24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
“Overload” Conditions
Over-loading of the PRO-Verter can occur under the following conditions:
• Load AC power demand is greater than the inverter’s rated power output
• Load AC power demand is greater than the rated output of the connected AC power source
(generator or grid-utility)
• Load AC power demand is greater than the AC INPUT setting, which may cause the PRO-Verter
to disconnect from the AC source when in pass-through (charging) mode
In each of these scenarios, the solution only requires a reduction in the Load AC power demand.
Use the AC METERS to confirm the load is reduced to prescribed levels and proceed with normal
operation.
Load Support Function
Load Support function is used to support two models of operation:
1. Load Support Model
2. Peak Power Model
It is an automatic function of the PRO-Verter that combines power from a generator/grid AC source
with the inverter’s AC output to briefly support high AC loads that exceeds the AC source’s or the
PRO-Verter’s rated AC power output.
It is typically used in operations where the PRO-Verter is connected to a generator or Grid AC
power source that is rated for LESS AC output than the Inverter output power rating of the PRO-
Verter.
It automatically engages once the load exceeds the AC INPUT setting (FAVS-03), and because it
requires power from the batteries, it should only be used if the excessive loads are brief in duration
and intermittent in scope.
For Load Support to function, the PRO-Verter must be connected to an active AC power source. It
cannot engage if there is no active external AC power source.
The PRO-Verter can also be configured to perform Load Support as a manual intervention method
when conditions warrant. This is also referred to as the PEAK POWER MODEL.
Consult the PRO-Verter I-Plate to determine if the PRO-Verter is equipped with the Load Support
feature, and for specific instructions on manual engagement of Load Support for a particular
application.
Lag Times and Surge Rates
The PRO-Verter’s inverter function can provide up to 130% of its rated power output for brief
surges demanded to support a load. Most generators are also rated to support brief surge loads. A
PRO-Verter should be paired with an appropriately-rated generator, but if it is paired with a smaller
