<div dir="ltr"><div>Wrenches,</div><div></div><div>A technician from Solectria was severely burned when he tried to replace a filter on an inverter.

<div></div><div>I hope he's ok and that he makes a full recovery. I also hope everyone here reviews their safety practices when troubleshooting PV systems. This type of incident can happen on any inverter/combiner boxto anyone and while the chances are very low, the consequences are severe.I know how much of a pain it is to wear an arc flash suit (they make class 2 clothing BTW) with the full mask on, especially when it's hot outside, but it is something everyone should be doing when troubleshooting anything energized.</div>
