Inverter /
Charger - Outback - FX Series
OutBack FX
and VFX inverters are
modular "building block" sinewave inverter / charger that
can be used for both residential and commercial off-grid applications
with battery storage. Inverters are available in two versions; a
sealed, fan-cooled FX version and a higher powered ventilated VFX
version. Each inverter/charger module is a complete power conversion
system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch.
Additional inverter/chargers can be added at any time either in
parallel (120VAC), series (120/240VAC), or even three-phase (120/208)
configurations. This allows the system to be tailored to the specific
needs of the application, both at the time of installation and into
the future. With the addition of an X-240 autotransformer, multiple
inverter systems can be set up to provide 120/240 VAC split-phase
output with the ability to provide full power on either 120VAC leg
of the system. Up to ten inverters can be connected together to
provide up to 36 kW of continuous power capacity with the use of
the HUB and the MATE controller.
The inverter's
powerful battery charger operates in five stages: BULK (constant
current output), ABSORB (constant voltage output), FLOAT (reduced
voltage output), SILENT (no charger output) and EQUALIZE (constant
voltage regulation overcharging). Charge time in each stage is adjustable
to provide control and to maximize the performance ot the charger
and battery system.
Each OutBack
inverter has one programmable, auxiliary relay output connection
(AUX). The AUX terminal provides 12VDC output to run 12V cooling
or ventilation fans or operate an external relay to perform other
functions, such as remote generator starting (two-wire), to disconnect
external charging sources (such as solar panels), or to turn on
a diversion load for voltage regulation.
The built-in
transfer switch is rated for 60 amps. When an external source of
external power (whether a generator or the utility grid) is detected
at the "AC in" terminal on the inverter. The switch operates
to rransfer the loads to the expernal power source and then activates
the battery charger to recharge the battery bank.
Inverters with
an "M-suffix" are an RV/Marine version. They have a transfer
switch that switches hot and neutral.
Outback inverters
come with a standard 2-year warranty and are listed to UL 1741.
There are
two different versions available:
|
Outback
Sealed Turbo
Designed
to survive harsh environments.
Turbo
versions include a fan to cool the heatsink.
These will survive high-humidity and corrosive salt air.

Outback
Ventilated
Higher
battery charging capabilities.
Great
for less generator battery charging time (and less fuel!).
This is due to better cooling of the internal components of
the inverter/charger.
