Technical FAQs 4

What is an auxiliary inverter?

It consists of an inverter bridge and control logic. The auxiliary inverter can provide various types of peripheral devices, such as air conditioning compressors, cooling fans, circulation pumps, hydraulic pumps, and other low-power motor drives.

Why do solar inverters need auxiliary power supply?

The control domain, consisting of microcontrollers, gathers information from all of the above to enable efficient and reliable power conversion. With such dependency on so many different devices, it only makes sense that the auxiliary power supply is just as important to proper solar inverter operation.

How much power does an inverter need?

It’s important to note what this means: In order for an inverter to put out the rated amount of power, it will need to have a power input that exceeds the output. For example, an inverter with a rated output power of 5,000 W and a peak efficiency of 95% requires an input power of 5,263 W to operate at full power.

How do you classify an inverter based on its power output?

Using the CEC efficiency, the input power to the inverter must be PIN=POUT/CEC Efficiency=3,300 W/0.945=3,492 W Inverters can be classed according to their power output. The following information is not set in stone, but it gives you an idea of the classifications and general power ranges associated with them.
