Inverter

The inverter consists of two sine wave inverters built into one unit. A “ low power“ high efficiency 70 watt inverter supplies power for the small loads. The “high power” 4,500 watt main inverter supplies power when AC loads over 70 watts are applied. Designed for maximum efficiency this system conserves battery power when only small loads are present. T o further conserve battery power the Load Demand feature allows the inverter to ‘go to sleep’ if AC loads fall below a selected value. Load Demand may be disabled if very small AC loads must be operated. The inverter develops up to 4,500 watts of continuous power. Using TruSine quality pure sine wave is produced. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is less than 2.0 percent.

Battery Charger with Automatic Power Management

A high efficiency 100 amp multi-stage battery charger allows fully automatic charging of f looded and gel lead acid battery banks. The efficient 0.85PF , compared to typical 0.59PF on triac type chargers, allows full charger output from a 30 amp aux AC source. The system ’s Bulk - Absorption - Float charge cycle quickly charges and maintains the charge on the battery bank. An Equalization charge cycle is provided for flooded lead acid battery maintenance. Automatic Power Management (APM) monitors the Aux AC Input amps and will reduce the battery charger output as needed to keep the Aux AC Input amps below the preset APM Limit.

•

Automatic AC Power Transfer Switch with Solar Mode

An automatic AC transfer switch pr ovides system output power s ourced f rom the Aux AC Input (generator or utility) or sourced from the battery, via the inverter. Solar Mode allows the inverter to oper ate on battery power while shore power is present.

•

Gen Start

The Gen Start feature provides a s tart/stop s ignal to control a generator used f or r echarging the batter ies. The start/stop signal consis ts of a c ontac t c losure to s tar t the generator bas ed on battery voltage and s top the generator based on battery charging amps.

•

System Control

The TruSine contains a System ON/OFF Switch to turn the system ON and OFF. A control microprocessor provides a variety of protection interlocks, system fault detection/reporting/recovery, storage of system data param eters, and high speed data comm unications to the optional T SR-2 Remote Control Panel. System protection functions include over load, over temperature, and high and low battery voltage. Use the ON/OFF Switch to reset the system after shutdown for a s ystem fault. T he optional T SR2 Remote Control Panel provides a system status display and allows detailed control of individual system functions.

•

TSR-2 TruSine Remote Control Panel (Optional)

The optional TSR-2 Remote Control Panel / Programming Panel is an operator interface which connects to the TruSine Inverter/Charger via a 6conductor data bus and allows system operation near the inverter or from remote areas. Multiple TSR-2 Remotes may be connected for optimum flexibility. The TSR-2 contains an alphanumeric LCD display and functional keypad making it easy to use. System status m essages are displayed, faults are reported, system functions m ay be enabled/disabled or turned ON/OFF, system setpoints may be examined and changed.

Figure 2: TSR-1 and TSR-2 Control Panels

Earlier production TSR Remotes, the TSR-1, are identical to the TSR-2 exc ept contain early software used with TruSine inverter/charger model TSC24-4000D.

Description of Operation

2 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

2.1 Inverter

The System ON/OFF Switch, located on the f ront panel, allows the us er to turn the s ystem ON and OF F and to reset the system after a fault. The inverter will always begin operation in the large inverter “high power” mode. If the AC load is less than 70 watts the inverter will automatically switch to the “low power” high efficiency small inverter after 5 seconds. T he optional TSR-2 Remote Control Panel allows the inverter to be dis abled (turned OFF) while allowing the other system functions (charger, transfer switch) to continue to operate.

The Inverter AC Output Circuit Break er is a 2 pole, 20 amp breaker marked “O/I” located below the System ON/OFF Switch. The breaker protects the Inverter AC output and Battery Charger AC input against a severe overload. This breaker does not protect AC Passthrough Power. If the break er trips during inverter operation, the system must be reset. Do this by turning the System ON/OFF Switch OFF and bac k ON. Do not use the AC Output Circuit Breaker as an ON/OFF switch.

Protective Interlocks

Auto-restart After shutting down for any of the following fault conditions the inverter will try to restart

itself every 5 minutes. The inverter will restart if the fault condition is no longer present.

Manual restart Manually restart the system by resetting the inverter after the fault conditions is removed.

Reset the inverter by turning the System ON/OFF Switch OFF and then ON.

Low Battery The inverter continually monitors battery voltage. If battery voltage falls below the Low

Battery Shutdown setpoint the inverter will shut OFF. Auto-restart will restart the inverter

after battery voltage rises above the Low Battery Warning setpoint. High Battery The inverter will shut OFF if battery voltage rises above the High Battery setpoint. Over Temperature The inverter will shut OFF if internal temperature sensors detect a high temperature

condition that would damage the inverter.

While operating in Solar Mode a high temp shutdown will transfer back to shore power until

the over-temperature condition clears. Over Load - If a short circuit or an overload is applied to the inverter’s output the inverter will shut down. Additional details regarding protective interlocks are found in the Alarm Menu in section 3.

Load Demand

The TruSine Inverter’s Load Demand Mode is an energy-saving feature. Load Demand allows the inverter to go to sleep when the AC load is below the ‘Enter Load Demand’ (watts) setpoint f or 5 seconds. While in Load Demand (asleep) the inverter produc es only pulses of AC which are used to searc h for an AC load. When the inverter senses an AC load greater than the ‘Exit Load Dem and’ (watts) s etpoint, the inverter will turn fully ON. The Load Demand feature significantly reduces the DC amps drawn from the battery while the AC load is below the Load Demand enter and exit setpoints.

The inverter will not enter Load Demand from the High Power mode. T he inverter will only enter Load Demand from the 70 watt small inverter Low Power mode.

The ‘Enter Load Demand’ and ‘Exit Load Demand’ setpoint values may be adjusted to suit the AC loads by using the optional TSR-2 Remote Control. T he Load Demand feature may be turned OFF by selecting Load Demand enabled/DISABLED. This is recomm ended if very small AC loads under 5 watts, such as clocks or LCD displays, must be operated.

2.2 Battery Charger

The battery charger’s advanced design incorporates an automatic, multi-stage charger. This design enables

TruSine 4.5 kW Inverter Page 7 Owner’s Manual

Descriptions of Operation

the unit to automatically charge batteries which maintains the battery’s integrity and reduces the likelihood of premature battery failure. The battery charger is des igned to be used with lead-acid type batteries inc luding sealed and gel types, but not for nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) or nickel-iron types.

Battery Charging Sequence

Stage 1: Bulk Charge Stage The charger always starts in the Bulk Charge Stage each time shore power becomes present and/or each time the charger is turned ON. In Bulk Charge the system charges at the ‘Bulk Charge Amps’ setpoint until battery voltage rises to the ‘Bulk Charge Voltage’ setpoint. Then the voltage is held at that setpoint until charging amps have fallen to 5 amps above the ‘Battery Absorption Amps’ setpoint. This ends the Bulk Charge Stage and begins the Absorption Charge Stage. The charger will not enter the Bulk Stage again until shore power is reapplied, or until the charger or the system is turned ON again.

Stage 2: Absorption Charge Stage The Absorption Charge Stage provides a contr olled “overcharging” of the battery which is necess ary to bring the battery up to full charge. The batter y is charged at the ‘Absor ption Charge Amps’ until one of following three conditions occur which signals the end of the Absorption Stage;

VOLTAGE

CURRENT

TIME

BULK ABSORPTION

TRIGGER POINT

OPTIONAL EQUALIZE

FLOAT

Time: The Absorption Maximum Time setpoint is reached Time: The Absorption Charge Stage has reached ½ of the duration of the Bulk Charge Stage. Voltage: Battery voltage reaches the ‘Absorption Voltage’ setpoint

Stage 2A Equalize Charge Cycle When Equalize Mode is ENABLED, one Equalize Charge Cycle will follow the Absor ption Charge Stage. The Equalize Cycle will last for the ‘Equalize Time’ setpoint. Equalize Mode will automatically switch to DISABLED at the end of the Equalize Charge Cycle. During the Equalize Cycle the battery is charged at the ‘Absorption Charge Amps’ setpoint and the Equalize Voltage setpoint.

The Equalize Charge Cycle provides a deliberate overcharging of the battery to remove sulfate which accumulates on the battery plates through norm al use. Equalizing returns battery cells to equal perform ance levels which improves battery performance and extends battery life. Consult the battery manufactur er for their recommendation regarding equalize voltages how often the Equalize Cycle should be performed.

CAUTION Do not equalize sealed (valve regulated lead acid or gel) batteries!

Consult battery manufacturer for equalizing guidelines. Do not equalize more often than approximately once a month. Check battery fluids after equalizing is complete, as gassing will occur. Use Equalize Mode only while batteries are well ventilated!

Stage 3: Float Charge Stage - Maintenance Mode In the Float Stage the charging voltage is reduced to the ‘Float Charge Voltage’ setpoint and char ging cur r ent is limited to the ‘Absorption Charge Amps’ setpoint. The charger will remain in the Float Stage until shore power is reapplied, or until the charger or system is turned OFF and then ON again.

Charging Setpoints

The TruSine’s battery charger fac tory setpoints are for wet batteries. Do not use the f actory setpoints for gel batteries. If gel batteries are used, consult the batter y manufacturer for charging recomm endations. Setpoints for typical gel batteries are listed and may be used if specif ic recomm endations are not available from the gel battery manufacturer.

Caution: Do not operate DC loads, such as DC lights, pum ps, etc., during battery charging. The loads may cause overcharging by preventing the charging stages from reaching their ‘trigger points’ or may cause the battery to run down even though the charger is ON.

Automatic Power Management (APM)

A key feature of the battery charger operation is Automatic Power Management (APM). T his feature m onitors the Aux AC input amps and will reduce the battery charger output as necessary to keep the Aux AC input amps under the APM setpoint. The APM circuit will not limit power to the passthrough AC loads. If the passthrough AC loads exceed the APM setpoint the battery charger output will be reduced to zero.

Adjust the “APM Limit” setpoint to match the circuit breaker at the Aux AC source. This will reduce the chance of tripping the source’s circuit breaker due to battery charging.

On model TSC24-4500D (240VAC) the APM feature m onitors L1 and L2. APM decisions are based on the heavier loaded line.

Example: With the APM Limit on a TSR24-4500D set at 15 amps, L1 loaded to 15 amps and L2 has no load, then the APM will allow no power to go to charging. If the load on L1 is reduced to 10 am ps then the charger will be allowed to use 5 amps.

2.3 Automatic Transfer Switch with Solar Mode

The Automatic T ransfer Switch consists of electro-mechanical relays contr olled by circuits which m onitor Aux AC input voltage, Aux AC Input frequency and battery voltage.

In the normal mode of operation, Solar Mode OFF , the Automatic Tr ansfer Switch will autom atically accept ‘intolerance’ Aux AC input power whenever it is available within tolerance for the ‘AC Line Stabilization’ time delay. The Aux AC input power will be used to operate the battery charger and to passthrough to operate AC loads. Upon loss of ‘in-tolerance’ Aux AC input power, the transf er s witch will autom atic ally transfer the AC loads bac k to inverter power. Transfer tim e is approxim ately 40 milliseconds (0.040 seconds). T he 0.040 second transfer time allows all but the most sensitive loads to transfer from inverter power to shore power and back without interruption.

The Transfer Switch will function properly as long as the System O N/OFF s witch is ON even while the Inverter is disabled, while the Battery Charger is disabled or while the batteries are disconnected from the system.

The Transfer Switch switches both hot and neutral. For safety purposes the inverter output neutral is c onnec ted to the inverter chassis ground only when the system is in inverter mode. This is a requirement of the National Electric Code for all systems of this type that neutral should be connected to gr ound only at the source of AC power, which is the inverter when in inverter mode. When Aux AC input (shore power, or generator) is available, the Transfer Switch system breaks the connection between neutral and inverter chas sis ground. T he neutral-to-ground connection for passthrough power is then expected to be provided by the Aux AC input source. This transfer schem e presents no problems for a proper ly installed system. The installer should verify that all AC circuits connected to the inverter AC output are an ins ulated neutr al type as r equired by the National Electrical Code (NEC) article 551.

Solar Mode

Turn Solar Mode ON in applications where it is preferred to oper ate on battery power while ‘in tolerance’ Aux AC input (shore power) is avaliable. With Solar Mode ON, the inverter will operate on battery power while Aux AC input is available until battery voltage falls below the Low Battery Warning setpoint. Then the s ystem will

TruSine 4.5 kW Inverter Page 9 Owner’s Manual

Descriptions of Operation

accept Aux AC input, the batteries will be Bulk charged and the system will switch to inverter again.

2.4 Gen Start

The Gen Start feature is designed for use in installations having a generator to provide Aux AC input power for battery charging. The Gen Start feature provides a contac t closure to signal the generator to start when battery voltage falls below the ‘Gen Start Volts’ setpoint. The Gen Star t contacts open when bulk charging am ps fall below the ‘Gen Stop Amps’ setpoint. Bulk charging amps are sampled every 4 minutes, therefore the minumum generator ON time is 4 minutes. The contacts are NEC Class 2, rated 2 amps at 12 or 24 VDC.

Gen Stop Amps should be set higher than the Absorption Charge Amps setpoint. Caution: The battery charging process will be affected if 24VDC loads are being powered during battery

charging. The increased char ger output, required to power those loads, may keep the charger from reaching the ‘Gen Stop Amps’ setpoint.

3 TSR-2 Remote Control Panel (optional)

3.1 General Description

The TSR-2 TruSine Remote Control Panel is an optional display/keypad module that allows the installer to adjust the system operation factory setpoints and allows the user to monitor and control in detail the TruSine Inverter/Charger operation. The TSR-2 connects to the inverter at the V-NET Port. One or more contr ol panels may be installed to provide the necessary level of system control and flexibility. The TruSine Inverter/Charger System setpoints will not change after removal of the TSR-2 Remote.

TSR-2 Control Panel

The TSR-2 TruSine Remote Control Panel contains a 32 character (two 16 character lines) liquid crystal display (LCD), a red Alarm LED indicator, and a f unctional keypad. A menu schem e is used to allow the operator to select and control system functions, and to display information. In the event of a system fault the Alarm LED will illuminate and a fault mes sage will be displayed. The T SR- 2 Remote connects to the invert er’s V- Net Port via a 6 conductor modular data communic ation cable. The unit is supplied with a 25’ long cable with a 6-pin RJ-11 connector at each end.

Early production TSR-1 Remotes, used with earlier model Vanner inverter/chargers, are identical to the TSR-2 but will need the software upgraded to A88769-A to access the GenStar t and other new features in the TruSine 4500 Inverter/Charger. TSR-2 software is identified in the General Information Menu step 52. TSR-1 software is identified in System Information step 53 for theTSC24-4000D.

5.1 Basic Guidelines

The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code ( NEC) and any other state or local codes in effect at the time of ins tallation. These codes have been written f or your protection and their requirements should be followed.

Mounting Locate a secure, dry, flat horizontal or vertical surfac e large enough to m ount the invert er. T he location should be as close to the battery as possible without being in the same com partment and should provide adequate ventilation to maintain room tem perature while the inverter is operating. The location must allow unobstructed cooling air flow at sides and bottom of the unit, and the loc ation must be free from road spray, dripping water or other moisture contamination. A recommended minimum clearance of 4 inches (102 mm) should be maintained on all sides of the unit.

WARNING:

compartments, or other areas hazardous locations requiring ignition protection.

NOTE

The wiring of your inverter installation should conform to the National Electric Code ( NEC) and any other state or local codes in effect at the time of installation. Article 551 of the NEC requires any DC cable from a batter y, which measures longer than 18 inches along its length, be protec ted by a fuse. Other codes m ay require each ungrounded output conductor from a storage battery, other than to the engine cranking motor, to have a manually reset trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery as measured along the conductor.

2. The DC cables should be as short as possible. It is electrically mor e efficient to run the lower current AC wiring longer distances than the DC cables. (See DC Cable Sizing Chart for proper size.)

3. Route the DC positive and negative cables as c lose together as possible, and use cable ties to keep them together. This reduces some electromagnetic radiation that could interfere with some sensitive electronics.

3. On vehicle installations do not use the vehicle chassis as the DC negative conductor. Use a cable the same size as the DC positive to go directly from the inverter to the battery negative.

4. Route the AC and DC power wiring separately, and with as much physical separation as poss ible, from low voltage wiring such as audio and video signal wires.

6 GENERAL INFORMATION SECTION

6.1 Generic Inverter Description

In general, an inverter converts DC electrical power into AC power. T h is power c an be us ed to operate var ious AC-driven appliances. Typical DC power sources include batteries that store electrical energy, power generated from a vehicle alternator or renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (solar) panels.

The most com mon battery systems are 12 or 24 volt. Some systems, however, operate on higher voltages such as 32, 36, 48, or 120 volts. The most comm on inver ter AC output power is 120 volts at a fr equency of 60 Hz. Some inverters, however, are designed to produce 240 volts, or both 120 and 240 volts at 60 Hz. Because some countries use power of dif ferent voltage and frequency (e.g., 230 volts at 50 Hz), inverters ar e available to conform to these requirements.

The three available inverter types are distinguished by the type of AC output wave form they produce. This wave form affects the AC loads they operate. This section provides an overview of these inverter types, including the advantages and disadvantages associated with using each type.

Sine Wave Inverter

Sine wave inverters produce an AC output wave form like power pr oduced by the electric utility com panies and rotating generators. The sine wave inverter’s wave form is characterized by the highest peak voltage and smooth voltage transitions (no square wave components). Such inverters are the most costly of the three inverter types because they contain additional electronics to produce the required wave form. A measure of the sine wave quality is Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and is expressed in a perc entage. The lower the THD the higher the quality of the sine wave power.

Modified Sine Wave Inverter

Modified sine wave inverters are sometimes called “quasi sine wave inverters” or “modified square wave inverters.” Modified sine wave inverters gener ally cost more than square wave inverter s because they contain additional electronic circuitry to produce true RMS regulated AC output. Modified sine wave inverters have higher AC peak voltages than square wave inverters, and automatic ally control the width of the AC output wave form to regulate the output voltage (pulse- width modulation). The shape of the modified sine wave invert er’s wave form includes a square wave com ponent. It is stepped in such a way, however, to c losely approximate the true sine wave produced by the electric utility companies. Although this wave form has a higher peak voltage than do square wave inverters, its peak voltage is not as high as a pure sine wave. Therefore, AC loads containing power supplies might not always operate properly on the modified sine wave inverter.

Square Wave Inverter

The square wave inverter is a low cost device that produces a pure square wave AC power output. This AC power can be an accurate 60 Hz frequency if it is crystal controlled. It does not have the necessary peak voltage to properly operate many AC appliances that contain electronic power supplies (e.g., com puters, TVs , and VCRs). The square wave is appropriate when operating AC loads such as resistive heating devices.

6.2 Inverter Sizing

Output Power Rating - Power output is an important consideration when purchasing an inverter. Power is defined as the rate that a device produces (or uses) electrical energy. This rate is measured in watts or kilowatts (one kilowatt equals 1,000 watts), or sometimes in voltamps. Voltamps are roughly equal to watts and

are obtained by multiplying volts times amps produced or used by a device To properly determine an inverter size (in watts) for your application decide which AC loads you plan to operate.

Inverter size is the sum of the wattages of the AC loads that you wish to run at the s ame time, plus a safety factor, say 10 to 20 percent.

Continuous Output Power - Continuous power is defined as the AC power in watts (or voltamps) an inverter can produce on a continuous basis. The ambient temperature can affect the continuous rating of the inverter, and is normally specified, e.g., 25° C. or 40°C.

Surge Output Power - Inverter power can also be rated in terms of surge power. Surge power is the shor t ter m duration of AC power that the inverter can produce. It is often specified as the watts (or voltam ps) that can operate a resistive load for two or three sec onds. Som etim es this is s pecif ied in AC am ps because the inver ter may allow output voltage to drop (which would reduce is wattage). Like continuous power, the surge rating is affected by ambient temperature.

Note - Regardless of an inverter’s power r atings, an inverter’s AC output capability is only as s trong as the DC source. To achieve optim um perfor mance an inverter m ust be installed with properly sized cable and have an ample DC supply. Recommended cable sizes are listed in the DC Cable and Fuse Chart. The following sections in this manual will cover the basic information required to properly size the inverter battery and the vehicle alternator. Keep in mind that if information in this manual directly conflicts with instructions from a specific battery or other equipment manufacturer, Vanner recommends that those manufacturer's recommendations be followed.

6.3 DC Power Consumption

An inverter takes in DC power, and produces AC power to operate AC loads . In general, we can see a direct relationship between DC input power and AC output power. This allows us to establish the f ollowing rule of thumb:

For 12 volt DC inverters: Output Watts ÷ 10 = DC Input Amps. For 24 volt DC inverters: Output Watts ÷ 20 = DC Input Amps.

This rule of thum b can be used to estimate the minim um alternator size required for your application. It may also be used in calculating the minimum size battery required when operating from an alternator and battery combination; a photovoltaic panel and battery combination; or when operating f rom battery alone. The following examples should help to clarify the use of this rule of thumb.

Example A

What is the DC current draw of a 12 volt DC input inverter when it is operating a vacuum cleaner with a name plate rating of 6 amps at 120 volts AC?

The appliance rating is given in amperes , so we must f irst calculate the power it consum es. T hen the rule of thumb can be used to find the DC input current of the inverter.

Output power = 120 volts x 6 amps = 720 watts, and DC input current = 720 ÷ 10 = 72 amps DC.

Example B

What is the DC current draw of a 24 volt DC input inverter when it is operating a toaster with a name plate rating of 1050 watts at 120 volts AC?

Since the appliance is rated in watts, the rule of thumb can be applied directly: DC input current = 1050 ÷ 20 = 52.5 amps DC.

This information on estimating the DC input current requirement for an inverter will allow you to size an alternator or charging system to supply an inverter for c ontinuous operation. This rule of thumb will be used later in the discussions on battery sizing.

6.4 Battery Terminology and Ratings

Batteries used for automotive applications generally are lead-acid storage batteries. They can be separated into two categories according to their use: engine cranking batteries and deep cycle batteries. The engine cranking battery is specifically designed to supply hundreds of amps for a short period of time to start an engine. Cranking an engine usually uses a small portion of the battery's total capacity and once the engine is running, the battery is quickly recharged by the engine's alternator. The deep cycle battery is specifically designed to deliver current for extended periods of time and can be almost totally discharged before recharging.

The "deep cycle" lead-acid battery is designed to withstand the deep discharge/recharge cycling that is typical of most inverter installations. These batteries are available in the "maintenance free" style where the electrolyte does not need to be checked or replenished and they also are available in the gelled electr olyte style or "Gel Cells". Deep cycle batteries are generally advertised for use in recreational vehicles or boats and are sometimes referred to as RV or marine batteries.

Battery Council International (BCI) is a voluntary industry organization which has helped to standar dize battery ratings. Ratings in use at this date are:

CCA (Cold Cranking Amperes): Rating in am ps a battery cold soaked at 0°F or –20°F will carry for 30

seconds and maintain a minimum terminal voltage of 7.2.

MCA (Marine Cranking Amperes): Rating in amps a battery cold soaked at 30°F will carry for 30 seconds

and maintain a minimum terminal voltage of 7.2.

RC (Reserve Capacity): Rating in minutes a battery will carry a 25 amp load at 80°F and maintain a

minimum terminal voltage of 10.5.

AH (Amp Hour): At the “20 Hour Rate”, also called the C Rate, a battery having a 100 AH rating mus t

carry a 5 amp load for 20 hours (100AH ÷ 20 hours = 5 amps) and maintain a term inal voltage of

10.5 at 80°F. (Two 100AH 12volt batteries connected in series provides 100AH at 24 volts . Two 100 AH 12volt batteries connected in parallel provides 200 AH at 12 volts.).

CCA and MCA are used for sizing an engine cranking battery and have no bearing on a batter y's cycling ability. RC is a rating given to cranking batteries to pr ovide an idea of how long a vehic le c ould be driven if the vehicle charging system were to fail.

The most important and probably least understood battery capacity rating is the ampere-hour. One simple reason the AH rating is misunders tood is that a battery rated at 100 AH cannot always deliver 100 AH. The underlying reason is the efficiency with which the battery converts its chemic al energy into electric energy. The AH capacity of a battery is affected in the following ways:

Discharge rate: A battery becomes less efficient as the dischar ge current increases. For example, a typical 100 AH battery is specified to be able to deliver 5 amps for a period of 20 hours . If the dischar ge current were increased to 25 amps, the capacity will be reduced to approximately 75 AH (25 amps x 3 hours = 75 AH).

Operating temperature: A battery becomes less efficient at lower tem peratures. Most battery manufacturers specify the battery AH capacity at 80° F. At a temperature of 32° F, the same batter y will have only about 65% of its rated capacity even though it may be fully charged. At a temperature of 0° F , a battery's capacity will be reduced to about 40% of its rated capacity.

Battery age: As a battery is used, the active material on the battery plates will gradually deteriorate and become useless. As the battery gets older, there will be less and less useful material left on the plates and the operating time will become noticeably shorter. A batter y will age faster (loose active m aterial from its plates faster) if it is deeply discharged regularly, if it is left in a discharged state for extended periods of time, or if it is repeatedly overcharged.

Series and/or Parallel Connected Batteries: Up to this point we have spok en of the batter y as if it were a s ingle battery. In some cases this may be true, but in general, the battery may be made up of several individual batteries electrically connected together to form a "Bank" of batteries. Batteries can be connected in series, parallel, or a combination of s eries and parallel as long as all of the batteries in the bank are of equal ratings, are from the sam e manuf acturer, and are the sam e age. Old and new batteries should never be m ixed in the same battery bank. Mixed batteries will result in accelerated battery failure due to the unequal discharge and recharge rates.

A series connection is where two or mor e batteries are connec ted positive (+) to negative (- ). T he total voltage

TruSine 4.5 kW Inverter Page 25 Owner’s Manual

General Information

of the battery bank is the sum of the voltage of each battery in the bank. For exam ple, most large custom coaches require a 24 volt battery to crank the large diesel engine. The 24 volts is usually provided by connecting two 12 volt batteries in series, and sometim es by connecting four 6 volt batteries in s eries. The ratings of the series connected batter y bank remain the same as the individual battery's rating. If the battery bank is made up of two 8D size batteries in series , eac h with a CCA of 1050 amps, 425 m inutes RC, and amphour capacity of 200 AH, then these individual battery ratings are also the ratings of the entire 24 volt battery bank.

Parallel connected batteries are batteries which are connected pos itive to positive and negative to negative. They form a battery bank that has the same voltage as each individual battery. The ratings of a parallel connected battery bank, in general, are the sum of the individual batteries. For instanc e, if two 8D batteries are connected in parallel, and each battery has the ratings given in the paragraph above, then the ratings for the battery bank become 2100 CCA, 900 minutes RC, and approximately 400 amp-hours. Parallel connected batteries should be of the same voltage and rating to achieve optimum battery life and performance.

6.5 Sizing the Inverter Battery

Sizing a battery system for an inverter application can be a very tedious task if all the dif ferent variables, suc h as discharge rate, depth of discharge, and operating life time are included in the calculations . T o simplify these calculations and get a reasonably correct battery size, we will assume: 1) A 50% depth of discharge for the purpose of obtaining a reasonable life tim e for a reas onable battery system cost, 2) there is no charge cur rent into the battery system, 3) the batteries are in a fully charged state at the beginning of the dis charge cycle, and

4) the DC current draw from the battery does not exceed 1/3 the C rate for any length of time. Follow the steps listed below to find the AH capacity required for your application. Step 1: Mak e a list of each appliance, its power require ment in watts, and the amount of time in hours it will

be operating between charging cycles. Note: If the appliance is rated in am peres (am ps) instead of watts, multiply the amps by the voltage (120 or 240) to get watts.

Step 2: Calculate the watt-hours required for each appliance by multiplying the power requirement by the

operating time of that appliance. Step 3: Calculate the total watt-hours needed by adding together the watt-hours of each appliance. Step 4: Find the amp-hours consumed by dividing the total watt-hours found in step 3 by 10 for 12 volt DC

systems or by 20 for 24 volt DC systems. Step 5: Multiply the amp-hours consumed by 2 (for 50% depth of discharge) to get the battery amp-hour

capacity desired.

Example 1: Follow Steps 1 through 3 (above)

Appliance Power Rating

TV, VCR, Stereo 225 watts 2.5 hours 563 watt-hours

Small Refrigerator 300 3.8 1,140

Microwave 800 0.3 240

TOTALS 1,943 watt-hours

Step 4: Amp-hours consumed = 1943 watt-hours ÷ 20 = 97.15 amp-hours for 24 a volt system. Step 5: The minimum battery size for this application is 2 x 97.15 = 194.3 amp-hours.

6.6 Battery and Charging System Considerations

The Battery and DC Charging System is a very important part of your inverter installation respons ible to supply all of the DC power required by the inverter. The system normally consists of the primary charger (engine alternator or photovoltaic array), a secondary charger, if used, the battery, and other equipment which may be used such as battery isolator diodes. The com plexity of the system depends on the way the inverter is us ed. In some cases, such as utility or service vehicles, the system may be as simple as the engine alternator and the cranking battery which also powers the inverter. In most cases, additional equipment is needed to provide additional DC power and/or protection. These systems c an be grouped into two categories, the single battery

TruSine 4.5 kW Inverter Page 26 Owners Manual

General Information

and the dual battery systems. In the single battery system, there is one battery which is shared for starting the engine and operating the

inverter. This is a common practice in a service vehicle where the engine runs all the time and allows the alternator to provide continuous charging for the battery. In this case, the inverter can be connected dir ectly to the engine cranking battery. The most important detail of this system is the alternator output rating. The continuous output of the alternator needs to be at least as m uch as the total DC cur rent draw on the system. The total DC current draw must include the inverter, warning lights, radios, engine controls, and any other device connected to the DC system. Care should be used when operating this type of system while the engine is shut off. The inverter will shut its elf OFF for low battery but most other DC loads will not. The vehicle battery may be drained too low to restart the engine.

The dual battery system uses two separate batteries, one for starting the engine and operating the vehicle's systems, and one for operating the inverter. T he two batteries are usually referr ed to as the "crank ing battery" and the "house or auxiliary battery" respectively. The two separate batteries are usually charged from the same source, the engine alternator , but are s epar ated by a device called a battery isolator. The battery isolator allows DC current to flow from the alternator into each battery, but blocks curr ent from f lowing from one batter y to the other. This is a must to protect the cranking battery in recreation vehicles, boats and other vehicles where the inverter needs to be operated when the engine (therefore the alternator) is not running.

6.7 Battery Charging Guidelines

CAUTION

The following information on batter y charger setup adj ustments should be used as guidelines only. Vanner strongly recommends that you contact the m anufacturer of your batteries to obtain the specif ic charging setup values for the type and model of battery you are using. This is due to the fact that battery charging parameters such as bulk, absorption, float and equalize voltages vary from one manufacturer to another, and that gel cell batteries have different param eters than wet lead acid batteries. An im properly adjusted battery charger may cause damage to your batteries!

The maximum charging current for a battery is usually equal to 20% of the battery's Amp hour capacity (“C”) for lead acid batteries, and 50% of the battery's C for gel cell batteries. T he C rate is numerically equal to the amp-hour capacity for the battery. For example, a 280 amp-hour battery has a C rate of 280 amps, and the maximum charge rate would be 56 amps DC. (Note that this is not the same as the batter y's Cold Cranking Amp rating.) You should also take into consideration that if two batteries ar e connected in parallel their amphours add but if batteries are connected in series their amp-hours remain the same.
