Regulatory Specifications

The International Series GFX inverters are CE compliant for off-grid use.

Grid-Interactive Use

Inverters intended for grid-interactive use must comply with established standards which provide
regulation for acceptable output voltage ranges, acceptable output frequency, total harmonic
distortion (THD) and anti-islanding performance when the inverter is exporting power to a
utility source.
The OutBack grid-interactive models are validated through compliance testing. The following
specifications refer to exporting power to a simulated utility source of less than 1% voltage total
harmonic distortion (THD).
 The THD of the root mean square (RMS) current is less than 5%.
 The output of the GFX inverter exceeds the minimum power factor of 0.85 with a typical power factor of
0.96 or better.
 All International Series GFX inverters are tested to comply with Table 16.

The acceptance ranges are selected using the system display. The options are IEEE and USER. The
default setting is USER.
 The IEEE option allows a range of 206 – 250 Vac at 49 – 51 Hz.
 The USER option is not a fixed setting. It follows the ac1/grid lower limit and ac1/grid upper limit settings
as shown on the tables beginning on page 43. The default is a range of 208 – 252 Vac at 48 – 52 Hz.
Reconnection delay is 12 seconds after restoration of acceptable conditions. Sell delay is one minute.
These settings are not adjustable.
