INTRODUCTION
The Xantrex Technology Model PV-30208 is a 30 kW Grid Tied Photovoltaic Inverter. It utilizes
advanced power electronics to allow the interface of a photovoltaic array with an utility grid. The PV-
30208 is a highly integrated assembly, consisting of an inverter bridge and associated control electron-
ics. The PV-30208 control software provides for complete overall system control with the required
protective and safety features.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
The major components of the PV-30208 are identified in Drawing No. 151317.
Main Enclosure
The enclosure (shown in Figure 1-1) is NEMA-3R rated. The PV-30208 enclosure contains the solar
control bus board, output line filter (insuring that the PV-30208 line currents meet IEEE-519 harmonic
distortion requirements), control power transformers, and A/C contactor. The upper enclosure contains
the operator interface panel ( LCD and an on/off switch).
