Basic Features
Congratulations on your purchase of a XW Series Inverter/Charger from Xantrex
Technology Inc. The XW Inverter/Charger is one of the finest inverter/chargers on
the market today, incorporating state-of-the-art technology, high reliability, and
convenient control features.
Additional XW Inverter/Charger features include:
•
Building block power levels—units can be installed in parallel configuration
to produce up to 18 kilowatts
•
High efficiency true sine wave output
•
Split phase output on 120/240 60 Hz models to simplify system configuration
by eliminating the need for an autotransformer or stacking multiple inverters
•
Surge capacity to start difficult loads like well pumps, refrigerator or A/C
compressors
•
Power factor-corrected (PFC) input minimizes AC power required for
charging, effectively increasing AC pass-through capacity
•
High output, multi-stage charging to minimize charging time
•
Easy to configure and install systems at a competitive dollar-per-watt cost
•
Optional XW Automatic Generator Start allows operation with a wide range
of generators, supported through a dedicated generator input
•
Supports multi-mode grid-tie operation
•
Integrated transfer switch
•
Temperature-controlled, variable-speed internal cooling fan. The fan turns on
when the internal temperature reaches 45 °C and reaches maximum speed at
70 °C. The fan turns off when the internal temperature falls to 40 °C.
•
Housing design promotes vertical air flow through the inverter. This natural
“chimney effect” helps provide convection cooling at lower power levels, and
reduces fan run time.
•
Designed for reliability and field serviceability.
System component
The XW Inverter/Charger uses Xanbus™, a network communications protocol
developed by Xantrex, to communicate its settings and activity to other Xanbus-
enabled devices. You can configure and monitor the XW Inverter/Charger and
every Xanbus-enabled device in the system using an XW System Control Panel
(part number 865-1050).
