Page 8: Positioning Of Powerback And Battery System
PowerBack PB5000 is able to supply the majority of mains operated domestic and office appliances, including small motors, lights, fans, refrigerators and air conditioners up to a maximum total demand of 5kVa. Note: In extreme circumstances where the utility supply remains off and the battery back up has expired, appliances such as fridges and air conditioners require approximately 3 minutes restart delay (time is required to balance the refrigerant gas) before utility mains is reinstated . -
Page 9: Dc Disconnect And Over-Current Protection
DC Disconnect and over-Current Protection regulations state that battery over-current protection and/or disconnect devices are required. Fuses and disconnects must be correctly sized to protect the Dc cable in use, and must be rated for Dc operation. Do not use devices rated only for ac service – they will not function properly. Note that some installation requirements may not require a disconnect device, although over-current protection is still mandatory. -
Page 10: Ac Cable Size
Installation must only be carried out by a competent person who has sufficient electrical training and is familiar with safe practices when working on or near electrical systems. WARnInG: shock Hazard. take appropriate safety measure when dealing with a battery terminal voltage exceeding 40Vdc. WARnInG: short circuit hazard. take special care not to short any battery terminal, shorting of battery terminals will produce large currents and subsequent discharge of molten metals. -
Page 11: Ac Connections
AC Connections Installation should be done by a qualified electrician. consult local regulations for the correct wire REV. ECN NO. sizes, fusing, connectors and conduit requirements. the cable length should be kept to a minimum to prevent excess voltage drop. the PowerBack is intended for permanent connection (non-pluggable) only. a readily accessible 82.9 disconnect device (all poles seperation of at least 3mm) shall be incorporated external to this equipment. -
Page 12: Ac Isolation And Overcurrent Protection
DB is recommended. sollatek advise using an automatic voltage switcher AVs30 with basic spike and surge protection. For areas subject to lightning related damage, Sollatek recommends using advanced protection (class II)device such as DsP1P 20KA Mains spike and surge protection. Both devices are obtainable from any Sollatek distributor. -
