Please observe any national installation regulations in this regard.Ground the housing of the inverter, if necessary, at the grounding point provided for that purpose in the connectionfield of the inverterFigure 21: Grounding point in the connection areaGrounding the housing1. Detach cable fitting for grounding the housing.2. Remove the outer cladding from the grounding cable.3. Insert the grounding cable through the cable fitting into the connection area.4. Remove the insulation from the grounding cable.5. Furnish the stripped cable with an M4 ring cable lug.6. Screw the ring cable lug to the grounding point with an M4/TX30 screw.7. Check that the cable is secure.» Tighten the cable fitting.7.6 Upgrading the DC overvoltage protectionThe unit is fitted with a surge protection device as standard. When replacing the modules, please follow the descrip-tion in section 9.5 on page 48.NOTEThe units allow you to upgrade the DC lightning and overvoltage protection in a straightforward andcost-efficient manner.In this respect, please refer to the documentation “blueplanet 15.0-20.0 TL3 Application note – Install-ing a surge protection device” on our website.
