Welcome to OutBack Power Technologies
Thank you for purchasing the OutBack Radian Series Inverter/Charger. This product offers a complete
power conversion system between batteries and AC power. It can provide backup power, sell power
back to the utility grid, or provide complete stand-alone off-grid service.
Figure 1 Radian Series Inverter/Charger
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.
Designed to be integrated as part of an OutBack
Grid/Hybrid™ system
Battery-to-AC inverting which delivers split-phase power
(100/200 Vac to 120/240 Vac at 60 or 50 Hz)
Model GS8048A can continuously produce 8 kVA (33 Aac)
Model GS4048A can continuously produce 4 kVA (16 Aac)
Mounts easily with supplied mounting plate
All terminals exit at the bottom of the inverter, allowing the
installer to use a single distribution box; the GS Load Center
(GSLC) is specifically designed for this purpose
Uses spring-based AC terminals instead of screw-based
terminals; this eliminates torque requirements and periodic
re-tightening
Uses the MATE3™ System Display and Controller (sold
separately) for user interface as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
Uses the HUB™ Series Communications Manager for
networking as part of a Grid/Hybrid system
Features versatile mounting locations for the MATE3, HUB,
FLEXmax charge controller, and GSLC
The venting on the cover allows mounting of multiple Radian
inverters side by side with minimal clearance between them
Up to 10 Radian inverter/chargers can be stacked together
