Introduction
1.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Mini Magnum Panel (MMP) enclosure, part of a new line of
panel systems from Magnum Energy. Installing an inverter system is now as simple as mounting
the MMP enclosure, installing the inverter, connecting the battery bank, and if needed, bringing in
AC power from a generator or the utility. The inverter’s required AC and DC disconnects and wire
connection points are all together, and integrated in one self-contained enclosure.
This unit has been speci
fi
cally designed to combine all of the major components required for a
renewable energy system into a single, easy to install pre-wired enclosure. This includes: inverter/
battery disconnect, AC overcurrent protection, grounding connections, and a full system inverter
bypass switch as a convenient way to isolate the inverter for battery maintenance.
Designed for single inverter applications, this enclosure features convenient front panel operation
and the optional front panel remote allows easy Magnum inverter set up, monitoring, and operation.
In addition to saving time and money with a simple and easy inverter installation, this enclosure
ensures safety and reliability by providing a UL and CSA certi
fi
ed, code compliant system.
What makes the MMP enclosure stand out from the competition?
• It is engineered to combine the ease and cost savings of a pre-wired, factory-integrated
system with the
fl
exibility of a single person,
fi
eld installed power system.
• The self-contained enclosure system is convenient and space-saving, reducing installation time
and cost compared to a conventional approach using multiple interconnected components.
• Multiple models are available to meet the
fl
exibility and power demands of your application.
• Speci
fi
cally designed to
fi
t Magnum inverters, but easily adaptable to connect other inverter
systems in 12, 24, or 48 VDC standardized con
fi
gurations.
• Includes a built-in AC bypass switch with full system current capability, and a DC disconnect
breaker for safe and easy servicing of the inverter and/or battery bank.
• Additional space to install up to eight
½” (12.7mm) wide DIN rail-mounted breakers or four
1” (25.4mm) wide back-mounted breakers for use as
DC load breakers; or, space to install PV
disconnects or PV-Ground Fault Protection (PV-GFP).
• A full system capacity DC shunt (500 amps) installed to allow easy connection to a state-of-
charge battery monitor.
• AC/DC wiring connections and circuit breaker operations are easily accessible from the front.
Regulatory Compliance
The MMP has been designated as Interconnection System Equipment (ISE) and has been evaluated
by Intertek Testing Services (also known as ETL). ETL is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory
(NRTL) and has listed the MMP enclosure to the following product safety standards and ratings:
Standards
• UL1741 Standard for Safety of Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System
Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources (Edition 2)
• CSA C22.2 No. 107.1, General Use Power Supplies – R2006 (Edition 3)
Ratings
• Maximum battery input: 160VDC
• Maximum PV input voltage (DC): 300VDC
• Maximum DC input short circuit current (DC): 10,000 AIC
• Operating voltage range (AC): 120-240VAC nominal
• Normal operation range: 5000 VA @25°C (MMP)
