SECTION 3 INSTALLATION AND INITIAL TURN-ON Ground Fault Detection The PV-225208 is equipped with a ground fault detection circuit and current transducer (CT1 in illustration). This circuit is active when the PV array is grounded as described in the previous section. In the event of a greater than 10 amp ground fault, the PV-225208 will execute an orderly shutdown and annunciates a ground fault at the operator interface. The PV-225208 will remain faulted until the ground fault is remedied and c

SECTION 4 OPERATION DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM OPERATION Overview The PV-225208 is a fully automated grid-tied photovoltaic inverter. Manual interaction or control of the inverter is necessary only in the event of a system fault. The following conditions govern PV-225208 operation: • Stable utility voltage and frequency must be present for all states of operation. • Fault states are automatic from any state of operation. A fault will cause the PV-225208 to immediately stop processing all power.
