The UX inverter can be used to support off-grid, stand-alone systems where no
utility power is available. Using the UX inverter in an off-grid application
include:
• renewable energy systems (without the SB Option on the inverter),
• renewable energy systems with generator backup (with the SB Option on the
inverter), and
• generator-only systems (with and without the SB Option on the inverter).
In this configuration, the main power is generated by renewable energy sources,
such as solar, wind, or hydro-generators and is stored directly in a battery-bank.
The UX inverter will invert the DC power stored in the battery-bank into AC
power to operate the AC loads. The SB Option is not required for this
application.
See Figure 2-1 for an illustration of a renewable energy application without
the SB Option installed on the UX Inverter.
This illustration includes the optional accessories such as remote monitoring
options and a variety of renewable energy sources. Disregard any part of this
illustration that does not apply to the system configuration being installed.
