Inverter Functions
Battery-to-AC inverting which delivers power to run backup loads and other functions
∼ Provides split-phase output
∼ Adjustable range of output voltage
∼ Settable nominal output frequency
AC-to-battery charging (OutBack systems are battery-based)
∼ Accepts a wide variety of AC sources
∼ Requires split-phase input
Uses battery energy stored from renewable resources
∼ Can utilize stored energy from many sources (PV arrays, wind turbines, etc.)
∼ OutBack FLEXmax charge controllers will optimize PV power production as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
Dual AC inputs allow direct connection to utility grid and AC generator
Rapid transfer between AC source and inverter output with minimal delay time
Uses MATE3 System Display and Controller (sold separately) for user settings as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
Stackable in parallel configuration up to ten inverters
Certified by ETL to UL1741, CSA C22.2, and IEC 62109-1
Field-upgradeable firmware
Seven selectable input modes for different applications
∼ Generator
∼ Support
∼ Grid Tied
∼ UPS
∼ Backup
∼ Mini Grid
∼ Grid Zero
GS8048A
8000 watts (8 kW) continuous power at 48 Vdc
16.97 kVA peak surge capacity
Modular internal design allows low idle consumption, high efficiency at both high and low power operation
GS4048A
4000 watts (4 kW) continuous power at 48 Vdc
8.48 kVA peak surge capacity
IMPORTANT:
The Radian inverter is not intended for use with the OutBack MATE or MATE2 System
Display and Controller. It is only compatible with the MATE3 system display.
NOTE: This product has a settable AC output range. In this book, many references to the output refer
to the entire range. However, some references are made to 120/240 Vac or 60 Hz output. These are
intended as examples only.
