[RE-wrenches] Schneider recall

2011-01-25 Thread Glenn Burt
So have you seen the widespread recall on the Xantrex GT and Sunpower SPRx
line?

Bulletin reports instances of the wiring cover blowing off the inverter 
suggests all inverters be shut down until a retrofit kit is available for
installation.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Schneider recall

I believe that Schneider will send PB board swap-out kits to installers and
compensate installers for the swap-out. We are putting together a list of
all the GT inverters that we have installed since 2002 and will ask for
enough to cover the list, and if we have extra kts left over, we will be
able to send them back to Schneider.

I understand that almost every GT inverter is subject to this recall.  It
looks like we may have 30 or so to take care of.

My list is over 100 inverters so far, and I have only got 2-3 years of jobs 
processed.  Getting together all the serial numbers is taking some time.  I am 
glad this recall didn't happen during the end-of-year rush.
