AC Charger
The inverter is equipped with an active PFC (power factor correction) multistage battery charger. The PFC
feature is used to control the amount of power used to charge the batteries in order to obtain a power factor as
close as possible to 1.
When AC voltage is in the range of 154~260VAC, the charging current is 100%. Once it exceeds 260VAC, it
must be restored to 250VAC before it can be charged.
The inverter/charger has a very rapid charge current available, and the max charge current can be adjusted
from 10A to 100A in small increments on the inverter‟s LCD. This is helpful if this powerful charger applies
charging to a small capacity battery bank.
There are mainly 3 stages:
Bulk Charging
: 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 is
achieved.
Absorb Charging
: This is the second charging stage and begins after the absorb voltage has been reached.
Absorb charging provides the batteries with a constant voltage and reduces the DC charging current in order to
maintain the absorb voltage setting.
In this period
，
the inverter will start a T1 time; the charger will keep the boost voltage in Boost CV mode until
the T1 time has run out. When charging current is <0.01C or the time is over 12 hours, then drop the voltage
Down to the float voltage.
Float Charging
: The third charging stage occurs at the end of the absorb charging time. During float charging,
the charge voltage is reduced to the float charge voltage. In this stage, the battery are kept fully charged and
ready if needed by the inverter.
