2.0 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Mini Magnum Panel (MMP) enclosure, part of a new line of
Panel Systems from Magnum Energy. Installing an inverter system is now as simple as mounting
the MMP enclosure, installing the inverter, connecting the battery bank, and if needed, bringing in
AC power from a generator or the utility. The inverter’s required AC and DC disconnects and wire
connection points are all together, and integrated in one self-contained MMP enclosure.
This unit has been specifi cally designed to combine all of the major components required for a
renewable energy system — inverter/battery disconnect, AC overcurrent protection, grounding
connections, and a full system inverter bypass switch as a convenient way to isolate the inverter
for battery maintenance — into a single, easy to install pre-wired enclosure.
Designed for single inverter applications, the MMP enclosure features convenient front panel opera-
tion, and with the optional front panel remote, allows you to easily set up, monitor, and operate
your Magnum inverter system. In addition to saving time and money by providing a simple and
convenient inverter installation, the MMP enclosure ensures safety and reliability by providing a
UL and CSA certifi ed and code compliant system.
What makes the MMP enclosure stand out from the competition?
• It is engineered to combine the convenience and cost savings of a pre-wired, factory-integrated
system with the fl exibility of a single person, fi eld installable power system.
• The self-contained enclosure system approach is convenient and space-saving, reducing
installation time and cost compared to a conventional approach using multiple interconnected
components.
• The MMP enclosure can be combined at the factory with a Magnum Energy inverter that has
been pre-wired and tested as a complete system, ensuring reliable and consistent performance
meeting National Electric Code requirements with UL listed components.
• Four models are available to meet the fl exibility and power demands of your application.
• Specifi cally designed to fi t Magnum inverters, but easily adaptable to connect other inverter
systems in 12, 24, or 48 VDC standardized confi gurations.
• Includes a built-in AC maintenance bypass switch and a DC disconnect breaker for safe and
convenient servicing of the inverters and/or battery bank.
• Additional space to install up to eight
½” (12.7mm) wide DIN rail mounted breakers or four 1”
(25.4mm) wide back mounted breakers for use as DC load breakers, PV disconnects, or to install
PV-Ground Fault Protection (PV-GFP).
• A full system capacity DC shunt (500 amps) installed to allow easy connection to a state-of-
charge battery monitor.
• All AC/DC wiring connections and AC/DC circuit breaker operations are easily accessible from
the front.
• Additional accessories can be installed inside.
• The enclosure is powder coated for durability and to help prevent corrosion, and includes
conduit knockouts for connection to the batteries, PV, generator, or other AC/DC sources.
Regulatory Compliance
The MMP enclosure is designated as Interconnection System Equipment (ISE) for use with inverters.
It has been tested and certifi ed by Intertek Testing Services (known as ETL) to UL 1741, 1st Edition,
and is also CSA certifi ed to C22.2 No. 107.1-01 (R2006) for product safety and compliance to the
National Electric Code in the US and the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada.
ETL is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). NRTL’s are qualifi ed organizations that
meet the requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations to
perform independent safety testing and product certifi cation.
