In addition to these circuit breakers, the user must observe the recommended upstream and downstream circuit breaker requirements as defined in this manual.
Warranty and Safety Conditions 3.3.2 Surge and Transients The mains (AC) supply of the modular converter system shall be fitted with Lightning surge suppression and Transient voltage surge suppression suitable for the application at hand. Manufacturer’s recommendations of installation shall be adhered to.
ECI Technology 4. ECI Technology A Sierra module is a triple port converter built with ECI technology. This module delivers pure sinusoidal output and ripple free DC output from AC mains or battery. The below block diagram gives an explicit description of the topology and its operation. ECI technology has AC to DC, DC to AC, and DC to DC converters to provide constant and disturbance-free output power regardless of the input source.
ECI Technology 4.1 AC-AC mode In AC-AC mode, the AC Mains is the primary source and DC source works as a backup. When AC mains is present, the Sierra module takes energy from the AC source and feed to: • AC Load via a double conversation to provide a pure sine wave. •...
