Introduction
Magnum Energy’s Series Stacking Interface (ME-SSI) kit allows
two MS4024 models to be connected together in a “series stacked”
confi guration to provide 120VAC and 240VAC outputs. When con-
nected together in a series, the AC output of each inverter continues
to provide 120VAC, but the two 120VAC output waveforms are also
phase locked and synchronized 180° out-of-phase from each other
to provide 240VAC. This is commonly referred to as a 120/240VAC
split-phase or as a 240VAC single-phase with a center-tap neutral,
and is the same AC voltage confi guration that most utility companies
connect to houses.
While inverting, a series stacked confi guration allows you to oper-
ate 240VAC loads at twice the power that is available from a single
inverter; and, the ability to provide the power of each inverter sepa-
rately to operate 120VAC loads.
While charging, a series stacked confi guration allows the battery
bank to be independently charged up to twice the power available
from a single inverter; and if needed, provides back-up power for
your 120/240VAC loads during a utility black-out.
