Outback GTFX and GVFX Grid Intertie Inverters and Systems 

The Outback GTFX and GVFX series is a grid-tie version of the FX inverters.  Available as either turbo cooled and sealed, the GTFX, or internally ventilated, the GVFX.  With these inverters you can sell solar, wind and hydro power back to the utility grid.  When the utility power goes out, the inverter will automatically switch to battery power and your renewable sources to run your critical loads.  The inverter can be set so that either utility power or your renewable sources will recharge the battery after an outage.  To prevent AC power draw at night, automatic "silent" sell mode is built in.  Stacked inverters optimize conversion efficiency by matching the number of inverters to the amount of power being sole or used.  Daily energy production is within a few percentage points of a batteryless grid tie system (depending on the battery bank).  2 inverters can be stacked for 120/240v output.  Until the improved generator interface is developed, they are not recommended for off-grid use.

Outdoor Systems

The OBPS1 systems below are factory wired, pre-programmed and fully ETL listed as complete grid-tie battery back-up solutions.  Even the battery interconnecting cables and conduit are included to eliminate all guess work and difficult to find parts.  The PS1 includes a type 3R rainproof enclosure which provides flexibility in where you choose to install the system, allowing for installation in limited space or outdoors.

Indoor Systems

We also offer pre-wired and tested one or two inverter grid intertie systems for indoor installations (OBPS2).  Choose a 24 or 48 volt system and sealed or ventilated inverters.

Outback Inverters

The Outback inverter is a modular "building block" sine wave inverter/charger that can be used for both residential and commercial stand-alone and grid-connected applications with battery energy storage.  Inverters are available in sealed, fan-cooled or higher powered ventilated versions.  Each inverter/charger module is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch.  Additional inverter/chargers can be added at any time in either parallel (120VAC), series (120/240VAC), or even three-phase (120Y208VAC) configurations, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific needs of the application, both at the time of installation and into the future.  With the addition of an X-240 autotransformer, multiple inverter systems can be set up to provide 120/240 VAC split-phase output with the ability to provide full power on either 120VAC leg of the system.  Up to ten inverters can be connected together to provide up to 36 kW of continuous power capacity with the use of the HUB and the MATE controller.  The inverter's powerful battery charger operates in five stages:  BULK (constant current output), ABSORB (constant voltage output), FLOAT (reduced voltage output), SILENT (no charger output) and EQUALIZE (constant voltage regulation overcharging).  Charge time in each stage is adjustable to provide control and to maximize the performance of the charger and battery system.

Each Outback inverter has one programmable, auxiliary relay output connection (AUX).  The AUX terminal provides 12 VDC output to run 12V cooling or ventilation fans or operate an external relay to perform other functions, such as remote generator starting (two-wire), to disconnect external charging sources (such as PV), or to turn on a diversion load for voltage regulation.  The built-in transfer switch is rated for 60 amps.  When an external source of AC power (either a generator or the utility grid) is detected at the "AC In" terminal on the inverter, the switch operates to transfer the loads to the external power source, and then activates the battery charger to re-charge the battery bank.

Outback FX Sealed Inverters with Turbo Fan

The Outback FX-series is designed to survive harsh environments anywhere in the world.  Their unique sealed, gasketed die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool - without requiring outside air to be blown through the sensitive electronics.  This reduces the major causes of inverter failure - corrosion, dust, insect and animal damage.  They can be used in high ambient temperature application up to 60�C with reduced output ratings.

Outback MATE Remote Monitor and Control

The Outback MATE is a complete system controller and display for both the Outback inverter/charger and MX60 MPPT PV charge controller.  It provides a display of the operation as well as allows control and adjustment of the set points.  the Outback MATE also coordinates the operation of the entire system to maximize performance and to prevent multiple products from conflicting.  A single Outback MATE is able to connect to multiple inverter/chargers, MX60MPPT PV charge controllers and any other Outback power conversion and control products offered in the future.  A maximum of ten Outback products will be able to be connected to a single MATE via CAT 5 ethernet type cabling with 8 wire RJ45 modular connectors and the Outback HUB communication manager.  The Outback MATE also includes an opto-isolated RS232 port with a DB9 jack for connection to the serial port of the PC computer.

The new MATE-2 has a flush-mount black face for panel or in-wall mounting.  2-year warranty

Outback VFX Ventilated Inverters

The Outback VFX series is a ventilated version of the original sealed FX series modular inverter/charger that can be used for both small and large power systems.  By allowing cooler outside airflow through the internal electronics, more AC power is available and operation is extremely hot environments is improved compared to the sealed FX series.  The full screened vent openings are "bug-proof" and the die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool in very hot environments even when operated at high power for extended periods.  The VFX can be used in high ambient applications up to 60�C (with reduced output ratings).  Ventilated inverters are a better choice when generator powered battery charging is an important part of system battery charging.  The fan cooling allows far higher continuous battery charging current which results in shorter generator run time.

Outback FX Inverter Accessories

Use these accessories to mount the inverter to an Outback Power Center, to connect it to conduit or to stack multiple inverters.  A Hub is required to connect more than one inverter to the same load or to connect inverters, MATEs and MX charge controllers to allow programming and monitoring of the entire system by the MATE.  The remote temperature sensor is important for accurate battery charging, especially if the batteries get very warm or cold.  If used with a HUB, one temperature sensor can be shared by all inverters and MX charge controllers.
