Sunny Tripower
The Sunny Tripower is a transformerless PV inverter, with 2 MPP trackers, that converts the direct current of the PV array to grid-compliant, three-phase current and feeds it into the utility grid.

C | Type label The type label uniquely identifies the inverter. You will require the information on the type label to use the product safely and when seeking customer support from the SMA Service Line. You will find the following information on the type label:
|
D | Electronic Solar Switch (ESS) The ESS and the DC connectors together form a DC load-break switch. When plugged in, the ESS forms a conductive path between the PV array and the inverter. Removing the ESS interrupts the DC electric circuit and removing all DC connectors disconnects the PV array completely from the inverter. If the inverter is equipped with BLUETOOTH, the BLUETOOTH antenna is integrated in the ESS. |
E | Protective cover |
F | LEDs The LEDs indicate the operating state of the inverter ( > LED Signals). |
G | Display The display shows the current operating data and events or errors ( > Display Overview). |
H | Enclosure lid |
I | Screws and conical spring washers of the enclosure lid |
Symbols on the inverter, the ESS and the type label
Symbol | Explanation |
---|---|
Inverter Together with the green LED, this symbol indicates the operating state of the inverter. | |
Observe the documentation Together with the red LED, this symbol indicates an error (for troubleshooting, see the service manual at www.SMA-Solar.com). | |
BLUETOOTH Together with the blue LED, this symbol indicates active BLUETOOTH communication (only in inverters equipped as standard with BLUETOOTH). | |
Danger This symbol indicates that the inverter must be additionally grounded if additional grounding or equipotential bonding is required at the installation site ( > Connecting Additional Grounding). | |
Operating principle of the ESS:
| |
Operating the inverter without a protective cover is prohibited. Always operate the inverter with a protective cover in place. | |
Danger to life due to high voltages in the inverter; observe a waiting time of five minutes High voltages that can cause lethal electric shocks are present in the live components of the inverter. Prior to performing any work on the inverter, disconnect it from all voltage sources as described in this document ( > Disconnecting the Inverter from Voltage Sources). | |
Danger to life due to electric shock The product operates at high voltages. All work on the product must be carried out by qualified persons only. | |
Risk of burns due to hot surfaces The product can get hot during operation. Avoid contact during operation. Allow the product to cool down sufficiently before carrying out any work. | |
