Common to all units:

  • Automatic Bypass: Supply is maintained by the generator if the inverter is off line.
  • Low distortion, high power load presented to generator during charging for best generator performance.
  • All units available in 220 / 230 / 240 VAC 50 or 60 Hz output (240 / 415, 230 / 380V three phase plus neutral connection). 120 / 208 VAC on application.
  • Data Logging Remote Access: RS232 port, standard data logging and remote access via modem, satellite, GSM and CDMA technology.
  • Cooling: Convection and thermostatically controlled fans.
  • Enclosures: Electronics IP50, transformer and heatsink IP23. Weatherproof enclosures or rack mounting are available on request.
  • Protection: Over current trip, over voltage, over temperature, reverse polarity, fast electronic trip, transient over voltage protection.

Standards:

All inverters are designed to AS3100 / AS2604 / AS61000.3.5 and the draft AS/NZ standard for grid connect inverters.
Low distortion, high power presented to to generator during charging for best generator performance.
Refer to sales staff for details of applicable compliance testing.

PSA Inverter Programming Example.pdf

This is a worked example, showing how to set up the parameters of a RAPS inverter for a solar-diesel remote power system. It was prepared by the Renewable Energy Centre at the Brisbane North Institute of TAFE, as part of their Hybrid Energy Systems course.

 

*AC output voltages of 110, 120, 220 and 230 are available on application.
* DC operating voltage range 92% to 130% of nominal.
