153379
This manual contains important safety instructions for the GT100 Grid-Tied
Photovoltaic Inverter that must be followed during installation and maintenance
procedures.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Read and keep this Planning and Installation Manual for future reference.
Before operating and maintaining the GT100, read all instructions, cautionary markings,
and all other appropriate sections of this manual. Failure to adhere to these warnings could
result in severe shock or possible death. Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent
accidents.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
The GT100 Inverter Enclosure contains exposed high voltage conductors. The Inverter
enclosure doors should remain closed with the latches tightened, except during
maintenance or testing. These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel
who meet all local and governmental code requirements for licensing and training for the
installation of Electrical Power Systems with AC and DC voltage to 600 volts. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that specified in the
installation instructions unless you are qualified to do so. Do not open the cabinet doors if
extreme moisture is present (rain or heavy dew).
WARNING: Lethal Voltage
In order to remove all sources of voltage from the GT100, the incoming power must be de-
energized at the source. This may be done at the main utility circuit breaker and by
opening the AC Disconnect and the DC Disconnect Switch on the GT100. Review the
system configuration to determine all of the possible sources of energy. In addition, allow
five minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge after removing power. Follow the
"Lockout and Tag" procedure on page xi to de-energize the GT100.
WARNING: Shock hazard
If a ground fault has occurred, there may be potential between TB4 and GND. The
normally grounded pole may be energized and ungrounded.
