AC and DC Disconnect Switches

Both AC and DC Interface Enclosures are equipped with lockout hasps for
personnel safety. The enclosure doors should not be opened while the PV225S

is

operating.

The switch handles and shafts provide a door interlock for both the AC and DC
Interface Enclosures. The doors cannot be opened when the switch is in the

ON

position.

The DC Disconnect Switch (S2) is equipped with an auxiliary contact block
which enables the switch to be used as a load break DC disconnect. In the event
the DC Disconnect Switch is opened while the PV225S

is processing power from

the PV array, the early-break contact block will signal the CCU2 (Converter
Control Unit 2) to stop processing power prior to the opening DC Disconnect
Switch.

Additionally, opening the DC Disconnect Switch will cause the PV225S to
execute an immediate orderly shutdown, open both the main AC and DC
contactors, and report a PV disconnect fault on the LCD of the UFCU.

Communication Features

The PV225S provides two types of information to the user:

system status and/or fault information, and

data logging information.

System status and fault information can be accessed using the Universal Front
Panel Control Unit (UFCU) or a personal computer using the Xantrex Solar
Graphic User Interface (GUI) software. Data logging requires the use of a PC
using the GUI software.
