Bonding between conduit connections is not automatic and must be provided as part of the
installation.
●
Read guide before installing or using.
●
Do not cover or obstruct ventilation openings.
●
Do not mount in a zero-clearance compartment – overheating may result.
●
Do not expose the unit to rain or spray.
●
Do not connect AC Output to any other source of power. Unit damage may occur.
●
For AC Input and AC Output, use wires suitable for at least 75°C.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
The Vulcan Inverter-Charger (
Vulcan
) is a high efficiency DC-to-AC power conversion and battery
energy storage device that powers 120Vac loads from its internal 1.4kWh lithium-ion iron
phosphate (LiFePO4/LFP) battery or with one or more 2.6kWh or 3.6kWh Energy Stores. Vulcan
helps users achieve energy independence and maximizes the return on investment (ROI) of
small scale battery energy storage and power systems with a solution that reduces installation
time and complexity.
What Vulcan can Do
Vulcan can provide power protection, support energy independence and savings as follows:
●
Save electricity/energy costs under time-of-use (TOU) rate plans by running during
‘peak’ hours and charging during ‘off-peak’ hours when electricity costs are lower;
●
As a standby/backup system to automatically back up critical loads during a power
outage;
●
Save fuel with a gasoline generator by carrying the load when the generator is switched
off - generator firming;
●
Collect the sun’s energy from solar panels as an off-grid solar energy storage system to
store energy and take electrical loads completely off-grid and cut electricity costs;
●
Protect your devices and improve electrical power quality by filtering grid/shore power
and providing low AC voltage (voltage sag/brown out) protection.
