Sealed vs. Vented FX Inverters/Chargers
SEALED Inverter/Chargers:
• Humid climates without protective
enclosures for the system VENTED Inverter/Chargers:
• Coastal environments with corrosive salt • Dry, protected, indoor areas
air away from dust and organic
matter
• Dirty environments where air intake
openings can clog • Accessible, attended systems
• Boats where water can splash on • Inverter produces more power
the inverter
• NOTE: Not weatherproof; does not carry
a NEMA rating

• Dual auxiliary connections
• Front cooling vents – 3/8" clearance
requirements on sides
• Spring based wiring terminals – no torqueing
required
• Combines with GSLC load center
• Stack up to 10 inverters
• Can stack the GS4048A with GS8048A
• Mounting bracket makes installation easy

Diversion Load Sizing
• Diversion load needs to be sized
to approximately 125% of source
Watts
capacity
• Ensure load will draw proper
current and handle necessary
wattage
Amps Volts
Example: 1000 watt wind generator at 48 Vdc
1000 watts x 125% = 1250 load size
1250 watts/48Vdc = 26 amps dc
48Vdc/ 26 amps = 1.85 ohms
Volts
1.85 ohm load with at least 1250 Watt rating
Amps Ohms

Multiple Charge Controllers
Typical customer complaint: “My charge controllers
are fighting!”
Problem: None
Why is load sizing important?
Example Customer Request:
“I need a parts list for a 200 amp system for a house”
200 amp service * 240 Vac equals 48kw continuous load
This would equate to 6 GS8048A units
48kw load * 24 hours in a day equals 1.152 Mwh
For 1 day autonomy at 50% dod, 48,000 ah battery bank
This would be the equivalent of 960 L-16 batteries

System Sizing
Summary: 1,888 W of PV
**Derate Factor includes losses such as module production tolerance, module mismatch, and wiring/dust losses.
AC Generator Choices
Common Rules of thumb for generator sizing:
“Equal to the size of the inverter stack”
“Twice the size of the inverter stack”
