current-sourcing inverter and only operates with the presence of a stable utility
voltage. The transformer is also supplied with a neutral connection on the utility
interconnect. Connection of this utility-side neutral does not affect the operation
of the inverter, however connection of the neutral on the inverter-side does affect
the operation and must be left floating or disconnected. Single-phase, grounded
loads, which may be present between the transformer and utility, will maintain
their existing ground reference at the utility distribution transformer.

Wiring - Specific

This section provides information for connecting the AC and DC conductors,
ground conductors, and AC Sense Harness.

AC Connections

To connect the main inverter to AC interface/transformer assembly:

1.

Remove the access panels from the front of both the Main Inverter Enclosure
and the Transformer Enclosure. Additionally, open the front door to the Main
Inverter Enclosure.

2.

Route the AC power conductors A, B, C phase cables and ground conductor
through the conduit between the main inverter to the AC interface/transformer
assembly (T6).

CAUTION: Equipment Damage

If the Isolation Transformer (T6-X0) neutral terminal is tied to ground, it will cause
irreparable damage to the PV225S. Check local regulations for their requirements
regarding the connection of these neutrals.

WARNING: Lethal Voltage

Grounding the neutral of a Wye-wound transformer may create an “open delta” condition,
depending on the utility configuration. This condition may keep the PV225S from
detecting a loss of phase condition on the utility system, which may allow potentially
lethal voltage to be present on the open phase wiring.
