Emergency shutdown procedure for PV system
In case of an emergency, you can shut down your PV system by following these steps:
- Turn off the AC isolator marked “PV POINT OF EMERGENCY SWITCHING”.
- This will disconnect the AC connection to the inverters.
- The inverters will detect the loss of AC and will immediately disconnect themselves from the AC distribution system.
- Turn off the DC isolator(s) at the inverter location.
- This will stop the flow of DC current through the cables.
Important safety notes:
- Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working with electrical equipment.
- Do not touch any live electrical components.
- If you are not comfortable performing this procedure, please contact our team. One of our experts will be on hand to help.
