SmartKits 800V 1in1 AC Switch Box
User Manual 2 Safety Information

● If any liquid is detected inside the equipment, disconnect the power supply
immediately and do not use the equipment.
● Before performing operations on the equipment, check that all tools meet the
requirements and record the tools. After the operations are complete, collect
all of the tools to prevent them from being left inside the equipment.
● Before installing power cables, check that cable labels are correct and cable
terminals are insulated.
● When installing the equipment, use a torque tool of a proper measurement
range to tighten the screws. When using a wrench to tighten the screws,
ensure that the wrench does not tilt and the torque error does not exceed
10% of the specified value.

vents or heat dissipation systems are not obstructed or covered by other objects
while the equipment is running.

General Requirements
● Ensure that the equipment is stored in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area
with proper temperature and humidity and is protected from dust and
condensation.
● When installing the equipment, ensure that the installation surface is solid
enough to bear the weight of the equipment.

Issue 03 (2023-04-21) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 8


SmartKits 800V 1in1 AC Switch Box
User Manual 2 Safety Information

● Keep the installation and operating environments of the equipment within the
allowed ranges. Otherwise, its performance and safety will be compromised.
● Do not install, use, or operate outdoor equipment and cables (including but
not limited to moving equipment, operating equipment and cables, inserting
connectors to or removing connectors from signal ports connected to outdoor
facilities, working at heights, performing outdoor installation, and opening
doors) in harsh weather conditions such as lightning, rain, snow, and level 6
or stronger wind.
● Do not install the equipment in an environment with direct sunlight, dust,
smoke, volatile or corrosive gases, infrared and other radiations, organic
solvents, or salty air.
● Do not install the equipment in an environment with conductive metal or
magnetic dust.

foam, plastics, and cable ties from the equipment area.

2.4 Mechanical Safety

DANGER

When working at heights, wear a safety helmet and safety harness or waist belt
and fasten it to a solid structure. Do not mount it on an insecure moveable object
or metal object with sharp edges. Make sure that the hooks will not slide off.

WARNING

Ensure that all necessary tools are ready and inspected by a professional
organization. Do not use tools that have signs of scratches or fail to pass the
inspection or whose inspection validity period has expired. Ensure that the tools
are secure and not overloaded.

WARNING

Do not drill holes into the equipment. Doing so may affect the sealing
performance and electromagnetic containment of the equipment and damage
components or cables inside. Metal shavings from drilling may short-circuit boards
inside the equipment.

General Requirements
● Do not perform operations such as arc welding and cutting on the equipment
without evaluation by the Company.

Issue 03 (2023-04-21) Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 9


SmartKits 800V 1in1 AC Switch Box
User Manual 2 Safety Information

● Do not install other devices on the top of the equipment without evaluation
by the Company.
● Use correct tools and operate them in the correct way.

Moving Heavy Objects


● Be cautious to prevent injury when moving heavy objects.

● If multiple persons need to move a heavy object together, determine the


manpower and work division with consideration of height and other
conditions to ensure that the weight is equally distributed.
● If two persons or more move a heavy object together, ensure that the object
is lifted and landed simultaneously and moved at a uniform pace under the
supervision of one person.
● Wear personal protective gears such as protective gloves and shoes when
manually moving the equipment.
● To move an object by hand, approach to the object, squat down, and then lift
the object gently and stably by the force of the legs instead of your back. Do
not lift it suddenly or turn your body around.
● Move or lift the equipment by holding its handles or lower edges. Do not hold
the handles of modules that are installed in the equipment.
● Do not quickly lift a heavy object above your waist. Place the object on a
workbench that is half-waist high or any other appropriate place, adjust the
positions of your palms, and then lift it.
● Move a heavy object stably with balanced force at an even and low speed. Put
down the object stably and slowly to prevent any collision or drop from
scratching the surface of the equipment or damaging the components and
cables.
● When moving a heavy object, be aware of the workbench, slope, staircase,
and slippery places. When moving a heavy object through a door, ensure that
the door is wide enough to move the object and avoid bumping or injury.
● When transferring a heavy object, move your feet instead of turning your
waist around. When lifting and transferring a heavy object, ensure that your
feet point to the target direction of movement.

Drilling Holes
● Obtain consent from the customer and contractor before drilling holes.
● Wear protective equipment such as safety goggles and protective gloves when
drilling holes.
● To avoid short circuits or other risks, do not drill holes into buried pipes or
cables.

3.1 Introduction
Function
The SmartKits ACBox is an 800 V switch box that provides one AC input and one
AC output. As a maintenance switch, it disconnects the input and output during
inverter maintenance to isolate the AC voltage at the low-voltage (LV) side of a
transformer station.

NOTICE

● The output end AC CONNECTION 2 of the AC switch box is connected to the


LV circuit breaker of the transformer station.
● The switch box functions as only the local maintenance isolation switch of the
inverter and turns off when the inverter needs to be maintained to ensure that
the inverter is isolated from the power grid.
● If the switch box is used in a grid-tied PV power system, the system on the AC
side should meet the safety design specifications, such as IEC 60947 and IEC
60364.
● It is recommended that the switch box be installed near the inverter.

NOTE

The switch box only works with Huawei SUN2000-185KTL-H1 inverters.

To avoid electric shocks, ensure that the INPUT and OUTPUT terminals are not
reversely connected.

DANGER

Before performing electrical connections, ensure that:


● The disconnector of the switch box is turned off.
● All switches connected to the switch box are set to OFF. Place a warning label
at switches to avoid incidents caused by switch-on.

6.2 Prepare a Terminal


Requirements for OT/DT Terminals:

● You need to prepare OT/DT terminals.


● If a copper cable is used, use copper wiring terminals.

● If a copper-clad aluminum cable is used, use copper wiring terminals.


● If an aluminum alloy cable is used, use copper-to-aluminum wiring terminals,
or aluminum wiring terminals along with copper-to-aluminum washers.

NOTICE

● Do not connect aluminum wiring terminals to the AC terminal block. Otherwise


electrochemical corrosion may occur, affecting the reliability of cable
connections.
● Comply with the IEC 61238-1 requirements when using copper-to-aluminum
wiring terminals, or aluminum wiring terminals along with copper-to-
aluminum washers.
● Do not mix up the aluminum and copper sides of the copper-to-aluminum
washers. Ensure that the aluminum side of the washer contacts the aluminum
wiring terminal, and the copper side contacts the AC terminal block.
● The cavity formed after the conductor crimp strip of the OT/DT terminal is
crimped must wrap the core wires completely. The core wires must contact the
DT terminal closely.
