Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - DO NOT DISCARD
This manual contains important safety instructions for the Xantrex GT500 E 500 kW
and Xantrex GT630 E 630 kW Grid-Tied Photovoltaic Inverters — Xantrex inverter —
that must be followed during installation and maintenance procedures.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock, explosion, and arc
flash
Before installing the Xantrex inverter read all instructions, cautionary markings,
and all other appropriate sections of this manual. Exercise extreme caution at all
times to prevent accidents.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock, explosion, and arc
flash. Risk of equipment damage
Unsafe conditions and damage to the inverter may result if the instructions, and
electrical, physical, and environmental installation specifications in this manual
are not obeyed.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock, explosion, and arc
flash
The Xantrex inverter enclosures contain exposed conductors and parts operating at
lethal voltage and at high enough energy to create an arc flash. Electrocution or
severe burns may result. The enclosure doors should remain closed with the latches
tightened, except during installation, maintenance or testing. These instructions are
for use by qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of electric shock or arc flash, do not
open any doors or remove any covers unless you are qualified to do so, are properly
equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment, and have locked out and
tagged out all sources of energy and verified that the inverter is de-energized. Do not
open the cabinet doors if moisture is present (rain or heavy dew).
WARNING: Multiple sources with risk of electric shock,
explosion, and arc flash
The Xantrex inverter is energized from the PV array, from the AC grid, and from an
auxiliary AC source (backed up with a Xantrex UPS for Xantrex GT500 E &
Xantrex GT630 E units with low-voltage ride-through capability). All 3 sources
(4 including a Xantrex UPS) must be disconnected, locked-out and tagged-out,
and all circuits tested to verify that the inverter is fully de-energized, according to
the procedure on page viii, before servicing or maintenance. Opening the AC and
DC disconnect switches on the inverter does not remove all power from the
inverter. Wait 20 minutes for the DC bus capacitors, located within the cabinet, to
discharge after removing power.
