Operation
Bidirectional Theory of Operation
The Conext XW+ is a grid forming device consisting of a bidirectional inverter/
charger. It is capable of inverting DC power into AC power and controlling the
voltage and frequency of its inverter output. It will power external loads attached
to AC OUT (See Figure 1-2, “Inverting of DC to AC Connected to AC OUT” on
page 1–4).
The Conext XW+ is also capable of charging external batteries by converting AC
power into DC power (See Figure 1-3, “Charging External Batteries and
Supplying AC Out with AC Passthrough from AC1 Grid ” on page 1–5). The
Conext XW+ accepts AC power through connection AC2 for charging batteries,
usually from a generator (See Figure 1-4, “Charging External Batteries and
Supplying AC Out with AC Passthrough from AC2 Generator” on page 1–5).
The Conext XW+ will convert externally sourced DC power into AC power for
export to the utility grid attached to its AC1 connection (See Figure 1-5,
“Converting Excess Available DC power for Export to Utility Grid (AC1) and AC
Out” on page 1–6).
The Conext XW+ has an internal automatic transfer switch (K1, K2) which allows
either AC1 or AC2 to be connected to the inverter input, but not both at the same
time (See Figure 1-1, “Connection Points and Major Power Conversion
Components of Conext XW+ ” on page 1–4). This allows shared AC energy
during charging or to directly passthrough from AC1, or AC2, to AC Out.
