  • Page 10: Introduction

    Introduction 1.0 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Mini Magnum Panel (MMP) enclosure, part of a new line of panel systems from Magnum Energy. Installing an inverter system is now as simple as mounting the MMP enclosure, installing the inverter, connecting the battery bank, and if needed, bringing in AC power from a generator or the utility.

  • Page 11: Mmp Series Overview

    The MMP enclosure is available in four basic confi gurations. This section lists the four models and the enclosure’s main components and features. Individual Models: • MMP175-30D (Mini Magnum Panel, 175 ADC breaker, dual 30 AAC bypass/input breakers) • MMP175-60S (Mini Magnum Panel, 175 ADC breaker, single 60 AAC bypass/input breakers) •...
