Important Safety InstructionsWARNINGThis chapter contains important safety and operating instructions. Read and keep thisOwner’s Manual for future reference.WARNING: Limitations on useDo not use the GT Inverter in connection with life support systems, medical equipment, orwhere human life or medical property may be at stake.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS—This manual contains important instructions that shall be followedduring the installation and maintenance of the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter.1. Before installing and using the GT Inverter, read all instructions and cautionary markings on theinverter and in all appropriate sections of this guide.2. To reduce shock, fire, and energy hazards the installation must be in accordance with all applicablelocal installation codes. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure adherence to applicable codes.3. To reduce risk of fire hazard, do not cover or obstruct the heat sink.4. Observe the clearance recommendations as described on page 2–12. Do not install the GT Inverter in azero-clearance or non-ventilated compartment. Overheating may result.5. Use only accessories recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Doing otherwise may result in a riskof fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.6. To avoid a risk of fire and electric shock, make sure that all wiring is in good condition and that wire isnot undersized. Do not operate the GT Inverter with damaged or substandard wiring.7. Do not operate the GT Inverter if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged inany way. If the GT Inverter is damaged, see the Warranty section.8. Do not disassemble the GT Inverter. It contains no user-serviceable parts. See Warranty forinstructions on obtaining service. Attempting to service the GT Inverter yourself may result in a risk ofelectrical shock or fire and will void the factory warranty.9. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect both AC and DC power from the GT Inverter beforeattempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the inverter. Turningoff controls will not reduce this risk. Internal capacitors remain charged for up to 30 minutes afterdisconnecting all sources of power.10. The GT Inverter must be provided with an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the ACground.975-0253-01-01viiwww.xantrex.com.ua
SafetyRegulatory ComplianceThe GT Inverter is CE Marked for the following Directives and standards: Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, per EN50178 “Electronic Equipment for Use in PowerInstallations”.EMC Directive 204/108/EC, per: EN61000-6-3 “Emission Standard for Residential, Commercial, and Light-IndustrialEnvironments” EN61000-6-1 “Immunity for Residential, Commercial, and Light-Industrial Environments” EN61000-3-2 “Limits for Harmonic Current Emissions” EN61000-3-3 “Limitations of Voltage Fluctuations and Flicker”.The GT Inverter is designed for utility interactive operation. It has complete on-board over-current, overtemperature and anti-islanding protection. It monitors voltage and frequency of the utility grid andautomatically stops supplying power whenever conditions on the utility grid deviate from standard levels(see Specifications).The GT Inverter is equipped with a high frequency transformer that assures galvanic isolation between theDC side and the utility power grid.German models have an integrated ENS and comply with the VDE 0126 regulations for supplementarygrid connection, especially to the “regulation for the supplementary grid feeding with photovoltaicelectricity producing facilities to the low voltage power supply grid” issued by the VDEW.Spanish models comply with Royal Decree 1663/2000 and with section 10 of Annex XI of Royal Decree661/2007, regarding the connection of photovoltaic installations to the low tension network.PV Ground Fault DetectionThe GT Inverter is equipped with a ground fault detection circuit that measures the impedance to ground ofthe array, before connecting to the grid. If a high impedance is not detected, it signals a fault and refuses toconnect. The GT Inverter will remain faulted until the ground fault is remedied and the inverter ismanually reset. See Table 6-1, “Troubleshooting the GT Inverter” on page 6–4.viii975-0253-01-01www.xantrex.com.ua

1IntroductionChapter 1, “Introduction”, contains information about the featuresand functions of the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter.www.xantrex.com.ua
IntroductionAbout the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar InverterThe Xantrex Grid Tie Solar Inverter (GT Inverter) is designed to convert solarelectric (photovoltaic or PV) power into utility-grade electricity that can be usedby the home or sold to the local power company.Installing the GT Inverter consists of mounting it to the wall and connecting theDC input to a PV array and the AC output to the utility. See Figure 1-1 for asimple diagram of a typical installation.In order to operate, the GT Inverter must have grid power available and connected.It will not provide backup power if the AC grid fails.Photovoltaic (PV) Panels—PV ArrayPower routed to utility grid0 0 0 0 0 0 08230 V10( 60) Ak Wh50 HzHarvested solar energyUtility GridUtility MeterDC converted to ACGrid Tie Solar InverterMain UtilityService PanelXantrex GT InverterFigure 1-1 Basic System Overview1–2975-0253-01-01www.xantrex.com.ua
About the Xantrex Grid Tie Solar InverterPV compatibilityThe GT Inverter is designed to take advantage of solar modules configured ashigh voltage PV string arrays—single crystalline, poly crystalline, or thin film—with a 195 to 550 Vdc input voltage Maximum Power Point range (240 to 550Vdc for the GT5.0-SP model).Maximum PowerPoint Tracking(MPPT)The GT Inverter uses Xantrex proprietary Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) technology to harvest the maximum amount of energy from the solararray. MPPT learns your array’s specific characteristics, maximizing its output atall times.High efficiencyThe high-frequency, solid-state design of the GT Inverter is extremely efficient—up to 96%.ExpandableMultiple GT Inverters may be networked together for increased net meteringcapacity or future system growth.CommunicationsprotocolThe GT Inverter uses the Xanbus communications protocol, enabling it tocommunicate with multiple units connected within the system. For moreinformation, see “Xanbus Network Technology” on page 3–11.Standard FeaturesThe GT Inverter has the following standard features: 975-0253-01-01Sealed inverter (IP54) and external heat sink to protect power electroniccomponentsQuick-connect connections for DC input (all models) and for AC output(GT2.5-DE, GT3.8-DE, GT2.8-SP, and GT3.8-SP models only)Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to provide easy-to-read system status and dailycumulative energy production informationTwo LED indicator lights to provide status and ground fault indication.1–3www.xantrex.com.ua

2InstallationChapter 2, “Installation”, provides information about planning for andinstalling the GT Inverter. It contains information to help you planwire routes, ensure your PV array provides necessary power, and finda suitable location for installation.The topics in this chapter are organized as follows: “Installation Options” on page 2–2 “Planning the Installation” on page 2–2 “Preparing for the Installation” on page 2–8 “Mounting the Inverter” on page 2–9.www.xantrex.com.ua
InstallationInstallation OptionsThe GT Inverter may be installed as a single inverter for a single PV array of up totwo PV strings (up to three PV strings for the GT5.0-SP model), or in a multipleinverter configuration for multiple PV arrays (see Figure 2-1 for diagrams of bothoptions).Single Inverter InstallationIn this configuration, a single inverter collects the harvested solar energy androutes the power to the main utility service panel and the utility grid.Multiple Inverter InstallationsIf multiple inverters are used, each inverter must be wired to an independent PVarray. In this configuration, each inverter collects the harvested solar energy froma separate PV array and routes the power to the main utility service panel and theutility grid.Communicatio

SETTING UP AUTOCAD TO WORK WITH ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING STYLE You will need to make some changes to AutoCAD to use it as a drafting tool for architectural drawings. AutoCAD “out-of-the-box” is set up primarily for mechanical drafting: drawing small parts for machinery using the metric system because that is the type of drafting is the most practiced in the world. However, making drawings of .
