System Configuration
2–2 976-0043-01-01
Types of Applications
The Sine Wave Plus Inverter/Charger can be configured for the following
applications:
•
OFF-GRID (stand-alone) applications where no utility power is
available. See
Figure 2-17 through Figure 2-20 for illustrations of off-
grid applications.
• ON-GRID applications where it can operate the AC loads when the
Utility System (grid) fails, keep the batteries charged, and/or function
as an energy management controller. See
Figure 2-21 and Figure 2-22
for illustrations of on-grid applications.
Pre-Configuration Planning
Pre-configuration planning is essential to ensure optimal performance for
your system. Pre-configuration planning includes, but is not limited to,
the following considerations.
System Output
Requirements
❐
Single or dual inverters (based on output voltage and output watts
required)
❐
Output watts required (i.e., continuous capacity and surge capacity)
❐
Output voltage (120 Vac or 240 Vac)
System Input
Requirements
❐
Utility power
❐
AC generator (See “Generator Considerations” on page 2–19 )
❐
Renewable energy systems (i.e., PV arrays, wind turbines etc.)
Code Compliance
and Permits
❐
Local or national electrical codes
❐
Special permits or licenses (if required)
Important:
Be sure to consult with your local utility company and/or
permit office to ensure that the desired configuration will be code-
compliant. Be sure to obtain the proper licenses and permits as required
by law.
