5311-09
POWER SUPPLIES - Distributed Generation Power Systems Equipment

COVERAGE:

Inverters, converters, charge controllers and output controllers for use in stand alone, utility interactive or a combination of both (multi-mode) systems. Utility Interactive devices operate in parallel with the utility grid. Stand-alone devices are intended to operate independent of the utility grid. Multimode devices can operate as both, either Stand-alone (utility independent) or Utility Interactive devices.

These products may contain energy storage devices and associated charge controllers.

These devices are intended for installation in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

The devices may be connected to different types and combinations of input sources e.g. generator sets, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, wind and microturbines or others as specified in the manufacturer's installation instructions.
