Installation

AC/DC Disconnect Switch

The wiring box includes a PV/Utility disconnect switch that switches both AC and DC at the same time. If the inverter is to be installed without the integral Xantrex Wiring Box with Disconnect (Xantrex Part # 100-0243-01-01), separate approved AC and DC disconnects may be required by local authorities having jurisdiction.

WARNING: Shock hazard

The 600 volt DC/AC disconnect in the wiring box meets NEC Article 690. It is a non-serviceable component and shall remain in place. Removal can expose energized conductors.

Ground Fault Fuse

There is a 600 volt 1-Amp ground fault protection fuse (Littelfuse KLKD 1 or equivalent) in the GT Inverter.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Do not attempt to service the ground fault fuse yourself. This should only be done by qualified service personnel.
