RATINGS
AC INPUT FREQUENCY RANGE:
This is the AC input source’s frequency range that the FX will accept and stay connected. If the AC input source is out of this
range, the FX will not connect or stay connected.
All “Export” FXs 45 - 55 Hz
MAXIMUM AC OUTPUT CURRENT:
This is the amount of “Surge” current that the FX will supply. This amount of surge can only be supplied for a split second.
After this split second the FX lowers this surge limit. Depending on the size of the surge, the FX can be overloaded for a
minimum time of 5 seconds to a maximum time of 30 minutes. When passing an AC source through the FX via the AC
transfer switch, the maximum AC output fault current will be determined by the AC source.
All “Export” FXs 25 AAC per FX for 1 millisecond
MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS OUTPUT POWER:
Each FX has a maximum continuous output power it can deliver. This maximum continuous output power is hidden in the
model number of the FX. For instance, an FX2012MT has a maximum continuous output power of 2000VA (volt-amps). The
last two numbers (12 in this case) can be changed to 0’s because they refer to the battery voltage.
FX2012ET 2000 VA (VA = volt-amps)
FX2024ET 2000 VA
FX2348ET 2300 VA
VFX2612E 2600 VA
VFX3024E 3000 VA
VFX3048E 3000 VA
MAXIMUM OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AMPACITY:
This rating specifies the proper overcurrent protection ampacity. OBDC are panel mount circuit breakers. FX’s used in home
installations should use properly sized DC circuit breakers. DC breakers include both overcurrent protection and disconnect
capability.
MODEL AMPACITY DC BREAKER
FX2012ET 250 amps OBDC-250
FX2024ET 175 amps OBDC-175
FX2348ET 100 amps OBDC-100
