PRO-Verter Circuits and Functions
A PRO-Verter is the central power management device (i.e. the “brain”) for a Hybrid or High-
Efficiency Electrical System. At its core, the PRO-Verter has a combination inverter/charger, which
operates in concert with its supporting circuits to provide the operator with a multifaceted solution
and seamless power for an application:
Primary Circuits
• INVERTER – Transforms DC from a battery to AC for use by a load
• CHARGER – Converts AC from generator or grid to DC for charging batteries
• PHOTOVOLTAIC – Optimizes and regulates DC power from PV panels to charge batteries.
Support Circuits
• DC Voltage – “Battery Monitor” circuit
• AGS – “Automatic Generator Start/Stop” circuit
Recovery Circuits
• AC-powered System recovery (overdischarged batteries)
• PV-mediated System recovery (overdischarged batteries)
Both the primary and the support circuit functions of the PRO-Verter are managed by native
programming, which can be adjusted via User Interfaces.
If the PRO-Verter is connected to an over-discharged batteries, the recovery circuit enables the
PRO-Verter to restore the batteries to service using either a 120 VAC or PV power source. These
circuits are not programmable. The AC-powered System recovery circuit an optional feature.
