Xantrex GT500-480 500 kW Inverter

GT500 Grid Tie Solar Inverter - Three phase 

The Xantrex GT Series Grid Tie Solar Inverter is based on a reliable platform that is used in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine applications throughout North America and Europe.

Description

The Xantrex GT500 incorporates an advanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to maximize the energy harvested from a PV array. To reduce power losses during the conversion process, the inverter uses the latest switching devices and a high-efficiency transformer to achieve a weighted CEC efficiency of 96.5% (est.).

To ensure reliability, the Xantrex GT500 and its sub-components are tested using Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT). HALT combines thermal and vibration technologies to stress a product beyond its specifications. This enables Xantrex to develop products and test them to a much higher standard than other inverter manufacturers. High reliability of the Xantrex GT500 reduces system downtime and results in higher energy production.

Features:

• Ultra-efficient design with industry-leading CEC efficiency of 96.5%, include isolation transformer
• Option to connect directly to medium voltage using a customer supplied transformer (transformer must meet specifications supplied by Xantrex)
• Integrated design with isolation transformer (480 V only) in one unit
• Includes AC and DC disconnects for both 480 V and MV versions
• Integrated ground-fault detection and interruption
• oft-start circuit to reduce nuisance trips (480 V only)
• Sealed design does not require filters or external air to cool sensitive components
• Back and sides of unit designed for zero clearance installations to minimize inverter space requirements
• Wiring access points on bottom, sides and back of inverter
• Removable air outlet allows inverter to be mated with venting ductwork
