Operator and Maintenance Manual for the PRO-Verter S 3000
PRELIMINARY
Selecting a Generator/Grid AC Source
PRO-Verters can be used with grid/utility or generator AC power sources and can be easily
programmed to work with the amperage limits of both the AC source circuits and the AC load
circuits. Once programmed, the PRO-Verter effectively calculates and then regulates how much
power is delegated between these circuits to prevent overload conditions while maintaining
(prioritizing) the load.
Acceptable generators/grid AC sources for use with a single PRO-Verter should provide power
between 1 kW and 10 kW, and ALL source AC power must provide consistent, pure, sine wave AC
output. The PRO-Verter will not accept modified sine wave AC, or “dirty”, power. Fluctuations in
voltage or frequency during operation may have an adverse affect on PRO-Verter functions.
Many factors should be considered when selecting a generator for use with a PRO-Verter, including:
• Auto-start/stop capability
• Physical size
• Weight
• Fuel consumption
• AC output rating
If a particular generator is desired based on the application, then one of the following power models
will likely be used:
• Hybrid Model:
The peak AC load should not exceed the maximum continuous AC output of both
the PRO-Verter and AC power source (i.e.,
Peak Load AC ≤ AC PRO-Verter AC
).
