The history of Schneider ElectricSchneider Electric, founded in 1836, has transformed itself into the global specialist in energy management. From its roots in the iron and steel industry, heavy machinery, and ship building, it moved into electricity and automation management.Inthelate20thcenturytheSchneiderGroupshifted its focus to the electrical industry by separating from its non-strategic activities and was solidified though its acquisitions of Telemecanique in 1988, Square DTM in 1991andMerlinGerinin1992.In1999developmentofinstallation, systems and control was bolstered with the acquisitionofLexel,Europe’snumbertwoinelectricaldistribution. In May of the same year, the company was renamed Schneider Electric to more clearly emphasize itsexpertiseintheelectricalfield.

From 2000 through 2009 Schneider Electric entered into a phase of organic growth and began positioning itself in newmarketsegments:UPS(uninterruptiblepowersupply),movement control, building automation and security and renewableenergythroughtheacquisitionsofAPC,Clipsal,TAC,Pelco,XantrexTechnologyandmore.Asaglobalspecialist in energy management with operations in more

than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in energy and infrastructure, industrial processes, building automation, and data centers/networks, as well as a broad presence in residential applications. Focused on making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green, the company's 100,000 plus employees achieved sales of 15.8 billion euros in 2009, through an active commitment to help individuals and organizations "Make the most of their energy™."

Schneider Electric Professional Installer TrainingSchneider Electric offers training for both the Schneider Electric Single-Phase and Three-Phase systems

Schneider Electric Single-Phase Training: > Single-Phase:This training is a comprehensive course for those professional installers looking to gain knowledge and hands on experience in installing the Schneider Electric grid tie and battery based products.

The format of the training is a small workgroup with a focus on hands-on training with open dialogue. The course covers a brief overview of conventional and renewable energy sources, an introduction to grid-tie energy transfer, an overview of Schneider Electric products and an in-depth discussion on the features, functions and benefits of the Schneider Electric XantrexTM XW System, Schneider Electric ConextTM and the Xantrex GT Series product lines. Participants will also get to practice the physical installation of the products, and receive training in system wiring and commissioning of typical applications.

For more information on single-phase training please contact: Jarmo Venalainen at [email protected]

> Training

Schneider Electric Three-Phase Training: > Three-Phase:This training is a comprehensive course for the system operators of larger solar farm installations who desire a more intricate understanding of the system operation and basic troubleshooting.

The format of the training is a small workgroup with a focus on hands-on training with open dialogue. The course covers a brief overview of conventional and renewable energy sources, an introduction to grid-tie energy transfer, an overview of Schneider Electric grid-tie products, and detailed discussion of the Xantrex GT Three Phase Series features, functions and benefits. Upon completion of the course, participants will have working knowledge of System Start-up, Operation and proper Shutdown procedures. We will cover the communication protocols and application used for retrieving system logs. Best maintenance practices will be covered as well as trouble code analysis.

Three-Phase classes available:> Schneider Electric XantrexTM GT500 MV Training> Schneider Electric XantrexTM GT500 E Training> Schneider Electric XantrexTM GT250 Training

Basic grid-tie systemA basic grid-tie system consists of solar cells and a grid tie inverter. Solar cells take thesun’senergyandturnitintoDCelectricity.TheinverterturnstheDCelectricitygenerated by the solar cells into utility grade AC power which can be sold to the utility grid. A grid-tie system is an effective way to obtain economical benefits, increase green energy production and improve the environment.

Basic off-grid systemWithanoff-gridsystem,youcaneasilyproduceyourownpowerwithouttheexpense andenvironmentalimpactofextendingpowerlines,orrelyingcompletelyonagenerator.

A basic off-grid system consists of a renewable energy source, which generates DC power, a battery bank that stores the DC power, and an inverter. Our inverter is the intelligent center of a renewable power system, seamlessly converting DC power to clean AC electricity for your needs.

Withabackupsystem,grid-connectedhomescanbenefitfromelectricityevenifthere is a grid failure. An inverter/charger automatically detects the failure and instantly switches to backup power stored in a battery bank that stores the DC power.

Alternating current (AC)The type of electricity supplied by the utility company. The unique characteristic of this form of electricity is that itreversesdirectionatregularintervals.Forexample,230Vac50Hzpowerreversesflow50timesasecond,hence the rating 50 Hz (cycles).

Amp (A)Aunitofmeasureoftheflowofelectricalcurrent.

Amp hour (Ah)Oneampofelectricalcurrentflowingforonehour. TheunitAhisanexpressionofthecapacity(size) of a battery.

CurrentTherateofflowofelectriccharge,usuallyexpressed in amps (or amperes).

Direct current (DC)The type of electricity stored in batteries and generated bysolarelectricdevices.Currentflowsinasingledirection.

ElectrolyteAconductivemediuminwhichtheflowofelectricitytakesplace;thisistheliquidfoundinsidestoragebatteries.

GridWhenusedinreferencetoutilitypower,itreferstoasystem of electrical transmission and distribution lines.

Off-gridAn electrical system that is not connected to a utility distribution grid.

Ground fault protection (GFP)Ashockhazardprotectiondevicethatlimitstheflowof electrical current to earth. Usually required in wet locations, e.g. for outdoor, kitchen, and bathroom circuits.

Hertz (Hz)The frequency, or number of times per second, that the flowofACelectricityreversesitself.Alsoreferredtoascycles (see alternating current).

High battery voltage protectionAcontrolcircuitthatdisconnectschargecurrentflowingto the battery before voltage reaches a dangerously high threshold.Preventsdamagecreatedbyexcessgassing (or boiling) of electrolyte.

Idle currentThe amount of electrical current required to keep an inverter ready to produce electricity on demand.

Inrush currentThe peak current an appliance or tool will draw at the instant it starts up.

Kilowatt (kW)One thousand watts of electricity. Ten 100-watt light bulbsuseonekWofelectricalpower.

> Glossary of terms

Line lossA voltage drop caused by resistance in wire during transmission of electrical power over distance.

LoadAny device that consumes electricity to operate. Appliances,tools,andlightsareexamplesof electrical loads.

Low battery protectionAcontrolcircuitthatstopstheflowofelectricity from batteries to loads when battery voltage drops to low levels.

Modified sine waveAlso called a modified square wave, this type of waveform emulates a sine wave using a series of steps.

Overload/overcurrent protectionA control circuit designed to protect an inverter, load, orwiringagainstcurrentexceedingitscapacity.(Afuse,forexample,isanovercurrentprotectiondevice.)

Parallel wiringBatteriesorPVmodules,wiredtogethertoincreaseampacity, while voltage remains constant. Two100Ah12Vdcbatterieswiredinparallelwillform a200Ah12Vdcbatterybank.

Photovoltaic (PV) arrayAgroupofsolar(PV)panelsconnectedtogethertoconvert energy from sunlight into DC electrical energy.

Sine waveThe type of AC waveform produced by the utility or by most generators.

Series wiringBatteriesorPVmoduleswiredtogethertoincreasevoltage, while ampacity remains constant. Two 100 Ah 12Vdcbatterieswiredinseriesforma100Ah24Vdcbattery bank.

Surge capacityThe amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periodsoftime.Forexample,electricmotorsdrawupto6 times their rated current while starting. An inverter will provide surge current to meet the start-up requirements of motors or other loads with high inrush current.

Transfer switchA switch designed to transfer electricity being supplied to loads from one source of power to another.

Volts (V)A unit of measure of voltage, which is the electromotive force or electric potential difference between two points in a circuit.

Watt(s) (W)A unit of measure of the amount of electrical power consumed by a load or supplied by a source such as the grid or an inverter. Watts=voltsxampsxpowerfactor

Watt hour (Wh)Electrical energy consumption or capacity measured in terms of time. One watt hour of electricity is equal to one watt of power being consumed for one hour.
