Introduction
About the Freedom SW 3000
Inverter/Charger
The Freedom SW 3000 is a convenient combination of an inverter,
multistage battery charger, and transfer switch in one electronic device.
•As an inverter, the Freedom SW 3000 provides true sine wave power
for your microwave, entertainment system, computer, and other loads.
This power is identical to the AC source provided from the utility grid
(power company).
•Some of the benefits of true sine wave power include consistent
cooking in your microwave, handling of sensitive loads such as your
TV set, dimmer switches, and appliances with speed controls.
•As a 150 amp power-factor corrected charger, the Freedom SW 3000
quickly and efficiently recharges your batteries.
•Unique split phase design transfers up to 7.2 kW of incoming qualified
AC power.
Premium Power and Ease of Use
For managing your onboard power system, the Freedom SW 3000 provides
superior features and rugged durability combined with ease of use. The
Freedom SW 3000:
•Produces 120 volts AC at up to 3000 watts continuous with a 6000watt surge for ten seconds,
•Provides three-stage charging with 150 amps of output and charge
formulas for flooded, gel, and AGM deep cycle batteries plus
equalization for flooded batteries,
•Powers sensitive entertainment electronics using true sine wave power,
•Allows split phase input transfers of two legs of 30 amps to make full
use of the available AC power ,
•Has easy-to-read indicator lights on the front panel,
•Has automatic cooling fans, and
•Provides power sharing which reduces the charging current to prevent
unnecessary tripping of an AC input breaker.
2Freedom SW 3000 Owner’s Guide
How the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger
Works
The Freedom SW 3000 is designed to:
•invert,
•charge, and
•accept both split phase and dual input.
With AC input availa ble from the utility g rid or a generator , power is passed
through the Freedom SW 3000 Inverter/Charger to operate connected AC
loads. The remaining AC power not used by loads is converted to DC
power and used to charge batteries.
If AC input power becomes disconnected, fails, or falls out of specification
and is no longer qualified as good AC, a quick transfer takes place and the
Freedom SW 3000 begins converting DC power from the batteries into AC
power, to continue to supply power to the AC loads.
Inverting
The Freedom SW 3000’s inverting function produces 120 volts AC from
your batteries at 3000 watts continuous with 6000 watts of surge power to
start loads like pumps and refrigerators.
Introduction
Charging
The Freedom SW 3000’s charging function:
•produces 150 amps to charge your batteries, and
•equalizes flooded, lead acid batteries.
Built-in Charge Formulas For the unit to perform at the highest level,
the batteries must be charged correctly. The Freedom SW 3000 has
optimized algorithms for flooded, gel, and AGM batteries.
Battery Temperature Sensor Since battery temperature is a key factor
in correct charging, the charging formula must be adjusted (automatically
and in real time) according to the actual battery temperature to ensure that
batteries are fully charged, but not overcharged. For this reason, Xantrex®
has included a battery temperature sensor with your Freedom SW 3000 and
has temperature compensated the char ge formula.
Manual Equalization Over a period of time, the cells in a flooded
battery can develop uneven chemical states. This can result in a weak
(undercharged) cell which, in turn, can reduce the overall capacity of the
battery. To improve the life and performance of a non-sealed, flooded
battery, the Freedom SW 3000’s multi-stage charging cycle in cl udes a
manual equalize mode that can be used, if recommended by the battery
manufacturer.
Dead Battery Charging Another feature that the Freedom SW 3000
includes is dead battery charging. The Freedom SW 3000—unlike many
chargers—has the ability to recharge batteries even if the battery voltage is
very low, i.e., as low as 5 volts.
975-0545-01-013
Introduction
Load Management The Freedom SW 3000 has a built-in transfer relay
that connects your inverter output or AC input from the utility grid or
generator to your loads. Because the usual AC power sources such as
campground outlets or small generators often have limited current
availability, having the capability to manage your AC loads is extremely
valuable. The Freedom SW 3000 provides a number of features to facilitate
this:
•The charger is power factor corrected to use AC current as efficiently
as possible and only requires 22 amps to provide rated charger output.
Minimizing the AC current used by the charger means more current is
available for your AC loads.
•Freedom SW 3000 has a power share feature which prioritizes your
AC loads by reducing the charge current and maintaining the total
input current to less than your breaker setting or the breaker setting.
•Occasionally, AC input sources have low voltage. To avoid loading
these weak sources any further, the charger automatically reduces its
AC current draw as the AC voltage approaches the minimum
acceptable level.
Xanbus® System
The Xanbus system includes the Freedom SW 3000 and other Xanbusenabled devices. The Freedom SW 3000 is the device in a Xanbus system
that typically provides network power—500 mA at 12 volts DC. All of the
Xanbus-enabled devices, such as the Freedom SW 3000, the System
Control Panel (SCP), and the Automatic Generator Starter (AGS) are able
to communicate their settings and activity to each other. See Figure 1.

The Xanbus-enabled designation means that this product works on a
Xanbus network. Xanbus-enabled products are:
•Easy to use. The Xanbus network simplifies operation and automates
routine tasks.
•Reliable. Software control eliminates analog signalling errors.
•Accurate. Digital information is less susceptible to interference and
line loss.
•Upgradeable. Software upgrades mean your purchase will remain up
