Recommended Clearances
Figure8: Recommended clearances
• To ensure optimal operation, maintain recommended clearances to walls, other inverters or
objects. This will prevent the inverter from reducing its power due to high temperatures.
• If the inverter is mounted outdoors, the clearance between the DC Disconnect and the floor must
be 3 ft. (914 mm). This prevents the ingress of splashing water into the DC Disconnect.
• Do not place or hang any objects on the inverter.
