Prosine Inverter Load Sense Mode

Prosine Inverter Load Sense Mode

When the inverter is ON, it can be set up so that it periodically searches for the presence of a load. The unit will “sleep” if the load it detects is less than the search mode setting. This “sleep” mode shuts off much of the power control circuitry of the Prosine inverter/charger, reducing the standby current draw considerably. The Prosine inverter/charger detects the presence of a load by sending out pulses depending on user settings. Full output power is available with the detection of a load. You can set the minimum load required to start the inverter, by either changing the configuration DIP switches on the side of the chassis, or using the ACS Panel (Advanced Control System Panel). The INVERT LED will blink approximately once per second when the Prosine inverter/charger is in this search mode. There are four choices for the setting of the minimum load start power when using the chassis DIP switches (the ACS Panel offers a much wider range of load start-power settings):

Setting

0watts

10watts

25watts

50watts

Description

Inverter always on, search mode disabled

Set to the load rating that you want the inverter to power. Example Set at 50-watts, a 75-watt light bulb will activate the inverter; a 25-watt bulb will not activate inverter.

Operating Limits for Inverter Operation

Power Output:. The invert mode output rating for your Prosine inverter/charger is:

Prosine 2.5 = 2500 watts or 21 amps @ 120VAC; surge to 4kw

Prosine 3.0 = 3000 watts or 25 amps @120VAC; surge to 4kw

The units should be able to operate all AC loads rated at or below their respective power ratings. Some high horsepower induction motors used in pumps and other motor operated equipment require very high surge currents to start and the Prosine inverter/charger may have difficulty starting these loads. If you have problems with the Prosine inverter/charger starting certain loads, ensure that battery connections are solid, DC and AC wiring is of sufficient size, and that the battery is of sufficient capacity and fully charged.

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.
