General information Intended use The Fronius Backup Controller is a fixed piece of equipment designed for use in public grids with TN-C-S/TN-S systems. Its main function is to automatically and securely disconnect all connected loads and generators from the public grid in the event of a grid failure or grid malfunction in accordance with the specifica- tions of the grid operator.
Fronius GEN24 inverter converts direct current into alternating current and charges the battery (battery charging is only possible with Fronius GEN24 Plus inverters). The integrated system monitoring enables the inverter to be integrated into a network by means of WLAN.
Loads in the system e. g. washing machine, lamps, TV, etc. Positioning The Fronius Backup Controller must be installed in the following position in the system.
