The
new OutBack VFX series is a ventilated
version of the original sealed FX series
modular "building block” sine
wave inverter/charger that can be used
for both small and large power systems.
By allowing cooler outside airflow
through the internal electronics, more
AC power is available and operation in
extremely hot environments is improved
compared to the sealed FX series. Each
OutBack FX or VFX inverter/charger is a
complete power conversion system - DC to
AC inverter, battery charger and AC
transfer switch. Additional FX
inverter/chargers can be connected at
any time in either parallel (120 VAC),
series (120/240 VAC), or three-phase
(120Y208 VAC) configurations. This
allows a system to be tailored to meet
the specific power conversion
requirements of the application, both at
the time of the installation and in the
future.
The OutBack VFX
series is also available in export
versions with 230 VAC, 50 hz output that
can be connected in parallel (230 VAC)
or in three phase (230Y400 VAC)
configurations. Like the FX series, the
OutBack VFX is also designed to survive
harsh environments around the world. The
full sreened vent openings are
"bug-proof" and the die-cast
aluminum chassis protects and keeps the
power conversion components cool in very
hot environments even when operated at
high power for extended periods. The VFX
can be used in high ambient applications
up to 60oC (with reduced output
ratings). The OutBack VFX series
inverter/charger system is designed for
both residential and commercial
stand-alone or back-up power
applications with battery energy
storage. It is designed to operate as a
coordinated system with the other
OutBack products i.e. the PSDC, PSAC and
PSR enclosures as well as the MX60 MPPT
charge controllers and MATE system
controller and display.
