MAXIMUM SYSTEM AC VOLTAGE:   

Single phase   

 

230 VAC at 50 Hz 

Parallel stacked   

230 VAC at 50 Hz per AC output leg 

Three Phase  

 

230 VAC at 50 Hz per AC output leg (limit three)/400 VAC at 50 Hz between AC output legs 

RECOMMENDED DC VOLTAGE RANGE:     

 

12V systems   

 

11 – 16 VDC 

 

  

24V Systems  

 

22 – 32 VDC       

     

48V Systems   

 

44 – 64 VDC  

 

 

MAXIMUM DC INPUT CURRENT:  12V units = 600 amps  /  24 V units = 300 amps  /  48V units = 150 amps 

This is the most sustained current the FX will draw when starting very large AC loads.  It is not used for sizing the DC 

disconnect or selecting DC cable gauge.   It is used to select the minimum reasonable battery capacity.    

AC INPUT OPERATING VOLTAGE RANGE:  200-260 VAC 

Voltages outside of this range may damage AC loads connected to the FX’s AC output. 

MAXIMUM AC INPUT CURRENT:   30 amps at 230 VAC 50 Hz 

The AC input on the FX supplies power for two separate internal AC circuits – the AC transfer switch and the battery charging 

system.  The battery charger will “back off” when the combined total of the AC load and the battery charger exceed the 

programmed AC input current limit.  The FX’s default setting for this parameter is 24 amps. 

RECOMMENDED MAXIMUM AC PASS THROUGH CURRENT:    

 

30 amps at 230 VAC 50 Hz for each FX 

MAXIMUM AC CURRENT FOR AC BATTERY CHARGER:    

FX “E” series: 7 amps AC at 230 VAC maximum 

 

VFX “E” series: 10 amps AC at 230 VAC maximum 

 

Note: Factory settings are 4 amps AC for the Export version. 

OPERATING FREQUENCY RANGE:   

The FX will accept an AC source within the frequency range of 45 - 55 Hz.   Once the FX connects to the AC source, if the 

frequency goes outside of the range 45 - 55 Hz, the FX will record a warning.  If the frequency of the AC source is outside of 

the range of 41-59 Hz, then the FX will drop the AC source. 

NOMINAL AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE:   

One FX will provide 230 VAC 50 Hz single phase 
Two or more FX’s may be parallel stacked for 230 VAC 50 Hz single phase 
Three FX’s can be 3-phase stacked for 230/400 VAC 50 Hz 

 

 

 

35 amps Peak (for 160 milliseconds) current limit 

 

Inverter will shut down after 5 seconds of operation in current limit
