via a remote control panel. The remote control panel
includes 5 meter remote cable. 10 or 15 m cable can be
ordered as option with the Belt Power.

Application

The Belt Power generator is a very good solution for
vehicles and small boats that require AC power and does
not have enough space for a diesel generator. As the
inverter works independently
installation is not as heavy as a battery based inverter
system and is more efficient, because a fully battery based
inverter system would have a battery efficiency loss of at
least 20% and other losses for transforming the low DC to
high AC. Especially when high power is needed from 2
kW up to 5kW the Belt Power is superior.
For some applications where power is needed while the
vehicle engine cannot run or when the engine runs at a too
low speed (RPM) a combination with a battery based
inverter/charger (COMBI) system is recommended.
While the engine is not running the battery based inverter
can take care of supply and when running again the belt
driven generator can charge the batteries via the charger.
One hast to take care that both inverters can work in

from a battery, the
parallel! Many of the latest generation combi's can run in
parallel! The Power Belt inverter and combi could also
work together to provide extra power for short periods or
handle inrush currents for motor starting (starting up air
conditioners or compressors). The combination of both
systems does require a smaller battery than when
applying only a low DC inverter.
