Power Inputs

AC Inputs

• Dual AC inputs: one for grid power (priority #1) and one for generator power (priority #2). Both can be connected simultaneously without reconfiguration when switching power sources.
• Generator input designed to tolerate waveform distortion, minimizing unnecessary inverter activation due to gritty generator outputs.
• Programmable voltage and frequency thresholds for each AC input, allowing users to set when to switch from grid or generator to inverter.
• Ability to initiate generator start via the “Status Relay” contact, programmable to activate upon grid power loss.

Solar Input

• Direct connection for solar charge controllers through the battery charger’s external DC input, seamlessly integrating solar power into the system.
• ONLINE Mode prioritizes batteries and inverter over grid power, ideal for primarily solar-powered operations while still utilizing grid power when available.

Battery Charging

• Features a 4-stage adaptive battery charger with optional equalization (manual initiation required).
• Uses an adaptive algorithm during the bulk phase to assess battery condition, ensuring subsequent charging stages are based on actual battery health rather than fixed time periods, thereby extending battery life.
• Fully programmable battery voltage thresholds to control charging initiation.

Transfer Switch

• Zero transfer time when switching from inverter to grid. The inverter synchronizes with grid waveform and transitions instantly at zero crossing.
• Less than 16ms transfer time when switching from grid to inverter. Upon grid loss, the transfer relay switches to inverter power seamlessly within 16 milliseconds.

Surge Capacity

• The EVO™ offers 3 times its continuous power surge capability, providing robust support for high-demand applications.
• Large power overload allowances enable sizing the inverter smaller to handle heavy surge loads, reducing overall system costs.

State-of-the-Art Technology

• Operates at 165 million instructions per second, ensuring rapid load and response times for dynamic power demands.
• “Bullet-Proof Intelligence” with 9 physical protection monitors, scanned up to 10,000 times per second to detect and mitigate fault conditions, preventing product damage.
• Optional EVO-RC remote control allows for detailed performance data capture, fault recording, and trend analysis via a removable 16GB SD card.
• Equipped with five temperature sensors and two-speed controlled cooling fans, optimizing cooling efficiency and reducing noise and energy consumption.

Applications

• Ideal for boats, RVs, trucks, and specialty vehicles requiring reliable and efficient power solutions.
• Perfect for alternative energy systems, off-grid living, cabins, remote locations, and areas with unreliable utility power.
• Essential for back-up and emergency power applications, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical systems.
