Introducing the Power Module System
The Trace Modular Power System incorporates all the components of an alternative energy installation (except
external AC and DC power sources) in a package designed to permit seamless integration of the components.
The modular approach enables you to order individual components or complete systems fully assembled, tested,
and inspected.
The Power Module System allows isolation of components, wiring, and safety circuitry in a secure cabinet that
can be weatherproofed for exterior installations. Cabinets can be stacked up to four high for integration of
batteries, inverters, controllers, circuit breakers, and associated devices. Each module can house individual or
multiple components.
The base configuration is supplied as individual components or in complete assemblies (inverters are shipped
separately) from the factory. Assembled systems can include as many or as few components as desired. For
example: use one standalone module to house vented liquid lead-acid batteries, and another to house electronic
components; or stack multiple modules to house sealed batteries and all other components in one
installation.System components provided with the modules can include AC and DC breakers, disconnects,
inverters, controllers, busses, DC shunt and bonding blocks, grounding blocks, wiring, and fasteners for field
installation. These components (and batteries) can also be shipped or acquired separately.
When ordering parts, always use the PMO- prefix.
