GS Load Center

Planning Guide

OutBack Power’s GS Load Center (GSLC) is an integrated connection enclosure for

AC and DC system connections in OutBack Radian Series inverter/charger applications.

This GSLC Planning Guide supplements the Radian Series Quick Start Guide.

Please refer to the Quick Start Guide before reading this document.

A more in-depth GS Load Center Installation Manual is available online at

http://outbackpower.com.

IMPORTANT:

Not intended for use with

life support equipment.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

 The unit must be connected to a permanent wiring system that is grounded according to the IEC

60364 TN standard.

 For safety, the neutral and ground conductors should be mechanically bonded.



Make sure that no more than one bond is present in the AC system at any time. Some codes

require the bond to be made at the main panel only.

 The GSLC is equipped with a neutral-ground bond. If bonding is required to be in another

location, the bond in the GSLC may need to be removed.



Some generators have a neutral-ground bond. When establishing a single bond elsewhere,

it may be necessary to check for a generator bond.

 Mount only in a dry indoor location.

WARNING: Shock Hazard

For all installations, the negative (–) battery conductor should be bonded to the grounding system at only

one point. The GSLC comes equipped with a negative-ground bond. This bond may need to be

disconnected. If the OutBack Ground Fault Detector-Interrupter (GFDI) is present, it can provide the bond.

IMPORTANT:

These instructions are for use by qualified personnel who meet all local and governmental code

requirements for licensing and training for the installation of electrical power systems with AC and DC

voltage up to 600 volts. This product is only serviceable by qualified personnel.

Models and Options The GSLC is available in several different configurations: ○ GSLC – GS Load Center for Radian Series. The “basic” or “empty” version; requires almost all components to be installed if needed. Recommended for custom-built systems. Recommended for use with multiple Radian inverters (one GSLC per inverter). Can be used with other inverter models. The term “GSLC” is also used to refer generically to the product line. ● Intended for any Radian model.

Components Dimensions right side Different versions of the GSLC come with different components installed. The diagrams on this page depict the most common versions — GSLC175-PV-120/240 and GSLC175-PV-230. For diagrams of other versions and details about separate components available, please see pages 10-16 of the GS Load Center Installation Manual.

Wiring Installation Please carefully review the Radian Quick Start Guide for important GSLC wiring information. The information presented here highlights key wiring considerations but is not comprehensive. See also the GSLC online manual: http://outbackpower.com. Remove Covers WARNING: Shock Hazard If the GFDI is manually installed, the negative-ground bond on the GSLC must be removed. This must also be done if any other PV ground fault device is present that establishes its own negative-ground bond.
PAGE 5
DC Wiring WARNING: Shock Hazard Ensure all circuit breakers or disconnect devices are turned off or disconnected before connecting any wires. CAUTION: Fire Hazard ! Never install extra washers or hardware between the mounting surface and the battery cable lug. When installing multiple ring terminals or lugs, stack them on the mounting surface so that the largest conductor is in direct contact. Smaller ring terminals should be placed next in decreasing size order.

AC Wiring WARNING: Shock Hazard WARNING: Shock Hazard Ensure all circuit breakers or disconnect devices are turned off or disconnected before connecting any wires. Ensure all circuit breakers or disconnect devices are turned off or disconnected before connecting any wires. Split-Phase Wiring Single-Phase Wiring The GSLC can have multiple terminal bus bars for multiple AC connections.

Bypass Switches Bypass Switches Notes Inverter systems are often equipped with maintenance bypass switches or interlocks. If the inverter system ever needs to be shut down or removed, its AC sources and loads must be disconnected. A bypass device allows the AC source to “bypass” the inverter and deliver power directly to the loads. This can minimize disruption to the system and it avoids the need for extensive rewiring.
