The ASNET port provides networking capability of multiple units as well as access to the T80 or T100 charge controllers and remote display for enhanced system performance.

The OutBack inverter is a modular "building block" sine-wave inverter/charger that can be used for both residential and commercial stand-alone and grid-connected applications with battery energy storage. Inverters are available in two version, a sealed, fan-cooled FX version and a higher powered ventillated VFX version. Each inverter/charger module is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch.

Additional inverter/chargers can be added at any time in either parallel (120VAC), series (120/240VAC), or even three-phase (120Y208 VAC) configurations, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific needs of the application, both at the time of installation and into the future. With the addition of an X-240 autotransformer, multiple inverter systems can be set up to provide 120/240 VAC split-phase output with the ability to provide full power on either 120 VAC leg of the system. Up to ten inverters can be connected together to provide up to 36 kW of continuous power capacity with the use of the HUB and the MATE controller.

The inverter’s powerful battery charger operates in five stages: BULK (constant current output), ABSORB (constant voltage output), FLOAT (reduced voltage output), SILENT (no charger output) and EQUALIZE (constant voltage regulation overcharging). Charge time in each stage is adjustable to provide control and to maximize the performance of the charger and battery system.

Each OutBack inverter has one programmable, auxiliary relay output connection (AUX). The AUX terminal provides 12 VDC output to run 12V cooling or ventilation fans or operate an external relay to perform other functions, such as remote generator starting (two-wire), to disconnect external charging sources (such as PV), or to turn on a diversion load for voltage regulation.

The built-in transfer switch is rated for 60 amps. When an external source of AC power (either a generator or the utility grid) is detected at the "AC In" terminal on the inverter, the switch operates to transfer the loads to the external power source, and then activates the battery charger to re-charge the battery bank.

Outback FX Sealed Inverters with Turbo Fan

The OutBack FX-series is designed to survive harsh environments anywhere in the world. Their unique sealed, gasketed die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool - without requiring outside air to be blown through the sensitive electronics. This reduces the major causes of inverter failure - corrosion, dust, insect and animal damage. They can be used in high ambient temperature applications up to 60°C with reduced output ratings.

The OutBack VFX series is a ventilated version of the original sealed FX series modular inverter/charger that can be used for both small and large power systems. By allowing cooler outside airflow through the internal electronics, more AC power is available and operation in extremely hot environments is improved compared to the sealed FX series.

The full screened vent openings are "bug-proof" and the die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool in very hot environments even when operated at high power for extended periods. The VFX can be used in high ambient applications up to 60^oC (with reduced output ratings)

Ventilated inverters are a better choice when generator powered battery charging is an important part of system battery charging. The fan cooling allows far higher continuous battery charging current which results in shorter generator run time.

Use these accessories to to integrate power electronics into an Outback Power System, to connect it to conduit or to stack multiple inverters.

A Hub is required to connect more than one inverter to the same load or to connect inverters, MATEs and MX charge controllers to allow programming and monitoring of the entire system by the MATE.

The remote temperature sensor is important for accurate battery charging, especially if the batteries get very warm or cold. If used with a HUB, one temp. sensor can be shared by all inverters

The Sunny Island SI4248U is new to the USA, but has been available in a 230 volt 50 Hz version for use in Europe and developing countries for many years. It is a bi-directional battery inverter for stand-alone, off-grid applications or for adding battery backup to grid intertie systems that use SMA Sunny Boy inverters.

As a stand alone inverter, the Sunny Island converts DC electricity from a 48 volt battery to 120 VAC power. If a generator is used for backup power, it becomes a battery charger when the generator is running and can support the generator output when the load is larger than the generator can power alone. Several Sunny Island inverters can be combined with PV modules, wind, hydroelectric and fossil fuel generators to from a mini-grid remote power system. The SI4248U manages battery charging and can start and stop the generator when necessary.

When used to provide battery backup to a Sunny Boy grid-connected system, the Sunny Island AC input is connected to a circuit breaker in the main load center and its output is connected to an AC subpanel which is fed by the output of the Sunny Boy inverter(s) and which powers critical loads that will receive backup power in the event of a power failure. The Sunny Island is also connected to a 48 volt battery bank.

When the grid is operating, the Sunny Island passes the power generated by the PV system to the main load center and on to the grid. It also manages the batteries and charges them when necessary. When grid power fails, the Sunny Island supplies AC power to the subpanel, keeping the critical loads running. The AC power supplied to this subpanel keeps the Sunny Boy inverters in the PV systems operating. Power from the PV system can supply the critical load subpanel. If the PV system is generating more power than the loads require, the excess power is used by the Sunny Island to charge the batteries. If the demand from the loads is greater than the PV system can supply, the Sunny Island supplies the extra power necessary to keep the loads running. During the grid failure, the power system becomes a power "island" and continues to use all of the PV power. ETL listed.
