I n t r odu ct ion 1 .0 I n t r odu ct ion Congratulations on your purchase of a MS-PE Series inverter/charger from Magnum Energy. The MS-PE Series is a “pure” sine wave inverter designed especially for rugged mobile applications, home backup power, and standalone applications that require 230 VAC/50 Hz power. Powerful, yet simple to use, this inverter/charger will provide you with years of trouble-free performance you have come to expect from Magnum Energy.
I n t r odu ct ion 1 .2 H ow a n I n ve r t e r / Ch a r ge r W or k s There are two main modes of operation associated with the MS-PE inverter/charger: • I n ve r t e r M ode : When the inverter is properly connected to batteries and turned on, the direct current (DC) from the batteries is transformed into a pure sine wave alternating current (AC). This AC is similar to the voltage provided by your utility, and is used to power the electrical appliances (i.e.
I n t r odu ct ion 1 .4 Fe a t u r e s a n d Be n e fi t s The MS-PE Series inverter/charger is designed to allow easy access to wiring, circuit breakers, and controls. Its die cast baseplate with one-piece aluminum cover ensures maximum durability with minimum weight, as well as cooler, more efficient operation.

I n st a lla t ion 2 .4 .1 D C W ir e Sizin g It is important to use the correct sized DC wire to achieve maximum efficiency from the system and to reduce fire hazards associated with overheating. Always keep your wire runs as short as practical to prevent low voltage shutdowns and to keep the DC breaker from nuisance tripping (or open fuses) because of increased current draw. See Table 2-1 to select the minimum DC wire size (and corresponding overcurrent device) based on your inverter model.

I n st a lla t ion 2 .4 .4 W ir in g t h e Ba t t e r y Ba n k W ARN I N G: Lethal currents will be present if the positive and negative cables attached to the battery bank touch each other. During the installation and wiring process, ensure the cable ends are insulated or covered to prevent touching/shorting the cables.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .4 .6 W ir in g t h e I n ve r t e r t o t h e Ba t t e r y Ba n k CAUTI ON : The inverter is NOT reverse polarity protected—if this happens the inverter will be damaged and will not be covered under warranty. Before connecting the DC wires from the batteries to the inverter, verify the correct battery voltage and polarity using a voltmeter. If the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the negative terminal of the inverter and vice versa, severe damage will result.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .5 AC W ir in g This section provides information on how to make the AC connections to the inverter using the correct AC wire size and corresponding overcurrent protection. 2 .5 .1 Pr e - AC W ir in g Re qu ir e m e n t s CAUTI ON : Before installing any AC wiring, review the safety information at the beginning of this manual and the following to ensure a safe and long-lived system: • Always use properly rated circuit breakers.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .5 .3 AC Te r m in a l Block Con n e ct ion s The inverter has a four-pole AC terminal block and one AC ground terminal to connect the inverter’s AC input and output wiring. This terminal block allows either a service/distribution panel (main panel) or a generator to be wired to the inverter’s input, and then to a dedicated panel (sub-panel) between the inverter’s output wiring and the AC loads.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .5 .4 AC Con du ct or W ir in g The following steps are basic guidelines for installing and connecting the AC wiring into and out of the inverter. W ARN I N G: Before making any AC connections, make sure the inverter is disconnected from the battery and there is no other source of live power connected to the inverter. Remove the two Phillips screws on the AC wiring access cover (see Figure 1-3, Item 15) to access the internal AC terminal block (see Figure 2-8).

I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 Gr ou n din g I n ve r t e r s The inverter/charger should always be properly connected to a permanent, grounded wiring system. A properly grounded system limits the risk of electrical shock, reduces radio frequency noise from the inverter, and minimizes excessive surge voltages induced by lightning. Ensure there is a well-defined, low-resistance path from the electrical system to the grounding system.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 .1 Sizin g t h e Gr ou n din g Ele ct r ode Con du ct or s AC Side – The size of the AC grounding electrode conductor (GEC-AC) depends on the size of the largest ungrounded conductor feeding the AC load center. One 8.4 mm2 (#8 AWG) copper conductor will serve as an AC grounding electrode conductor (GEC-AC) for AC power conductors smaller than and including 33.6 mm2 (#2 AWG) copper. See Table 2-3 for additional values.
I n st a lla t ion • M e t h od 2 ( Figu r e 2 - 1 2 ) : When the AC and DC service panels are near each other, the AC grounding electrode conductor (GEC-AC) and the DC grounding electrode conductor (GEC-DC) can be connected to a single grounding electrode (GE).
I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 .2 Syst e m Bon din g Ju m pe r The MS-PE Series inverter does not include an internal bond between the grounded conductor (AC neutral/DC negative) and the equipment grounding terminals. This bond [system bonding jumper (SBJ)] is usually done in the main distribution panel for each electrical system. CAUTI ON : There should be one and only one point in each electrical system (both AC and DC) where the grounded conductor is attached to the grounding electrode conductor.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 .4 Gr ou n din g on Boa t s When installing the MS-PE Series inverter/charger on a boat, there are several considerations that must be followed when grounding to ensure a safe installation, prevent galvanic corrosion, and adhere to local codes and industry standards. En su r e a Sa fe Gr ou n d Con n e ct ion When AC on the boat is being supplied by shorepower, the onboard neutral should be connected to safety ground on the dock.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 .5 N e u t r a l t o Sa fe t y Gr ou n d Bon din g The recommended standards for safely wiring residential, commercial, and mobile installations (e.g., caravans and boats) require that the neutral and safety ground be connected at the AC source; whether it is the utility feed in your home, an inverter, or a generator. This is to establish a specification that maximizes the possibility that a circuit breaker will activate if a hot-wire-toground fault occurs.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .6 .6 D isa blin g t h e N e u t r a l- t o- Gr ou n d Con n e ct ion All MS-PE Series inverter/chargers have the automatic neutral-to-ground switching feature. In some installations/jurisdictions, this feature must be disabled. If you are not sure whether you must disable this feature, check your local code requirements. The following steps will guide you in disabling the neutral-to-ground switching feature in the MS-PE Series inverter/charger.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .7 I n ve r t e r N ot ifi ca t ion Re qu ir e m e n t s When an inverter is installed in a building, facility or structure, standard safety practices require a label or plaque be present. This label/plaque is required to be readily visible and provide information that informs personnel to the location of all electrical system disconnects. This is to ensure all power to a building is quickly located and shut down in an emergency.
I n st a lla t ion 2 .9 Fu n ct ion a l Te st After all electrical connections to the inverter, batteries, AC source, and sub-panel have been completed; follow these steps to test the installation and the inverter’s operation. CAUTI ON : Use a multimeter to verify the correct DC voltage for your particular inverter model (i.e.
Ope r a t ion 3 .0 Ope r a t ion The MS-PE Series inverter has two normal operating routines; Inverter mode, which powers your loads using the batteries, and Standby mode, which transfers the incoming AC power (e.g., utility power or a generator) to power your loads and to recharge the batteries. This inverter also includes an extensive protection circuitry to shut down the inverter under certain fault conditions. 3 .
Ope r a t ion 3 .2 St a n dby M ode The MS-PE Series features an automatic transfer relay and an internal battery charger when operating in Standby mode. Standby mode begins whenever AC power (utility grid or generator) is connected to the inverter’s AC input. Once the AC voltage and frequency of the incoming AC power is within the AC input limits, an automatic AC transfer relay is activated.
Ope r a t ion The Charge mode provides up to four separate charging stages: Bulk Charging, Absorb Charging, Float Charging, and Full Charge (see Figure 3-3). • Bu lk Ch a r gin g: This is the initial stage of charging. While bulk charging, the charger supplies the battery with controlled constant current. The charger will remain in bulk charge until the absorption charge voltage (determined by the Bat t ery Type selection* ) is achieved. The inverter’s green LED stays on (solid) to indicate bulk charging.
Ope r a t ion 3 .4 Tr a n sfe r Tim e While in Standby mode, the AC input is continually monitored. Whenever AC power falls below the VAC dropout voltage (150 VAC, default setting), the inverter automatically transfers back to Inverter mode with minimum interruption to your appliances—as long as the inverter is turned on. The transfer from Standby mode to Inverter mode occurs in approximately 16 milliseconds.
Ope r a t ion 3 .6 Pr ot e ct ion Cir cu it r y Ope r a t ion The inverter is protected against fault conditions and in normal usage it will be rare to see any. However, if a condition occurs that is outside the inverter’s normal operating parameters, it will shut down and attempt to protect itself, the battery bank, and your AC loads. If there is a condition that causes the inverter to shut down, it may be one of the following conditions [also refer to the Troubleshooting section (Section 4.
Ope r a t ion 3 .7 I n ve r t e r St a r t u p Pow e r ON / OFF Sw it ch : The inverter can be turned on and off by lightly pressing and releasing the Power ON/OFF switch on the front of the inverter (see Figure 3-5). When the inverter is first connected to the batteries, or when its automatic protection circuit has turned the inverter off, the ON/OFF switch will need to be pressed to start the unit (or reset per Section 4.4).
Ope r a t ion 3 .8 Fa ct or y D e fa u lt Va lu e s Your MS-PE Series inverter/charger uses default values for the adjustable settings (see Table 3-2) that are adequate for most installations. If some of your operating parameters need to be changed from the default values, an optional remote display can be used to make those changes. To help you determine if you need a remote display, information on the changeable inverter/charger settings is provided below.
Ope r a t ion 3 .9 I n ve r t e r Fa n Ope r a t ion The inverter contains two internal cooling fans that are automatically controlled. The speed of these fans is determined either by the internal temperature of the inverter or by the load on the inverter. The inverter’s fans will come on under the conditions listed below: • Fans run full speed if the internal transistors (FETs) or the power transformer reaches 80°C (176°F), or the inverter is running at 100% of its rated load.
