OutBack Inverter FX3048 3000 Watt 48 Volt 120 VAC/60 Hz Sealed Off Grid Turbo InverterThe TURBO Model has a modified DC Cover with a ventilation fan built in for better performance.The OutBack FX3048 is a 3 kW continuous rated modular "building block" sine wave inverter/charger which can be used for both small and large power systems. Each OutBack inverter/charger module is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch. Additional inverter/chargers can be connected at any time in parallel (120 VAC), series (120/240 VAC), or even three-phase (120Y208 VAC) configurations, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific power conversion requirements of the application, both at the time of the installation and in the future. The OutBack inverter is designed to survive harsh environments anywhere in the world. Our 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. The FX3048 can be used in high ambient applications up to 60 degree C with reduced output ratings. The OutBack inverter/charger system is designed for both residential and commercial stand-alone and utility-interactive applications with battery energy storage. It is designed to operate as a coordinated system with the other OutBack products (i.e. the PSDC, PSAC and PSR enclosures as well as the MX60 MPPT charge controllers and MATE system controller and display). Features Powder-coated all aluminum die-cast chassis Internal electronic components are cooled by heat transfer Gaskets on all openings to provide water resistance Sealed design protects internal electronics from salt, dirt, or contaminated air, bugs, critters, mold, etc. Conformal coated circuit boards to resist corrosion Designed to allow easy field servicing and repair Applications Hot and humid climates where a protected area is not available for installation of the inverter/charger system Salt air environments such as Hawaii where you can't get away from the salt air and where there is little difference between indoors nad outdoors Dirty environments where dust or drifting organic matter such as cottonwood could clog air openings in an unattended system Boats and RV's where water might splash on the inverter Greater control of unwanted radio frequency interference Specifications Continuous Output Power: 2800 VA Continuous Output Current at 25 degrees: 23 amps AC RMS Idle Power (120 VAC Output No Load): 21-23 W DC Output Voltage: 120 VAC/60 Hz DC Input Voltage (Nominal): 48 VDC Peak Efficiency: 93% Output Voltage Regulation: +/-2% typical Continuous DC Charge Rate: 35 amps DC Frequency Range: 50-70 Hz DC Input Voltage Range: 40-66 VDC Warranty: 2 years (optional 5 year extended warranty)
