Key Features:

• Dual AC Inputs & Automatic Transfer Switch: Connects to two independent AC sources (grid, generator) and seamlessly switches to the active source for an uninterrupted power supply.
• Dual AC Outputs: Provides a no-break output for critical loads during outages and a separate output for non-essential appliances.
• Virtually Unlimited Power & Scalability: Up to 6 units can operate in parallel for significantly increased power output and charging capacity (consult a professional for configuration).
• Split Phase and Three Phase Operation (configurable): Offers flexibility for various power distribution needs.
• PowerControl & PowerAssist: Optimises generator/grid usage by preventing overload and supplementing insufficient power with batteries.
• Solar Energy Integration: Works seamlessly with solar charger controllers and grid-tie inverters to utilize solar power effectively.
• Comprehensive Monitoring and Control: This option supports various options for system configuration, monitoring, and control, including VE.Bus software, GX devices, and remote access capabilities (additional equipment might be required).

Benefits:

• Reliable Power Supply: Ensures continuous AC power for your appliances and equipment, even during outages or grid issues.
• Advanced Power Management: Optimises energy use by managing multiple power sources, prioritizing battery usage, and preventing overloads.
• Extreme Scalability: Allows for significant power expansion as your needs grow (with proper configuration).
• Flexible System Integration: Adapts to various system configurations, including off-grid, grid-tied, and backup power setups.
• Remote Monitoring and Control (optional): Provides convenient remote access for system management (additional equipment required).

Applications:

• Large Off-Grid Homes: Provides the core functionality for managing complex off-grid power systems with high power requirements.
• Marine and Yachting: Offers reliable power management and flexibility for various electrical needs on boats.
