Applications
OutBack inverter/chargers are designed to use a battery bank to store energy. They work together
with power from the utility grid or from renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV)
modules, wind turbines, and other renewable sources. These sources charge the battery, which is
used by the inverter.
The Radian inverter has two sets of AC input terminals. Two AC sources, such as a gas or diesel
generator and the utility grid, can be connected. Other combinations of AC sources are possible.
NOTE:
The inverter can only accept one source at a time. The input marked
G
RID
has priority,
although this can be changed.
The Radian inverter’s settings can be changed to accommodate many applications. These include
off-grid, backup, and grid-interactive applications.
This product includes grid support functionality according to UL1741 SA. See the
Operator’s
Manual
for more information. Contact the utility company for any specific installation requirements.
