How important is the correct position of inverter switch?

When installing the inverter, many people pay attention to the selection of the main engine and the configuration of the battery, but the supporting 

switch position is conveniently installed, thinking that "it is enough to be electrified". As a result, it was discovered when it was really used: either it 

was too high to reach, or it was difficult to hide in a dead corner for maintenance, or even it was too close to combustible materials to bury safety 

hazards. Although the switch is a small part, the installation position is selected correctly, which saves worry in daily use, saves trouble in later 

maintenance and is more secure. Today, from the three dimensions of safety, operation and maintenance, I will talk about where the inverter switch 

is most suitable.

First, safety first: these installation red lines cannot be touched.

The first principle of installing the switch is always safety first, and you must never leave hidden dangers to save trouble. First of all, it is necessary to 

keep a safe distance of at least 50cm from flammable materials. When the switch is turned on and off, an arc may occur, which is too close to flammable 

materials such as cartons, cloth and plastics, which may easily lead to safety risks. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight and humid environment. 

Long-term exposure will accelerate the aging of the casing and wiring, and the humid environment will easily cause short circuit and leakage. A well-

ventilated dry area is the ideal installation location. In addition, the installation height should also be taken into account. It is recommended to install it 

in a position where adults can see, but it should avoid the height that children can touch, which is not only convenient for daily checking, but also can 

avoid the danger caused by accidental touch. In the final analysis, it would be better to spend ten more minutes choosing a suitable location than to 

bury a safety hazard for subsequent use in order to save trouble.

Second, the operation is smooth: choose the right golden area, and have less trouble in daily use.

The switch is a part of daily high-frequency operation, which can be installed conveniently and save a lot of things every time it is used. The height follows 

the principle of ergonomics. When standing, the wrist height with natural drooping arms is the most suitable, that is, the range of 1.2-1.5 meters. It is the 

most labor-saving to operate without tiptoeing or bending over. Try to choose the location near the entrance and exit passage, which is convenient for 

daily start-stop operation, and can also find the power failure at the first time in case of emergency. Be careful not to block the access route and avoid 

bumping. If there are multiple switches on site, you can distinguish them with panels of different colors, and you can identify the corresponding circuits 

at a glance; Even in a dark environment, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the switch can be quickly located, and there is no panic during 

emergency treatment.

Third, reserved space: leave enough room for later maintenance.

Reliable installation will definitely leave room for subsequent overhaul and maintenance, and don't pretend to be "a hammer sale". At least 20cm of 

operating space shall be reserved behind the switch. When wiring, overhauling and replacing parts in the later period, it is not necessary to disassemble 

the surrounding equipment, so you can operate with your hand. Try not to install it in the dead angle position directly behind the equipment or in the corner. 

If something really goes wrong, it will be difficult to investigate and maintain it. If multiple devices are installed centrally, the spacing between switches 

should be more than 30cm to avoid mutual interference and facilitate troubleshooting one by one. Finally, it is necessary to plan the direction of cables 

that may be added in the future in advance, and don't wait for equipment and lines to be added later, only to find that there is no place to route.

Generally speaking, the installation of inverter switch is never as simple as "finding a vacant place to install it". Only when safety, operation and maintenance 

are taken into account can it be used for a long time and worry-free. Baoweite's full range of industrial inverters, STS static switches and switching power
