  • Page 6: Hypr 3000 Capabilities And Controls

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual HyPR 3000 Capabilities and Controls The HyPR features specific capabilities for the system in which it is employed and, while many of the circuits in the HyPR are fully automatic, outside user-established limits, not every HyPR feature may be used in every application.
  • Page 7: Theory Of Operation

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Theory of Operation The HyPR 3000 coordinates the support of AC and DC loads using power supplied from AC and/ or DC sources. Both AC and DC power sources energize the HyPR 3000 internal DC circuitry (DC bus), or the “Inter-Connect”...
  • Page 8: General Information

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual General Information Circuit breakers on faceplate are only for IN/OUT circuit limit protections. They are NOT “function controls” or “function protections”. The internal DC Bus is limited to 100 A total current flow. This may restrict some HyPR functionality in certain operating modes.
  • Page 9: Dc Functions

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual DC Functions The DC bus is effectively the nervous system of the HyPR. All HyPR functions are regulated directly or indirectly by the DC bus voltage. The DC bus voltage is functionally equivalent to the System battery voltage.

    • Generator stop set point = 29.0 VDC The generator start and stop voltage set points are programmable via a TECH PORT on the Faceplate. Contact Solar Stik Technical Support for assistance if reprogramming is required. April 2021 Solar Stik , Inc.
  • Page 11: Load Prioritization

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Load Prioritization In every operation mode, the HyPR will prioritize power to the load. It executes functions based on real-time operating conditions, which include: • total power available at the INPUTS • total power needed at the OUTPUTS •...
  • Page 12: Modes Of Operation

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Modes of Operation There are several operational modes in which the HyPR may be configured, depending on the application, Hybrid Mode–The hybrid mode allows the use of a smaller generator based on average, continuous total loads over a 24-hour period, versus a larger generator that will support “peak”...

    ESMs and/or to support small 120 VAC or 24 VDC loads. It is not necessary for a Solar Stik ESM to be connected to the HPS to take advantage of the Scavenging circuit. If ESM’s are not connected, however, the HyPR can only support loads up to the amount of power provided through the Scavenging circuit (Figure 1).
  • Page 14: Figure 6. Using Hypr In Inverter Mode

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Inverter Mode – The HyPR 3000 may be used in inverter mode when no AC power generation sources are available. This allows the combined total input of DC sources (including ESMs) to be dedicated to AC loads.
  • Page 15: Selecting An Ac Power Source

    AC load should not exceed the maximum continuous output of the AC power generator (i.e., maximum load AC power requirement ≤ generator AC power output). Moreover, to use the HyPR in hybrid mode, a fuel-powered generator must be compatible with Solar Stik auto generator start/stop capabilities.
  • Page 16: Battery Current Requirements For Hypr Ac Output

    24VDC HyPR 3000 Operator and Maintenance Manual Battery Current Requirements for HyPR AC Output A bank of batteries with the capacity to provide > 84 amps of current is required for the HyPR (inverter) to operate at its full rated capacity (2000 W). Battery banks with smaller current capacity are sufficient to power up the HyPR and support loads (AC and DC) that do not exceed the current capacity of the connected batteries.
  • Page 17: How To Minimize Derating

    • Do not overload the HyPR. Manage power processing demand by paying close attention to what is “plugged in. Prioritize critical loads. • Shade the HyPR 3000 to reduce solar loading. Solar Stik data indicate that solar loading of a Pelican case can increase internal heat by ~40 ºF (~ 22 ºC) above ambient.
