Safety

General Safety Precautions

1.When installing the PV225S use only components recommended or sold by Xantrex. Doing otherwise may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, injury to persons, and will void the warranty.

2.Do not attempt to operate the PV225S if it has been dropped, or received more than cosmetic damage during transport or shipping. If the PV225S is damaged, or suspected to be damaged, see the Warranty section of this manual.

3.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, lock-out and tag the PV225S before attempting any maintenance, service, or cleaning.

Personal Safety

Follow these instructions to ensure your safety while working with the PV225S.

Safety Equipment

Authorized service personnel must be equipped with standard safety equipment including the following:

Safety glasses

Ear protection

Steel-toed safety boots

Safety hard hats

Padlocks and tags

Appropriate meter to verify that the circuits are de-energized (600 Vac and DC rated, minimum)

Check local safety regulations for other requirements.

Wiring Requirements

1.All wiring methods and materials shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. When sizing conductors and conduits interfacing to the PV225S, both shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA 70, as well as all state and local code requirements.

2.Use copper conductors only with insulation rated for 90 °C.

3. The PV225S has a three-phase output. It is marked with this symbol:

4.The AC power conductor wiring interfacing with the AC terminals in the Transformer Enclosure are located at T6-X1, T6-X2, and T6-X3. These terminals should be tightened to a torque value of 420 in-lb (47.5 Nm). Conductors terminated to these terminals must use a crimp-on type ring
