Startup Procedure

Starting up the GT Inverter requires several steps. You will need to:

1.Ensure the DC/AC Disconnect switch is in the OFF position (see Figure 4-1).

2.Check the PV array DC voltage (see procedure below).

3.Check the AC utility voltage (see procedure below).

4.Replace the cover on the wiring box (see “Replacing the Wiring/Disconnect Box Cover” on page 4–2).

5.Start up the GT Inverter by switching the DC/AC Disconnect switch ON.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Hazardous voltages are present from two sources. Use extreme caution during startup procedure. Before applying power to the GT Inverter, ensure all AC and DC wiring is correct.
