9.1.2. DC Output Port

How to Calculate the Operation Time

• What is the depth of discharge (DoD)?
  To extend the battery-life, the power station set the 90% DOD, which means that only 90% of the battery capacity can be discharged. 10% of the energy is reserved to avoid damage to the battery due to over-discharge.
  n indicates local inverter efficiency. DOD=90%, n =90%.

UPS

UPS Description
An uninterruptible power supply or uninterruptible power source (UPS) is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails. A UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency  power system or standby generator in that it will provide near­ instantaneous protection from input power interruptions, by supplying energy stored in batteries, supercapacitors, or flywheels.
FYI (For Your Information)
Max. capacity retention indicates the limit of capacity of the unit that can be recharged by grid, if you set the Max. battery capacity at 80% at Time Control UPS Mode and Customized UPS Mode then AC300 could be charged to 80% via grid. The rest of the 20% capacity will be recharged via solar panels.

  n indicates local inverter efficiency. DOD=90%, n =90%.

• The default working mode is “Standard UPS Mode”.
  

Enable UPS Running Mode
Standard UPS Mode

• The AC300+B300 will power your load directly from the grid and maintain a 100% charge. When grid power fails, the AC300 switches to internal batteries.
  

Time Control UPS Mode

• Set the times of the AC300+B300 to be charged via grid power and the times to run loads from its battery.
  Charge Time: Set the time of when the AC300+B300 is to be recharged by grid to avoid the higher electricity rates.
  Discharge Time: Set the time to switch to batteries to power loads connected to the Sub Panel (Optional Purchase).

• Parameter Setting:
  Battery SOC Low: When the remaining capacity of AC300+B300 is under the preset High/Low battery capacity, AC300+B300 will stop powering connected loads.
  Battery SOC High: The maximum capacity AC300+B300 can be charged via grid. Remaining capacity will be charged via solar panels, car, lead-acid battery or second adapter only.

Note:

1. Please disconnect the AC charging cable for both AC300 units while binding into split phase box.
2. Certificated Technician is required to build the split phase system to power the Sub Panel.
   Warning: If you insist to charge the AC300 which has been connected into split phase box already, please make sure the L1/L2/N wire is set at the right phase sequence or the AC300 will be damaged. L: Live wire N: Neutral wire

PV Priority UPS Mode

• PV Priority Mode: Recommended for areas with stable grid power. The battery will be recharged mainly by PV for power savings.
• Note: In PV Priority Mode, AC300 can only be recharged via grid to 30% capacity, and also discharge to 30% of the capacity (you can tweak it to 100% for full grid charging manually on touchscreen or App) as the “Reserved capacity for PV charging”. And rest of the capacity will be fully charged from either solar power or 2 adaptors.

Customized UPS Mode
