Safety Bulletin

PROsine™ 1000/1800

Inverters (Hard-wire

versions)

The 120 Vac output PROsine 1000 and PROsine 1800 inverters are designed with the

output neutral connected to ground, as required by Canadian and U.S. electrical codes

and standards. Xantrex has discovered a manufacturing error in certain models that

resulted in this Neutral-to-Ground (N-G) “bonding wire” being omitted. As a result,

the neutral voltage may rise above ground, creating a shock hazard, even though the

unit appears to be functioning normally.

Xantrex has corrected the manufacturing error and removed as many of the faulty

products as possible from the distribution chain. However, some of the affected

products have reached customers and are in service. Xantrex is providing easy-to-

install repair kits to customers so they may fix the defect themselves. Alternatively,

Xantrex will repair the PROsine inverters for those customers who do not want to

install the kit.

In the meantime, this Safety Bulletin explains the problem, outlines the conditions

that create a hazard, states what precautions to take, and lists the serial numbers of

affected inverters.

This bulletin applies only to PROsine 1000 and PROsine 1800 inverters with 120

Vac output, 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc input, and with the “hard-wire” output style option,

manufactured between May and September, 2001. The part numbers and serial

numbers of the affected units are listed in Appendix A. This bulletin does not apply if

your PROsine inverter has the GFCI receptacle output option or the hard-wire with

built-in transfer relay output option.

The 120 Vac output PROsine 1000 and PROsine 1800 inverters are designed with the

output neutral bonded to (connected to) ground, as required by Canadian and U.S.

electrical codes and standards. The purpose of this N-G bonding is to ensure there is

no voltage on the output neutral with respect to ground. This maintains the expected

normal state of a 120 Vac system—the line conductor is at 120 Vac above ground

and the neutral conductor is at (or close to) zero volts above ground. As a result of

the missing N-G bonding, the neutral voltage may rise above ground, typically by

approximately 60 Vac, creating a shock hazard on circuits and loads connected to the

inverter. Other than this neutral-to-ground voltage, the inverter operates normally, so

this hazard could go unnoticed.
