General information

Principle The main feature of the new Active Inverter Technology is intelligent charging. This means that the charging behaviour adapts itself automatically to the age and state of charge of the battery. This innovation extends the battery life and reduces the amount of maintenance required, while at the same time improving cost-effectiveness.
Active Inverter Technology is based on an inverter with active rectification and an intelligent safety cut-out. The charging current and voltage are held constant by a digital control that is not affected by any fluctuations in the mains voltage.
Device concept
The compact design reduces space requirements and makes portable use considerably easier. Add to this the fact that the active inverters can be used “onboard”. In addition to its many existing features, the charger has a modular design that makes it easy to upgrade; it is therefore ideally equipped for future requirements. A wide range of options is available.
Warning notices on the device
A number of safety symbols can be seen on the charger’s rating plate. The safety symbols must not be removed or painted over.Fronius Selectiva 1020E
