Ground Fault Protection

Ground fault protection is required when using either solar or wind 
renewable energy input. Figure 3-22 shows the location of the ground 
fault protection terminals and replaceable fuse.
When a grounding fault is detected, the ground fault protection fuse will 
blow. The system must be shut down completely, the fault corrected, the 
fuse replaced (see “Replacing the Ground Fault Protection Fuse”) and 
then the system restarted.
If an error is made on the installation or if the installer is called in to help 
repair the installation after damage that caused the ground fault protection 
fuse to open, the main symptom is that the unit will be shut down and will 
not invert or charge. The error that is shown on the front panel is

.

Replacing the Ground Fault Protection Fuse

The ground fault protection fuse will blow when severe leakage occurs 
between the PV array and earth ground, or when the system has been 
installed with faulty DC wiring. Before replacing the fuse, it is important 
to have qualified service personnel, such as a certified electrician or 
technician, to determine the cause of the ground fault.



DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARDS

• All wiring should be done by qualified personnel to ensure compliance with 

all applicable installation codes and regulations.

• Disconnect all AC and DC power sources. 

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARDS

• Replace the ground fault protection fuse only with the same type and ratings 

of fuse.

• After disconnection both AC and DC power for the system, wait five 

minutes before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any 
circuits connected to the inverter. Internal capacitors remain charged for 
five minutes after disconnecting all sources of power. 

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
