Power System Management
As we pointed out at the beginning of this introduction, the PROsine 2.0
Inverter•Charger is designed to be the heart of your power system. In addition
to refined charging and inverting functions, the PROsine 2.0 is the control
center for managing your power system. As the interface between your
batteries, loads, and AC source, the PROsine 2.0:
❐
Takes 12Vdc and produces 120Vac to power your loads
❐
Takes 120Vac, when available and, via its intelligent, automatic, and fast
Transfer Relay, passes the 120Vac to your loads
❐
Uses its Power Share capability to tap off power to charge the batteries
while 120Vac is being passed to the loads
And finally, the PROsine 2.0 Inverter•Charger allows for the expansion of
your system to meet changing power requirements.
Load Management
The 2.0 Inverter•Charger has a built-in
Transfer Relay
that connects AC shorepower or inverter output to your loads. Because the
usual AC power sources (marina and campground outlets or small generators,
for example) often have limited current availability, having the ability to
manage your AC loads is extremely valuable, and therefore the 2.0 provides a
number of features to facilitate this:
❐
The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently as
possible and only requires 15 amps to provide rated charger output—
some other chargers require as much as 22 amps to provide the same
output. Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more
current for your loads.
❐
The PROsine 2.0 uses a Power Share feature which senses the AC load on
the system and gives priority to your AC loads, thereby reducing the
charger current to avoid nuisance tripping of the breaker.
❐
Sometimes the usual AC shorepower sources have low voltage. To avoid
loading these weak sources any further, the charger automatically reduces
its AC current draw as the AC voltage approaches the minimum
acceptable level (as set by the user).
Expandability
As your power needs grow, you can connect two PROsine
2.0 Inverter•Chargers in
series mode
to create a 120/240Vac split phase
system which is capable of supplying 4kW (continuously).
Both of these 2.0 Inverter•Chargers can be connected to operate from a single
(but larger) battery bank, and will work in tandem to provide the fastest
possible, accurate charge.
