PV Grounding
You can configure the charge controller to be compatible with either negative-
grounded, positive-grounded, or ungrounded (floating) PV systems. For
information about routing the ground connection, see Figure 2-9 on page 2–13.
Chassis Grounding
The recommended size of the chassis ground conductor is #8 AWG (8.5 mm
2
)
1
.
For ground conductor requirements for your specific installation, consult your
local electrical code.
Internal Ground Fault Protection
The charge controller has different ground fault protection for grounded and
ungrounded arrays. For both types of ground fault protection, if the charge
controller detects a ground fault, it ceases operating and indicates a fault on the
charge controller’s display and over the Xantrex Xanbus™ network (if used). The
charge controller is configured at the factory for an ungrounded PV array.
Grounded Arrays For grounded arrays, the charge controller has two PV ground fault protection
fuse holders (for use with fuses rated 600 VDC, 1 A maximum) located inside the
wiring compartment. The fuse provides both a ground bond and ground fault
protection for grounded PV array systems.
Ungrounded
(Floating) Arrays
For ungrounded (floating) arrays, the charge controller detects the resistance
between the array and ground, and it indicates a fault if the resistance is too low.
