24VDC PRO-Verter 5000-120 AGS Operator Manual
GENERAL INFORMATION, THEORY OF OPERATION,
AND EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
PRO-Verter Introduction
The primary function of a Portable Remote Operation – Inverter/Charger (PRO-Verter) is to serve
as the central power management device in a circuit where both alternating current (AC) and direct
current (DC) are present and being used.
A PRO-Verter is designed specifically for operation between energy-storage batteries (DC) and
a fuel-driven generator or utility-grid (AC) power. When being used with a portable fuel-driven
generator and a bank of batteries, it creates a “hybrid” power system (HPS) that allows energy
storage technologies to play a critical role in applications where any combination of the following is
necessary:
• Backup power for critical loads when the primary power source fails
• Reducing generator burdens (fuel consumption, wet-stacking, maintenance, or logistic support)
• Durations of “silent” operation are critical
• Use of renewable power generation is desirable
• Less reliance on grid-utility power is desirable (peak shaving)
• Temporary replacement of inadequate grid or generator power during periods of peak power
demand (peak power delivery)
A PRO-Verter is a modular, portable component of the HPS architecture, and its flexible function
and design allows the operator to use it with technologies that collectively meet the specific mission
requirements in an application.
All PRO-Verters are “Plug & Play”-compatible with the Inter-Connect circuit and can be used with
additional PRO-Verters (PRO-Verter “stacking”) when high-power or multiple load voltages are
required.
AC and DC cables for a PRO-Verter are sold separately, as they must be correct for the voltage type
and their current-carrying ability.
