    Safet y Safety DANGER Lethal voltages are still present in the terminals and leads of the inverter even after the inverter has been switched off and disconnected. Lethal voltages are still present from the PV array, and PV System Disconnect’s touch safe fuse holders. With the PDS disconnected from both AC and DC sources, the inverter terminals are open, and can be removed and replaced with no voltage present.

  • Page 6: Protection Features

    Safet y Protection features For your safety, the following monitoring and protective functions are integrated into the XP10U inverter: • Overvoltage conductors/varistors to protect the power semiconductors from high-energy transients on the grid and PV array side • Temperature monitoring of the heat sink •...
  • Page 7 PV s yst em des crip ti on PV system description Summary of operation The PV system creates clean AC energy from sunlight. The PV array absorbs the energy of sunlight, and produces DC energy. The inverter’s role is to maximize the amount of DC energy inverted into AC, and exported to the utility grid during the feed in mode of operation.
  • Page 8 PV s yst em des crip ti on 3.2.1.1 A summary of the components PV array PV arrays consist of PV modules connected in series and parallel. Each series-connected set is called a string. The electri- cal properties of the PV array are determined by how many PV modules are in a string, and how many of the strings are connected in parallel.
