DC Combiner Sub Panel
The inputs from the PV array are landed in the DC Combiner sub panel. This sub panel
includes the positive, negative and ground busbars. Optional fused subcombiner and
subcombiner monitoring are also located in the DC Combiner Sub Panel if selected.
DC Distribution PCB
The DC Distribution PCB is located on the DC sub panel. It includes the DC voltage
sensing and DC soft start circuit. The DC Distribution PCB also houses the GFDI
(Ground Fault Detector/Interrupter) circuit. The purpose of the GFDI is to detect a ground
fault (unintended current ow from the solar panels to earth ground) and in the event of a
ground fault, stop AC power production.

WARNING
Risk of Electrical Shock. The GFDI functions using a 5A fuse to connect or
bond the solar array Negative (or the solar array Positive, if using a positively
grounded panel array) to earth ground on the DC Distribution PCB.

AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’électrocution. Le GDFI utilise un fusible de 5A pour connecter le
pôle négatif du réseau de photopiles (ou le pôle positif, si un réseau est mis à
la masse positivement) à la terre sur le PCB de distribution de courant direct.
If the ground fault current exceeds 5A between the grounded array terminal and the earth
ground, the Ground Fault Detector Interrupter (GFDI) fuse will open and disconnect the
solar panels from their ground reference, interrupting the ground fault. In this situation,
the inverter will cease operation, display a fault message and the LED on the DC
Distribution PCB will illuminate red. If a GFDI current of 3-5A exists, the inverter will
indicate a ground fault warning.
