®
CSA C22.1.
Residual-current device:
☐ SMA Solar Technology AG recommends to install a residual-current device (type A) between
the inverter's output for secure power supply and the outlet for secure power supply operation,
which trips at a residual current of 30mA. Observe all locally applicable standards and
directives when doing so.
Additionally required material (not included in the scope of delivery):
☐ One standard outlet
☐ One standard switch (e.g. light switch)
☐ Conduits (trade size: 21mm (0.75in) or smaller with suitable reducer bushing)

suitable reducer bushing)
Procedure:
• Connect the outlet for secure power supply operation.
• Connect the switch for secure power supply operation.
