Warranty and Safety Conditions 3. Warranty and Safety Conditions WARNING: The electronics in the power supply system are designed for an indoor, clean environment. When installed in a dusty and/or corrosive environment, indoor, it is important to: • Install an appropriate filter on the enclosure door, or on the room’s air conditioning system. •...
Warranty and Safety Conditions 3.3 Installation • This product is intended to be installed only in restricted access areas as defined by local regulations and in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or equivalent agencies. • The Inverter System may contain output over current protection in the form of circuit breakers. 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 inverter 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 Bravo module is a triple port converter built with ECI technology. This module delivers pure sinusoidal output from AC mains or battery. The block diagram below gives an explicit description of the topology and 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 On-line Mode DC is the primary source of supply whilst Mains (AC) works as the secondary source. Switching time between DC input and AC input is 0 ms (source transfer). The power delivered by the DC source (usually a battery, but possibly any other type of DC generator) is converted to provide regulated and transient-free power to the load.
