Transformer Configuration
Grid Mismatch
If the grid does not match the requirements, the inverter will not start and damage may
occur. Check with your local electric utility before selecting a grid standard.
The system must comply with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 and with all local
rules and safety regulations before the inverter can be operated.
Yaskawa Solectria Solar’s XGI 1500 three-phase transformerless inverters require AC output connection to a
wye configured service with a solidly grounded neutral (see Figure 3-10). The XGI inverter leaves the factory
with Neutral bonded to Equipment Ground; the Neutral is used by the XGI inverter for AC voltage sensing. Note
that the XGI inverter comes with the necessary parts to isolate the Neutral terminal, when that is desired. It is
not necessary to run a neutral conductor. However, if a neutral conductor is installed in the field between the
service and the XGI inverter, it will not carry current. Therefore, if the installer chooses to run a neutral conductor
between the transformer and the inverter, the size of the neutral conductor may be reduced to the same size as
the EGC, but not smaller than the EGC. Acceptable service configurations are depicted in the figure below.
