STUDER Innotec | Xtender |
1 Introduction
Congratulations! You are about to install and use a device from the Xtender range. You have chosen a
When the Xtender is connected to a generator or network, the latter directly supplies the consumers, and the Xtender works like a battery charger and backup device if necessary. The powerful battery charger has an exceptional high efficiency and power factor correction (PFC) close to 1. It guarantees excellent battery charging in all situations. The charge profile is freely configurable according to the type of battery used or the method of usage. The charge voltage is corrected depending on the temperature, thanks to the optional external sensor. The power of the charger is modulated in real time dependent according to the demand of the equipment connected at the Xtender output and the power of the energy source (network or generator). It can even temporarily backup the source if the consumer demand exceeds the source capacity.
The Xtender continuously monitors the source to which it is connected (network or generator) and disconnects itself immediately if the source is missing, disturbed or does not correspond to the quality criteria (voltage, frequency, etc.). It will then function in independent mode, thanks to the integrated inverter. This inverter, which has an extremely robust design, benefits from STUDER Innotec’s many years of experience and expertise in this area. It could supply any type of load without faults, enjoying reserves of additional power that is unmatched on the market. All your equipment will be perfectly provided with energy and protected from power outages in systems where energy supply is unpredictable (unreliable network) or voluntarily limited or interrupted, such as hybrid installations on remote sites or mobile installations.
