SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for the SE330K Inverter that should be followed during
installation and maintenance. Using this equipment in a manner not specified in this guide by SolarEdge may impair the protection provided
by this equipment.
FCC Compliance

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

 2 Connecting PV Strings

Combiner Box

-
When connecting three or
+ more H1300 strings to a
combiner box, it is
recommended to use a 30A
fuse for each individual
string. However, be sure to
check local electrical codes
To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), make sure to and regulations to
minimize the distance between the positive and negative DC cables determine the proper fuse
sizing for your specific
installation.

Turn off switches and check

string polarity. Verify 1±0.1V
per optimizer.
Example: 20 optimizers = ~20V

Max distance between a combiner
