PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION

The Xantrex Technology Model PV-30208 is a 30 kW Grid Tied Photovoltaic Inverter. It utilizes advanced power electronics to allow the interface of a photovoltaic array with an utility grid. The PV- 30208 is a highly integrated assembly, consisting of an inverter bridge and associated control electron- ics. The PV-30208 control software provides for complete overall system control with the required protective and safety features.

MAJOR COMPONENTS

The major components of the PV-30208 are identified in Drawing No. 151317.

Main Enclosure

The enclosure (shown in Figure 1-1) is NEMA-3R rated. The PV-30208 enclosure contains the solar control bus board, output line filter (insuring that the PV-30208 line currents meet IEEE-519 harmonic distortion requirements), control power transformers, and A/C contactor. The upper enclosure contains the operator interface panel ( LCD and an on/off switch).
