Section 1: Features

Over-Current Protection When the AC loads connected to the Prosine inverter/charger exceed 50 amps, the inverter will instantaneously reduce the output voltage until the loads on the inverter are reduced. If the overload continues, the inverter will shut down. The unit will automatically restart after a calculated recovery time.

High-Temperature Shut Down When the inverter detects a high-temperature condition internally, the inverter will shut down. When the internal temperature cools by at least 6°C (11°F) the unit will automatically restart.

Audible Fault Alarm The Prosine inverter/charger features a user-enable audible alarm to alert you in the event of a fault condition. The audible alarm is accompanied by blinking LEDs (on the control panel) or by a fault code display (on the ACS control panel). There are four fault conditions at which the audible alarm will sound:

Battery high-voltage

Battery low-voltage

System over-temperature

Communication error or temporary fault

Visual Fault Code Display If an error occurs, the Prosine inverter/charger control panel will display an error code that you can use to determine the cause of the error. Three LEDs will flash on the standard control panel to describe the error. On the ACS control panel, the error code will be displayed on the LCD display. A table of fault codes and likely causes, along with corrective measures to take, is provided in “Appendix C: Troubleshooting”.

PS3.0, PS2.5 specifications

Xantrex Technology has made significant strides in the power electronics sector with the introduction of their PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverter models. These inverters are designed primarily for solar energy applications, offering reliable and efficient power conversion for residential and commercial solar installations. The PS series stands out in the market due to its advanced features, innovative technologies, and user-friendly characteristics.

One of the main features of the Xantrex PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverters is their high efficiency rating, typically above 97%. This means that a minimal amount of energy is lost during conversion, allowing users to maximize their solar energy utilization. Additionally, these inverters come with a wide input voltage range, making them versatile and capable of handling various solar panel configurations.

Both models are equipped with advanced MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology. This feature optimizes the energy output from solar panels by constantly adjusting the operating point to ensure maximum power is extracted, even in variable weather conditions or partial shading. This capability significantly enhances the overall energy harvest from solar systems.

Another notable characteristic is their compact and lightweight design, which facilitates easy installation and integration into existing systems. The inverters are also designed with robust thermal management solutions, ensuring they operate effectively even in high-temperature environments. This durability extends their lifespan and increases reliability, critical factors for any solar installation.

Xantrex has also prioritized user experience with the PS2.5 and PS3.0 models by providing a built-in monitoring system. Users can access real-time data on energy production, performance metrics, and system status through a user-friendly interface. This connectivity allows for quick troubleshooting and maintenance, thus enhancing the overall efficiency of solar energy systems.

Safety is paramount in the design of these inverters. They meet stringent international safety standards and come equipped with comprehensive protection features, including over-voltage, under-voltage, and short-circuit protection. This ensures the inverter operates safely, protecting both the user and the connected solar array.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's PS2.5 and PS3.0 inverters are engineered with cutting-edge features and technologies that cater to the evolving needs of solar energy users. Their efficiency, adaptability, and focus on safety make them an excellent choice for those looking to invest in renewable energy solutions. As the demand for sustainable energy continues to rise, Xantrex is poised to play a significant role in the market with these innovative inverter solutions.
