PP600H AC PowerPack
Manual
AC/DC converter to power PS200/PS600/EP600
pump systems from a generator or utility power
for PS1200/PS1800: see end of manual
Application
The Problem
Some solar pumps may not provide sufficient flow under all
conditions, especially in unusually cloudy weather or when
sufficient storage cannot be provided.
The Solution
LORENTZ AC PowerPack allows the pump to be powered
by an AC generator or commercial utility power. The solar
array remains connected. If the sun comes out again, less
power is drawn from the AC source.
A common application is for a portable genset (gasoline
generator) to run a well pump. When the generator is
stopped (or runs out of fuel) the pump automatically re-
turns to solar power when the sunshine is sufficient. No
manual switching is required.
The PowerPack will power the pump to its full capacity.
With some systems, it will produce a greater flow rate than
you will see with solar power.

INSTRUCTIONS
Installation
WARNING This device is to be in-
stalled, connected and serviced by
qualified personnel only. Ensure all
power sources are disconnected when
making connections to this unit. Follow all appro-
priate electrical codes. There are no user-servicea-
ble parts inside.
Mounting
Mount the AC PowerPack close to the pump controller, in
a vertical position. Cover the unit from direct rainfall. You
will find four mounting brackets in a plastic bag inside the
enclosure.
WARNING PowerPack must be protect-
ed from solar heat, especially direct
mid-day sun. Mount it in the shade. If
there is no shady location, make a
shade from sheet metal. Allow free air circulation
around the cooling fins on the back of the enclo-
sure. For wall mounting, use spacers to stand it out,
so the cooling fins do not touch the wall.

WARNING Power Pack must be OFF
while it is being wired to the solar
pump controller, or controller damage
may result. Never connect it while it is
"hot".
Wire Sizes
All wires must be #14 AWG (2.5 mm 2
AC Input Voltage Selection
Selection must be made by connecting a wire from terminal
1 to either 2 or 3, as indicated on the terminal label. For
115 V AC, connect 1-2. For 230 V AC, connect 1-3.
Grounding
Bond the metal enclosure to the ground connections of
the AC power source and the solar power system. See your
pump's instruction manual.
AC Power Source
Install a 15 A circuit breaker at the power source or distri-
bution box.
