Front Panel Features
Wiring/Disconnect Box
The wiring/disconnect box is standard for all North American models of the GT
Inverter. The wiring/disconnect box provides a location for making AC, DC and
ground connections. It also contains the DC/AC (PV array/utility) disconnect
switch. When used with the GT Inverter, the DC/AC disconnect switch is 600V
AC and DC rated and is identified on the outside by an illustration showing the
open and closed switch positions. The switch is lockable, and meets NEC section
690 requirements as a means of disconnect.
In jurisdictions where the local utility requires that the AC disconnect be capable
of being locked in the open position by its service personnel, this disconnect
switch can also serve as a lockable isolating device.

Important:
In North America and other locations the wiring/disconnect box is an
electrical code requirement. Regulatory approval is based on the wiring/disconnect box
always being attached to the inverter during operation. Any attempt to remove this box
will invalidate the approvals and create an electrical hazard.
