Freedom SW 230V Owner’s Guide
Freedom Inverter/Charger Operation
If you have problems starting certain loads, ensure that:
•
the battery connections are tight and clean.
•
the DC cabling is no longer than the recommended length.
Refer to the
Freedom SW 230V Inverter/Charger Installation
Guide
for this information.
•
the AC wiring is of recommended size. Refer to the
Freedom
SW 230V Inverter/Charger Installation Guide
for this
information.
•
the battery is of sufficient capacity and is fully charged.
NOTE
: Many 24 V inverter battery banks have a capacity between
200–400 Ah. Refer to the
Freedom SW 230V Inverter/Charger
Installation Guide
for sizing requirements.
Operating Limits for Charger Operation
By default, the maximum charger output current is the rated charger
output current for the particular model. Using the SCP, you can
reduce the total output if you change the maximum charge rate (
Max
Chg Rate
) on the Freedom SW 230V Basic Settings menu or
Inverter Settings menu under Advanced Settings
.
The charger can operate within an AC input range of 170–270 volts.
The default settings are
170
and
270
, which are the
ACIn Lo Volt
and
ACIn Hi Volt
respectively. The
ACIn Lo Volt
setting has a
range of
170
–
220
volts and the
ACIn Hi Volt
setting has between
240
–
270
volts.
AC Frequency
The charger can also be configured to accept and
operate from a wide AC source frequency of 40–68 Hz. Therefore,
the Freedom SW 230V can charge your batteries even when
incoming AC voltage is less than ideal. The default settings are
45
and
55
Hz, which are the
ACIn Lo Freq
and
ACIn Hi Freq
settings respectively.
Power sharing
The Freedom SW 230V charger uses incoming
AC or shore power (see following note) to charge the batteries. The
charger shares incoming AC power with AC loads on the line. The
AC loads have priority, which means that the charger will reduce its
output with large AC loads and increase the output again when the
AC load decreases. The regulatory maximum for continuous AC
