Inverters ~ Convert DC to AC Power

The benefit using an inverter to supply electricity

An inverter is the heart of all power systems, that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The AC power can then be used by electrical appliances and machinery. Inverters are used in a wide range of applications, from powering small appliances, tools, and power backup systems, through to the operation of heavy duty machinery in factories, farms, and commercial operations.

The Powerhouse of your Electricity Generation System

The inverter sits between your electrical appliance and the battery bank, solar panel, wind turbine or generator, converting the DC current into AC power for use.

Inverter Solutions ~ Alternative Power for Rural, Country, Remote, Off-grid, or simply a Back-Up Electrical Supply

Genkit can provide effective inverter solutions for whatever requirement you may have, whether it's an office backup power system, remote power requirement as with building, construction work or camping, or large-scale backup power for a commercial situation.

For information on Modified Sinewave Inverters, see our Genergiser.com website

Transportable Inverters ~ modified sinewave

Genkit provides small-scale modified sinewave inverters, for domestic use and portability.

Simply plug your appliances or tools into the inverter for 240 volt power when you need it.

The inverter charges the battery bank while you're driving, your engine is running, or plug it into mains power back at base or home (for models with chargers).

Genkit ~ Suppliers of OutBack FX Series Sinewave Inverters

The OutBack modular 'building block' sinewave inverter/chargers can be used for both small and large power systems in both residential and commercial applications.

Each Outback inverter/charger module is a complete system - DC to AC inverter battery charger and AC transfer switch. Additional inverter/chargers can be connected at any time in either parallel (230 Vac) or three phase (230Y400 Vac) configurations, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific power requirements of the application.

Up to ten inverter/chargers can be connected together to provide up to 30kW of continuous power using a HUB10 communications manager and MATE system display. The FX series also features a programmable AUX relay that can be used for generator start-up, alarms & more. Smooth sinewave output, with high efficiency (92% max), high surge capability & low idle current.

All units feature:

30A automatic AC transfer relay. Powder coated all aluminium die-cast chassis for maximum heat dissipation. Conformal coated circuit boards to resist corrosion. Designed to allow easy field servicing and repair.

Specifications

• Input Voltage: 11.8-16.5; 22-33 VDC
• Output Voltage: 230 Vac (+/- 5%)
• Output Frequency: 50Hz (+/- 0.04%) Sinewave
• Power draw in search mode: less than 0.5W
• Power draw in on mode (idle): 20W typical
• Load sensing: Programmable down to 1W
• Max. Efficiency: 93%
• Warranty: Two years

OutBack FX Series

The OutBack FX series inverter/chargers are designed to survive harsh environments anywhere in the world. Their unique sealed, gasketed die-cast aluminium chassis protects the electronics against dust, corrosion, animals & insects. The FX series can be used is high ambient temperature applications up to 60 deg. C with reduced output ratings. All Programmed setpoints are stored in permanent (NOV-RAM) memory to eliminate the need to re-programme the system after a shutdown or battery replacement.

OutBack VFX Series

The Outback VFX series (vented) is designed for use in more protected environments. A cooling fan circulates outside air through the inverter/charger to allow higher continuous power capacity. A removable, washable intake filter is included with all VFX models.

MATE System Controller & Display

Complete system controller for both FX inverters and MX60 PV charge controller. Provides display of operation, allows control and adjustments of set points, and co-ordinates the operation of entire system to maximise performance. A single MATE can communicate with 4 OutBack products using the HUB-4 or 10 using the HUB-10. Can be mounted up to 300m away.

Includes 4-line LCD display, 15m cable & clock to enable programming of the inverter operation based upon time of day and day of week. RS-232 port for connection of a PC.
