PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
The Xantrex Technology Model PV-100208 is a current following grid tied photovoltaic inverter,
utilizing state-of-the-art IPM (Intelligent Power Module), insulated gate bi-polar transistors (IGBT's)
and gate drive circuits to allow interface of a photovoltaic array with a utility grid. The PV-100208
consists of an inverter bridge, photovoltaic controller, and associated control electronics. The PV-
100208 control software provides for complete overall system control with a variety of protection and
safety features.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The major components of the PV-100208 are identified in Figure 1-1. Control components are identi-
fied in Figure 1-2. For specific control components see Drawing No. 151702 located in Section 7
(Appendix).
Main Enclosure
