9. If you need to remove a battery, always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark. 10. Always use identical types of batteries. 11. Never install old or untested batteries. Check each battery’s date code or label to ensure age and type. 12.
AC source and recharges the batteries. Accessories allow the TPH series to also serve as a central hub of a renewable energy system. Set the TPH Series inverter to battery priority mode, designates the inverter-preferred UPS configuration. In this configuration, the load power in normally provided by the inverter.

The peak efficiency of TPH-PV series is 88%. Overload Capacity The TPH series inverters have different overload capacities, making it ideal to handle demanding loads. 1 For 110%<Load<125%(± 10%), no audible alarm in 14 minutes, beeps 0.5s every 1s in the 15th minute, and Fault(Turn off) after the 15th minute.
2.5.2 AC Charger TPH Series is equipped with an active PFC (Power Factor Corrected) multistage battery charger. The PFC feature is used to control the amount of power used to charge the batteries in order to obtain a power factor as close as possible to 1.

The inverter will go to Over temp protection when heat sink temp. ≥105º C, and go to Fault (shutdown Output) after 30 seconds. The switch has to be reset to activate the inverter. The TPH series Inverter has back feeding protection which avoids presenting an AC voltage on the AC input terminal in Invert mode.

50Hz/60Hz). This will avoid frequent switches between battery and generator. But some sensitive loads will suffer from the low quality power. The pros and cons should be clearly realized. SW3: Power Saver Auto Setting : In Power Saver Mode, when the SW3 is switched to position“0”, inverter will work in Unit Off Charging mode, it will stay in standby mode without sensing loads.
The auto generator start feature will only work with generators designed to work with this feature. There is an open/closed relay that will short circuit the positive and negative cable from a generator. The input DC voltage can vary, but the Max current the relay can carry is 16Amp. Battery temperature sensor (BTS) A battery temperature sensor (BTS) option can easily be installed in the system to ensure proper charging of the batteries based on temperature.

It is suggested the battery bank be kept as close as possible to the inverter. The following able is a suggested wiring option for 1m DC cable. Please find the following minimum wire size. In case of DC cable longer than 1m, please increase the cross section of cable to reduce the loss.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage The inverter is not reverse polarity protected. Reversing the battery polarity on the DC input connections will cause permanent damage to the inverter which is not covered under warranty. Always check polarity before making connections to the inverter. WARNING: Shock Hazard Ensure the inverter is off before disconnecting the battery cables, and that AC power is disconnected from the inverter input.

TPH 3-18KW Wall mount 4 Battery Information 4-1 Battery Type There are two principal types of batteries: Starting type and Deep-Discharge type. Batteries can be either sealed or non-sealed(Vented). A. Starting type: Automotive(Starting type) batteries are designed to provide high starting current for short periods of time and are not appropriate for solar system.
4-2 Battery Capacity Rating 4.2.1 Battery Discharge Rate Deep cycle batteries have their amp-hour rating expressed as “at the x-hour rate”. The hour rating refers to the time it takes to discharge the batteries. A faster hour rate (10 hour rate) means more current is withdrawn from the batteries during their discharge period.
Motors typically require 3 to 6 times their running current when starting. Check the manufacturer’s data sheets for their starting current requirements. If you will be starting large motors from the inverter, increase the battery bank size to allow for the higher start-up current. 4.2.4 Battery Configurations The battery bank must be wired to match the inverter’s DC input voltage specifications (12 or 24 or 48Vdc).
Table 4.2.2 Battery Wiring In Parallel Configuration Table 4.2.3 Battery Wiring In Series-Parallel Configuration Important: Connecting the positive and negative wires to the inverter from different strings ensures a balanced charge/discharge through the batteries, resulting in longer run times and improved battery life. 4.2.6 Batteries Maintenance To get the best performance from an inverter system, the batteries must be properly setup and maintained.
Ensure the batteries are protected from extreme temperatures. 5 Troubleshooting Guide Troubleshooting contains information about how to troubleshoot possible error conditions while using the TPH Series Inverter & Charger. The following chart is designed to help you quickly pinpoint the most common inverter failures. Indicator and Buzzer Status Information From LED Indicator &...
