Cable first in rough environments
The modular concept allows for the Input/Output section
to be installed first, in order to avoid dust, humidity etc
that could affect critical electronic components.

Top or bottom cable entry


Both options are available for
ease of installation and shorter
cable lengths

Spacious section
Right or left positioning

Symmetra MW

For increased adaptability the


Input/Output Section can be
positioned either to the left or the right
of the Inverter Section, whichever fits
the application best
