5.2.5 AC parallel mode If electrical appliances require higher power or 240V AC power, you can use two sets of F3600-US to expand the output power to 7200W through DOUBLE VOLTAGE HUB connection. DOUBLE VOLTAGE HUB has two 240V/20A AC sockets and two 240V/30A AC sockets. During use, first connect the two cables of DOUBLE VOLTAGE HUB to the EV INPUT/DUPLEX ports of the two sets of F3600, DOUBLE VOLTAGE HUB can be fixed on the wall. Start F3600-US and turn on the AC output switch. DOUBLE VOLTAGE HUB can output 240V AC power.

Figure 5-14
F3600 requires about 10ms to switch during a power outage, so it cannot be used as an online UPS. For electrical appliances with high requirements for UPS switching, please confirm whether the electrical appliance allows the required time for switching of this product before use. RUNHOOD will not be responsible for the loss caused by forced use in case of non-conforming switching time.
5.2.6.2 Residential energy storage and power backup F3600 can be used as a residential backup energy storage battery After two sets of F3600-US are AC parallel connected, they can split the phase together through the HOME BACK UP interface to output 240V AC. In case of a power outage, you can expand the capacity of F3600 using the “F3600+B3600” parallel mode by switching through the Sub Panel switch.
The installation under this mode must be performed by professionals. Please read this section carefully before installation.
