Table 6 Terms and Definitions
Term Definition
AC Alternating Current; refers to voltage produced by the inverter, utility grid, or generator
AC Plate Inverter accessory to accommodate flexible cable when conduit is not used
AGS Advanced Generator Start
AUX Inverter’s 12-volt auxiliary output
Communications
manager
Multi-port device such as the OutBack HUB10.3; used for connecting multiple OutBack devices on
a single remote display; essential for stacking inverters
DC Direct Current; refers to voltage produced by the batteries or renewable source
DCC DC Cover; shields the DC terminal area on vented FX-class inverters
DVM Digital Voltmeter
GFDI Ground Fault Detector Interruptor; a safety device for PV systems
GND Ground; a permanent conductive connection to earth for safety reasons; also known as Chassis
Ground, Protective Earth, and PE
Grid-interactive,
grid-intertie, grid-tie
Utility grid power is available for use and the inverter is a model capable of returning (selling)
electricity back to the utility grid
HUB10.3 An OutBack communications manager product; used for system stacking and coordination
Invert, inverting The act of converting DC voltage to AC voltage for load use or other applications
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission; an international standards organization
LED Light-Emitting Diode; refers to indicators used by the inverter and the system display
Master An inverter which provides the primary output phase of a stacked system; other stacked inverters
base their output and on/off state on the master
MATE3 An OutBack system display product, used for monitoring, programming and communicating with
the inverter
NEU AC Neutral; also known as Common
Neutral-to-ground bond A mechanical connection between the AC neutral (Common) bus and the ground (PE) bus; this
bond makes the AC neutral safe to handle
Off-grid
Utility grid power
is no
t
available for use
On-grid Utility grid power is available for use (does not imply grid-interactive capability)
PV Photovoltaic
RE Renewable Energy
RTS Remote Temperature Sensor; accessory that measures battery temperature for charging
Slave An inverter which adds additional power to the master or subphase master in a stacked system;
a slave does not provide an output of its own
