the inverter as described in section 7.2 "Opening the Inverter" (page 42).
2. Using a multimeter and with both varistors installed,
determine whether there is a conductive connection
between terminals B and C.
Result
Measure
☑ There is a conducting connection. There is probably a different fault in the inverter.
• Contact the SMA Serviceline (see section
13 "Contact" (page 71)).

Measure
The respective varistor is defective and must be replaced.
Varistor failure is generally due to influences which affect
all varistors similarly (temperature, age, induced
overvoltage). SMA Solar Technology AG recommends
that you replace both varistors.
The varistors are specially manufactured for use in the
inverter and are not commercially available. They must be
ordered directly from SMA Solar Technology AG (see
section 12 "Accessories" (page 70)).
• To replace the varistors, proceed to step 3.
NOTICE!
Destruction of the inverter due to overvoltage.
If varistors are missing, the inverter is no longer protected against overvoltages.
• Replacement varistors should be obtained as soon as possible.
• Do not operate the inverter without varistors in plants with a high risk of overvoltages.
3. Insert an insertion tool into the openings of the
terminal contacts (1).
☑ The terminals will loosen.
If you do not receive an insertion tool for operating
the terminals with your replacement varistors,
contact SMA Solar Technology AG. As an
alternative, the individual terminal contacts can be
operated using a 3.5 mm wide screwdriver.
4. Remove varistor (2).
5. Insert new varistor (3).
The pole with the small loop (crimp) must be fitted
to terminal 1 when replacing the varistor.
6. Close the inverter as described in section
7.3 "Closing the Inverter" (page 45).
☑ The check and replacement of the varistors is
completed.
