24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
The AC INPUT Setting
The AC INPUT setting can control several aspects of the PRO-Verter’s AC-related functions:
• AC Power Management
• Generator/Grid
• Charge Amperage Rates
• Load Support Engagement (if installed)
•
Setting the AC Input for “Nominal-load” Conditions
The AC INPUT setting (FAVS-03) controls the total amount of continuous power (AC and DC) the
PRO-Verter can process under normal operating conditions.
The “continuous load(s)” should not exceed either of the following two conditions:
• The PRO-Verter’s continuous AC power when inverting
• The connected AC source’s (generator or grid-utility) continuous AC power when active
Note:
Load support can be used for brief intervals when the load may exceed the power available
from a connected AC source (i.e. generator or grid-utility). See section on “Overloading”.
When a PRO-Verter and external AC source (generator or grid-utility) are selected for an
application, it is imperative that the AC source be capable of meeting the full demand that the
PRO-Verter’s AC INPUT setting allows:
• The total AC load must be rated for continuous power that is “less” than the total power
the AC INPUT setting allows .
• The total DC loads must be rated for continuous power that is “less” than the maximum
DC AMPS that are available when in CHARGE mode .
Proper Loading and Power Distribution
The PRO-Verter can serve as a power distribution point for a generator or other AC power source
(grid-utility). This allows the external AC power source to support only a “single” load. Even though
there is only one AC connection between the AC source and the PRO-Verter, multiple AC and DC
loads can be supported by the PRO-Verter.
The operator must ensure that the cumulative total for all of the loads is less than the AC INPUT
(FAV-03) setting. This ensures that the sum total of all of the continuous loads handled by the
PRO-Verter does not exceed the continuous output limit of the connected AC source (generator or
grid-utility), and that when the AC source is available, there is enough power available for battery
charging to occur.
Note
: The AC METERS can assist in determining when the maximum continuous load limit on the
PRO-Verter has been reached.
