Generators

An AC generator can be used as an input source instead of the utility power, or can be
connected (using additional hardware) to power the loads when utility is not present
(utility outage), and to charge the batteries. The generator must be of the permanently
installed type and not a portable type unit used for emergency power (i.e. no cord-
connected generators are permitted). Small emergency type (lower power) generators
may not have a stable enough voltage for the inverter to synchronize to or provide
enough current to fully charge the batteries.
The maximum charge rate the battery charger can deliver is dependant upon the AC
voltage available. The charger's rated output is based on a utility voltage of 120 Vac
RMS for 120 Vac/60 Hz models and 230 Vac RMS for 230 Vac/50 Hz models.
Size the generator appropriately for the system, including battery charge and load
current.
Table 1-1 and Figure 1-3 demonstrates how the AC voltage available affects the charging
current.

WARNING: Shock hazard
Generators utilizing AC outputs with plug/receptacle configurations are not permitted for
connection to the AC input terminals of the Trace Series unit. Only the use of generators
that are permanently and directly connected to the Trace Series unit, without any type of
interconnecting devices, is permitted.
