Outback Power Systems GTFX3048 3000W, 48V Grid-tie/Off-grid Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger for Wind Power & Solar systems -Sealed, 120 VAC/60 Hz

Outback Mate is needed to configure grid tie function, you can order it from our website if you don't have it.

TheSealed GTFX series is designed to survive in environments that would normally destroy other inverter/ chargers. Protection for internal components is provided by our die-cast aluminum chassis with a powder coated finish to prevent corrosion.
Internal and external cooling fins allow for passive heat transfer, enabling peak operating efficiencies as high as 93% and looking cool while doing it. Water and small particles are kept out through the generous use of gaskets and O-ring seals on all seams and openings. A protective conformal coating on all circuit boards provides the final line of defense against corrosion. The now standard externally mounted “TURBO” cooling system improves performance in hot conditions.

Solar. Wind. Hydro. Generator. No matter what your energy source, OutBack's products are engineered to provide your home or business with reliable electricity day-in and day-out. The OutBack modular system architecture allows your system to grow along with your power needs up to 36,000 watts. Power hungry appliances like washing machines, air conditioning and power tools are easily started by our inverter's substantial surge power capability. When not being used, the inverter enters a power save mode, which consumes as little as 3 watts, saving your battery power for when you need it the most. OutBack's innovative Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology gets the most from your solar array or can also control hydro or wind turbine charging sources. Complete system status and control is easily monitored by a single control, instead of requiring the user to keep an eye on multiple displays and status indicators.

Grid-Interactive renewable energy systems enable you to demonstrate your personal commitment to a renewable energy future. With the OutBack grid-interactive system, backup AC power is made available 24 hours a day in the event of a utility outage, providing reliable power and peace-of-mind. At night, the inverter's automatic power save mode ensures that energy is not wasted by needlessly charging your batteries from the utility grid. An average conversion efficiency of 91% using the California Energy Commission (CEC) test protocol provides greater savings and a shorter time period for system payback. OutBack's grid-interactive technology provides you more than a typical solar inverter, we also have an unmatched ability to utilize solar, wind and hydropower sources.

OutBack GTFX and GVFX inverters comply with UL1741 for utility-interactive inverters.

The FX Series Inverter/Charger offers a complete power conversion system—DC to AC, battery charging, and an AC Transfer Switch—and can be used for stand-alone or back-up applications.

OutBack Power Systems does everything possible to assure the components you purchase will function properly and safely when installed as instructed according to local and national electrical codes. Please read all of the following instructions and the instructions that come with any OutBack components included in your power system. Further instructions on individual FX set-ups as well as systems assemblies are included with the FX and VFX Series Inverter/Charger Installation Manual.

The OutBack Power Systems FX Series Inverter/Charger is ETL listed to UL1741 (Inverters, Converters, Controllers, and Interconnection System Equipment for Use with Distributed Energy Resources). All Mobile FX Series Inverter/Chargers are ETL listed to UL 458.

Grounding Instructions – Each FX should be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system. For most installations, the negative battery conductor should be bonded to the grounding system at one (and only one) point in the DC system. All installations must comply with all national and local codes and ordinances.
System grounding as required by the National Electric Code, ANSI /NFPA 70-1996, is the responsibility of the system installer.

GRID TIE / UTILITY INTERACTIVE CAPABLE
Able to sell solar, wind or hydro power back to the utility grid - Reduce your utility bill by spinning your meter backwards!

PROVIDES UTILITY BACK-UP POWER
Keeps your lights on when the power goes out as well as other loads like wells,TV, fridge, computer, garage door opener, alarm etc,.

WORKS AUTOMATICALLY
Built in transfer switch automatically disconnects the house loads from the utility grid and powers them from the inverter during an outage.

SAFE AND APPROVED
Listed to UL1741 standard as a non-islanding power inverter system for renewable energy applications.

ULTRA CLEAN AC POWER
Smooth, true sinewave AC output waveform - not a course stepped sinewave or modified square wave.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY CHARGER
Advanced charging algorithms provide fast recharging while increasing battery life up to 10 years.

FIELD SERVICEABLE
Both FX and VFX inverter/chargers can be upgraded or serviced - even in the field.

NETWORKED COMMUNICATIONS
All of OutBack products can be connected through a HUB to form a network with monitoring and control via a single MATE display

CAPABLE TECH SUPPORT HELP
You can call or email and ask questions of the engineers that designed your products - Tech support doesn’t get any better than that.

FEATURES:

• ZERO watts of AC power draw at night - automatic “silent” sell mode built in.
• Daily energy production on par with battery-less gridtie inverter systems
• Modular configuration allows easy system expansion and flexible design with up to 10 inverters interconnected.
• Integrated communication between the inverters and the charge controllers ensure proper operation
• Automatically optimizes the conversion effeciancy by matching the number of inverters to the amount of power being sold or used.
