  • Page 18: General Description

    The PowerRouter - intended use The PowerRouter is a DC to AC solar inverter, designed for indoor use. It is designed for use with solar panels and connection to the grid. In case of a grid failure, the AC local out may supply backup power to the connected load.

  • Page 19: 3-Phase Sensor (Accessory Pra3Sense)

    If the public grid fails, the external relay is energised. The switch over to the local AC grid is done via one of the user-selectable relays (K201 / K202) of the PowerRouter. The backup capacity is limited, it depends on the amount of energy produced by the solar panels.
