Inverter’s breakthrough

technology and features

deliver maximum return on

investment for consumers.

Eaton solar inverter units

offer the highest efficiency

and voltage operating ranges

available in order to maximize

energy yield.

Installation time and costs

are greatly reduced through

packaging the combiner box,

AC/DC disconnects and wire

raceway with the inverter.

The design also simplifies

service on the unit through

a two-piece modular

configuration, which allows

the wiring box to remain

connected and mounted if

the need ever arises to

replace the power module.

unit has the ability to be field-

converted to output 3.8 kW

to accommodate lower rated

AC loadcenters. This inverter

family is to be used in grid-

tied applications only, thus

having the ability to feed

power to the utility grid. The

design focus of these

residential/light commercial

inverters was on maximizing

energy harvest and

minimizing installation time

and cost. The inverters boast

an extremely high efficiency

and a wide DC voltage

operating range, while fully

integrating the complete

balance of system into the

Solar Power Center Loadcenters and Meter Breakers

Product Description

Eaton’s Solar Power Centers

combine both utility power

and solar photovoltaic (PV)

power into one enclosure.

Solar Power Centers can be

applied as a component

of a complete PV electrical

system. Eaton offers the

most complete line of

Balance of System (BOS)

products in the industry,

along with a wide

variety of configurations

including loadcenters and

meter breakers.

The Solar Power Centers

feature industry-exclusive

factory-installed permanent

markings, which help to

ensure National Electrical

Code® (NEC) compliance.

Required by the NEC, these

markings enable quick and

easy identification of product

ratings and location of the

parallel energy source

disconnect. Prior to installation

contact your local utility to

confirm approval.

Product Types

Loadcenters are enclosures

specifically designed to house

the branch circuit breakers

and wiring required to

distribute power to individual

circuits. They contain either

a main breaker when used at

the service entrance point or

a main lug when used as a

sub-panel to add circuits to

existing service. The main

breaker protects the entire

panel and can be used as a

service disconnect. The

branch breakers protect the

wires leading to individual

electrical loads such as

fixtures and outlets.

Meter breakers are service

entrance equipment that

consist of a single meter

socket and loadcenter (circuit

breaker distribution section)

or meter socket and main

breaker combined in one

enclosure. Sometimes called

Combos, All-in-Ones, Meter

Centers or Meter Mains,

these units are increasing in

popularity as the socket and

loadcenter or main breaker

are located in one location,

thus providing the contractor

with a labor and material

savings when installing.

Meter breakers are most

often sold in the western,

southwestern and

southeastern United States.

The popularity of meter

breakers is continuing to

increase as more utilities

deregulate and pass the

responsibility of supplying

watthour meter sockets on

to the electrical contractor.

Solar Power Center Loadcenters and Meter Breakers

Application Description

How to Size a Solar-Ready

Loadcenter or a Meter Breaker

for your Solar Application

The National Electrical Code

(2008) Section 690.64(B)(2)/

(2011) Section 705.12(D)(2)

states: “The sum of the

ampere ratings of overcurrent

devices in circuits supplying

power to a busbar or

conductor shall not exceed

120 percent of the rating of

the busbar or conductor.”

For example: A 200A main

breaker loadcenter + a

backfed 70A PV breaker =

270A = 120% of the 225A

busbar rating. In 2014, 120%

was extended to 125% of the

conductor rating.

Note: Check with local utility for

exact requirements.

Power Xpert Solar 1500/1670 kW Inverter

Product Description

The Power Xpert® Solar MW

scale inverter is a rugged,

robust and reliable solar

inverter designed with

Eaton engineering’s 100-year

tradition of safety and

reliability. Designed for

utility applications the Power

Xpert Solar 1500/1670 is the

world’s largest PV inverter

and sets the new standard in

reliability and performance.

The inverter is outdoor-

rated, and no extra shelter

(canopy) or environmental

protection is needed in

order for the equipment to

sustain operation in harsh

environments (rain, dust,

snow and sun). This makes

the Power Xpert Solar inverter

not only an economical and

cost-effective solution but

capable of rapid deployment

and installation.

Availability is optimized by

a complete fault tolerant

design. This inverter is

composed by three blocks

of 500 kW (555 kW), which

can be individually isolated in

the unlikely event of a fault,

allowing the inverter to

operate at partial power

until field service arrives

on site. This provides

for higher reliability and

availability than using

multiple smaller inverters.

The Power Xpert Solar

inverter provides the

most cost-effective

solution in the market

for the following reasons:

●Fully outdoor rated

enclosure—no extra

shelter or environmental

protection needed

●Inverter includes:

●Recombiner box

with fuses

●Load brake rated DC

disconnect switches

●AC circuit breaker for

AC disconnection

●AC and DC surge

suppression

●True MW design—

one inverter is needed

for 1.5 MW/1.67 MW

station providing the

lowest cost of

installation and

operation:

– Fewer cement pads,

less excavation and

less cement

– Reduced field labor

for cabling and wiring

due to fewer units

needed

– Direct-coupling,

throat connection

with step-up

transformer

●Fault tolerance design—

inverter is able to run at

partial power (1/3, 2/3 of

full power)

●High reliability due to

conservatively rated

components, film

capacitors and liquid

cooling

●No active power de-rating

for up to ±0.91 power

factor support

●SCADA communication

via Modbus® TCP

Power Xpert Solar 1500/1670 kW Inverter

Features and Benefits

●True MW scale inverter

allows for maximum cost

savings on installation of

inverter and transformer.

It also enables a skidless

solution as there is only

one inverter and a simple

pad-mount transformer

to be installed

●Inverter can be configured

as a 1.5 MW or 1.67 MW

for maximum output power

optimization. Depending

on the MPPT range for the

array, the inverter output

power can be set to

1.5 MW or 1.67 MW

●Power factor support at

rated power. The inverter

will supply full rate power

(1.5 MW or 1.67 MW), and

still provide support for up

to a ±0.91 power factor

range. This provides cost

optimization especially

on projects with a power

factor support requirement

●Maximum flexibility on grid

support. Power Xpert Solar

grid and frequency ride

through settings are

flexible and can be

changed to meet local

utility or special grid

requirements

●Maximum DC/AC ratio

(array Isc ): Maximum array

short-circuit current (Isc )

cannot be higher than

4480 ADC. As long as this

limit is maintained, the

inverter warranty will not

be voided

●The inverter voltage and

frequency disturbance

characteristics are set and

controlled by a widely

accepted protection relay

SEL-751A. This device is

well known by utilities

and enables one extra

protection layer for safe

inverter shutdown under

abnormal grid conditions

●Direct-coupling throat

connection between the

inverter and transformer

enables cost savings on

cables, conduits and pad

installation. The throat

connection has been

implemented using Eaton’s

vast experience on low

voltage switchgear with

connection to a step-up

transformer

●DC grounding configuration

is available as positive and

negative schemes

●A recombiner box with

maximum flexibility is

available. The standard

configurations for number

of DC inputs, DC fuse

current and cable size are

shown in the Catalog

Number Selection graphic

on Page V15-T2-10.

The DC fuse ratings

available are 160 A, 200 A,

250 A, 315 A, 350 A, 355 A

and 400 A

●Array Zone monitoring is

possible with the option

of current sensing on each

DC input. This option

allows current monitoring

of the ungrounded DC

polarity inputs. Each DC

input current measurement

is stored on the internal

inverter controller and

available to a plant

monitoring device via

Modbus TCP

●Fiber optics communication

connection is available for

large plants, where inverter

stations are placed at a far

distance from the plant

central controller or

monitoring device

●Optional auxiliary I/O ports

provide an effective way

of cost-savings when

external devices need

to be monitored, such

as step-up transformer

measurements (liquid

temperature, pressure

and level). The standard

offering is 6 digital inputs

and 1 analog input.

Other options are available,

please consult factory

●A revenue grade meter in

the low voltage side of the

step-up transformer is also

present as an option.

Please consult an Eaton

representative for further

information

600 Vdc Single-Pole Disconnects

Product Description

Eaton’s offering of PV

switches have multiple poles

factory-wired, and they are

approved for NEC Article 690

applications right from the

box. Other manufacturers

require the contractor to add

jumpers to a two- or three-

pole switch, add a neutral,

and add labels to meet this

requirement. For fusible

switches, the Eaton PV

single-pole switch requires

only one fuse per switch—

saving the customer at least

one fuse on each switch.

Application Description

When photovoltaic panels

convert the sun’s energy into

electricity, the power

generated is direct current

(DC). Typically, the systems

are designed with DC system

voltages in the 400–600V

range. This is much higher

voltage than typically found in

building systems. The higher

voltage, when combined with

the lack of a current sine

wave with zero crossings,

creates a number of

challenges in wiring,

particularly when switching

circuits on and off.

DC circuits consist of two

wires—a positive and a

negative. In most PV

systems, one of these wires

is grounded (like a neutral in

an AC system). Which of the

two wires is grounded is

specified by the solar panel

manufacturer. The more

common application is a

negative ground, and the

location of this bond is usually

found at the inverter. Per the

National Electrical Code

(NEC) Section 690.5(A), only

the current-carrying

ungrounded conductor should

be switched. Thus, in a

negative-grounded system,

only the positive wire is

switched.

Unlike AC systems that

possess a current sine wave

with zero crossings, the

interruption of higher voltage

DC circuits requires an

increased air gap to safely

and quickly interrupt and

break the arc. Within this

family of switches, the

increased gap is

accomplished by wiring

multiple poles of a single

switch in series for safe arc

interruption. The UL 98 listing

of these products does not

permit multiple circuits to be

switched by one switch.

600 Vdc Per Pole and 1000 Vdc Disconnects

Product Description

The latest addition to Eaton's

solar disconnect family of

products is the UL Listed 600

Vdc per pole, bi-directional

disconnect. Listed to the

UL 98B standard, this design

has the capacity to switch

multiple circuits of up to 600

Vdc each. Also included in the

line are 1000 Vdc disconnects,

designed for use in large

scale projects where the

higher voltage helps drive

improved efficiencies.

The use of renewable

energy sources is on the rise.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are

among the fastest growing of

the new green technologies,

and they are being installed

on a variety of building types

and landscapes throughout

North America. This results in

a growing need for products

to meet the requirements of

these systems. Eaton’s

lineup of 600 Vdc per pole

and 1000 Vdc switches are

tested and listed to the

rigorous UL 98B standard, in

line with NEC 690 Code

requirements for PV

installations.

Application Description

Switching devices primarily

designed for DC service

require design features to

increase the total arcing

voltage. This can be achieved

by designing larger single air

gaps and multiple gaps in

series, or by using magnetic

fields to force arc movement.

In this safety switch design,

Eaton uses magnetic fields,

created with the use of

permanent magnets, to

stretch the arc. These

products are not polarity

sensitive, so they can be

used on either negative or

positive grounded systems,

and they provide protection

regardless of whether the

current flow is in the

“normal” direction or is

reversed (possible due to

miswiring or under a fault

condition).

Note: Photos shown above—

Left: 60A, 3 circuit, 600 Vdc

per pole, NEMA 3R.

Right: 200A, 4 circuit, 600 Vdc

per pole, NEMA 4, w/ isolated

grounded return terminals.

Grounded PV systems

A large number of PV

systems in North America to

date are grounded systems.

These systems will be either

positive grounded or negative

grounded. In a positive

grounded system, the

disconnect will switch (break)

the negative (–) conductor

only. Conversely, in a

negative grounded system,

the disconnect will switch

(break) the positive (+)

conductor only. It is important

that the disconnect applied

within a grounded PV system

be properly rated for that

specific system. Eaton’s

lineup of switches (600 Vdc

and 1000 Vdc) are designed

and UL Listed for use in both

positive and negative

grounded applications—one

switch can be used on either

system.

Ungrounded PV systems

Somewhat less common

today are ungrounded

(floating) PV systems. These

use transformerless inverters

and, relative to the

disconnects within the

system, both the positive (+)

and the negative (–)

conductors are switched.

Eaton is proud to also offer

a series of disconnects

(600 Vdc and 1000 Vdc) for

ungrounded systems.

Safety

The incorporation of the

modified heavy duty safety

switch mechanism provides a

visible means of disconnect

when the switch handle is in

the OFF position. Blade

disengagement from the

stationary contact can be

seen when viewing the

switch base.
