Description of the Xantrex GT100 E
The Schneider Electric Model Xantrex GT100 E 100 kW Grid-Tied Photovoltaic
Inverter is a single enclosure, three-phase power conversion system for grid-
connected photovoltaic arrays with a rating of 100 kW. The Xantrex GT100 E
inverter incorporates the innovative switching technology utilizing state-of-the-art
IPMs (Intelligent Power Module), to convert the photovoltaic array's DC power to
the utility's three-phase AC power. The power conversion system consists of a
three-phase, pulse-width-modulated inverter, switchgear for isolation and
protection of the connected AC and DC power systems and an isolation
transformer. The system has very low standby and nighttime power consumption.
The system has local communication access as well as remote communication
access through a modem.
The Xantrex GT100 E uses state-of-the-art Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs),
which provides low power losses during the conversion process. It uses the IPM
devices with a gate drive circuit to interface the photovoltaic array with a utility
grid. The Xantrex GT100 E consists of an inverter bridge, photovoltaic controller,
and associated control electronics. The Xantrex GT100 E control software
provides for complete overall system control with a variety of protection and
safety features.
