Replacing the Ground Fault Protection Fuse
The ground fault protection fuse blows when a significant leakage current flows
between the PV array and earth ground or when the system has been installed
with deficient wiring. Before replacing the fuse, it is important to have qualified
service personnel, such as a certified electrician or technician, determine the
cause of the ground fault and effect repair.
To replace the ground fault protection fuse:
1. Make sure the PV and battery disconnect switches are open and the charge
controller is de-energized.
2. Remove the wiring compartment cover, as described on page 2–5.
The ground fault protection fuse is located behind the wiring terminals.
All of the charge
controller’s LEDs are
off and the charge
controller does not
show up on the SCP.
A. No battery connection to the charge
controller.
B. The charge controller is miswired.
C. Failed charge controller.
A. Change the battery disconnect from
the off position to the on position.
B. Check all connections and correct
the wiring if voltage is not present on
the charge controller’s battery
terminals.
C. If you have verified there is at least
20 V present on the charge controller’s
battery terminals yet the On/Charging
(green) LED remains off, contact
customer service.
The charge
controller’s On/
Charging (green) LED
is flashing.
The charge controller is outputting
charge current.
No problem. This is intended
operation. See “Viewing Status
Information on the Xantrex XW MPPT
80 600” in the Xantrex XW MPPT 80
600 Solar Charge Controller Operation
Guide for LED status information.
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
If a ground fault is indicated, normally grounded PV conductors could be
ungrounded and energized. Before working on any portion of the array or
wiring, make sure that portion of the array is de-energized by blanketing, use
of disconnects, or other safe working procedures and by testing for voltage
before beginning work.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
