Product description
This recall involves the Eltek THEIA HE-t string inverters that convert DC power from residential solar panels to AC power supplied to the electrical grid system. The recalled inverters measure about 28 inches high by 14 inches wide by 6.5 inches deep. They were sold in four different kilowatt ratings: 2.0 kW, 2.9 kW, 3.8, kW, and 4.4 kW. "Eltek," and the model designation "THEIA" and "HE-t" are printed on the front display panel of the inverter. The inverters could be installed in different places in consumers' homes.
Reason for recall
The capacitors can fail and allow heat to build up and the cover can eject with force from the unit, posing fire and impact hazards.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled inverters, turn off the switch on the inverter's front cover, switch off the circuit breaker for the inverter and contact Delta Electronics USA to arrange for a free replacement inverter. Delta Electronics will remove the recalled inverter and install a replacement.
