INVERTERS

System Design

to start large motors while their high efciency makes them eco-

nomical with power when running small loads like a stereo or a

small light. They can power most lighting, televisions, appliances

and computers very well. Unfortunately, this type of inverter may

destroy some rechargeable tools and ashlights, and laser printers

and copiers. They may not allow many laser printers, copiers,

light dimmers and some variable speed tools to operate. Equip-

ment with silicon controlled rectiers (SCRs) will not operate.

Some audio equipment will have a background buzz that may

be annoying to music connoisseurs.

Grid-Tie Inverters

Grid-tie, or utility intertie, inverters convert DC power from PV

modules into AC power to be fed into the utility grid. There are

two major types of grid-tie inverters; string inverters and low

voltage input inverters.

The SMA Sunny Boy, Fronius and Xantrex GT-3 inverters are

string inverters. The name “string” comes from the way the PV

modules are wired together, in series to achieve a higher voltage.

These inverters are designed to run at voltages up to 600 VDC.

String wiring is faster to install, more efcient and allows the use

of smaller gauge wire. DC voltage this high can be very danger-

ous and life-threatening, so string inverters should be installed

and serviced by qualied electricians.

A grid-tie PV system uses the utility company, in effect, as

its storage battery. When the sun is shining, your electricity

comes from the PV array, via the

inverter. If the PV array is gen-

erating more power than you are

using, the excess is sold to the

power utility company through

your electric meter, by making

the meter run backward. When

you need more power than the

PV array can supply, the utility

makes up the difference. This

type of system makes the most

sense in most cases where you

have utility power, because there

are no batteries to maintain or

replace. Unfortunately, if the util-

ity power goes down, this type of

inverter will go off, too, regard-

less of whether or not the sun is

shining.

Off-Grid Inverters

Off-grid, or standalone, inverters convert DC power stored in bat-

teries to AC power that can be used as needed. Select an inverter for

your power system based on the maximum load you will be pow-

ering, the maximum surge required, AC output voltage required,

input battery voltage and optional features needed. High quality

standalone inverters are available in sizes from 100 watts, for

powering notebook

computers and fax

machines from

your car, to 60

kilowatts, for pow-

ering a commercial

operation. The size

of an inverter is

measured by its

maximum continu-

ous output in watts.

This rating must be

larger than the total

wattage of all of the

AC loads you plan

to run at one time. Wattage of most AC loads can be determined

from a tag or label on the appliance, usually located near where

the power cord enters, or from the owner’s manual. If the inverter

is expected to run induction motors, like the ones found in top

loading washers, dryers, dishwashers and large power tools, it

must be designed to surge, or deliver power many times its rat-

ing for short periods of time while these motors start. Standalone

inverters are available with two basic power output waveforms:

sine wave, and modied sine wave (the proper term is actually

modied square wave, but since modied sine wave is much more

commonly used, we use that term in this catalog).

Grid-tie inverters, dual-function inverters and utility companies

deliver a sine wave. Exeltech, Xantrex XW Series, SMA Sunny

Island, Magnum MS and OutBack FX inverters are sine wave

off-grid inverters. Sine wave inverters have a higher cost, but

they can operate almost anything that can be operated on utility

power. Exeltech sine wave inverters are an excellent choice for

power systems running audio or telecommunications equipment

and other electronics that are waveform-sensitive. The OutBack

and Xantrex XW series inverters can be ganged together for up

to 36 kW of output and can operate off-grid or grid-tie. We now

carry Samlex sine wave PST inverters for a lower cost, a small-

system sine wave alternative.

Xantrex TR series, Magnum, and Samlex PSE inverters have

modied sine wave output with harmonic distortion of around

40%. They are an economical choice in power systems where

waveform is not critical. Their high surge capacity allows them

Inverters

The inverter is the heart of all but the smallest power systems.

It is an electronic device that converts direct current DC power

from batteries or solar modules into alternating current AC

power to operate lights, appliances or anything that normally

operates on power supplied by the utility grid. Inverters come

in many varieties, sizes and qualities and offer various features

that specialize them for particular applications.
