OutBack VFX Series Sine Wave Inverter Cat. No. 551INVTVFX

The new OutBack VFX series is a ventilated version of our original sealed FX series modular "building block” sine wave inverter/charger that can be used for both small and large power systems. By allowing cooler outside airflow through the internal electronics, more AC power is available and operation in extremely hot environments is improved compared to the sealed FX series. Each OutBack FX or VFX inverter/charger is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch. Additional FX inverter/chargers can be connected at any time in either parallel (120 VAC), series (120/240 VAC), or three-phase (120Y208 VAC) configurations. This allows a system to be tailored to meet the specific power conversion requirements of the application, both at the time of the installation and in the future. The OutBack VFX series is also available in export versions with 230 VAC, 50 hz output that can be connected in parallel (230 VAC) or in three phase (230Y400 VAC) configurations. Like the FX series, the OutBack VFX is also designed to survive harsh environments around the world. The full sreened vent openings are "bug-proof" and the die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool in very hot environments even when operated at high power for extended periods. The VFX can be used in high ambient applications up to 60oC (with reduced output ratings). The OutBack VFX series inverter/charger system is designed for both residential and commercial stand-alone or back-up power applications with battery energy storage. It is designed to operate as a coordinated system with the other OutBack products i.e. the PSDC, PSAC and PSR enclosures as well as the MX60 MPPT charge controllers and MATE system controller and display. Vented Construction Features: Powdercoated all aluminum die-cast chassis Internal electronic components are cooled by outside air Stainless steel screen to protect air intake and internal fan UL 94V0 plastic vent grills to protect the air exhaust. All openings are 0.0025 inches square to keep out dirt, bugs, and other critters – we call it “bug proof” construction Air inlet comes with removable, washable foam filter insert to trap small particles Conformal coated circuit boards to resist corrosion Higher output power when inverting or battery charging when compared with the sealed FX inverter versions Designed to allow easy field servicing and repair Ideal Applications: Montana or Arizona etc. where salt air is not a problem and climate is dry More watts per dollar Installations where well protected environments are available Specifications VFX 2812 VFX 3524 VFX 3648 VFX2612E VFX 3024E VFX 3048E Continuous Power Rating at 25 degrees C 2800 VA 3500 VA 3600VA 2600VA 3000VA 3000VA Nominal DC Input Voltage 12 VDC 24 VDC 48 VDC 12 VDC 24 VDC 48 VDC Nominal AC Input Voltage / Frequency 120V 60 Hz 120V 60 Hz 120V 60 Hz 230V / 50Hz 230V / 50Hz 230V / 50Hz Continuous AC RMS Output current at 25 C 23.3 amps 29.2 amps 30 amps 11.3 amps 13 amps 13 amps Idle Power (typical at no AC load) (sleep – 3 watts) 19-21 Watts 18-20 Watts 21-23 Watts 18-20 Watts 18-20 Watts 21-23 Watts Efficiency (typical at 25 degree C and 75% resistive load) >90% >90% >90% 89% 90% 90% Total Harmonic distortion voltage (typical / max) 2% / 5% 2% / 5% 2% / 5% 2% / 5% 2% / 5% 2% / 5% Output Voltage Regulation +/- 2% typ. +/- 2% typ +/- 2% typ +/- 2% typ +/- 2% typ +/- 2% typ Surge Power Capability Peak (1mSec) 56 amps AC 70 amps AC 70 amps AC 35 amps AC 35 amps AC 35 amps AC Surge Power Capability RMS (100mSec) 40 amps AC 50 amps AC 50 amps AC 20 amps AC 25 amps AC 25 amps AC Overload Capability (from 25 C start) 5 second 4000 VA 5000 VA 5000 VA 4000 VA 4800 VA 4800 VA Overload Capability (from 25 C start) 30 minutes 3200 VA 4000 VA 4000 VA 3100 VA 3300 VA 3300 VA Automatic AC transfer Relay (at nominal AC) 60 amps AC 60 amps AC 60 amps AC 30 amps AC 30 amps AC 30 amps AC AC Input Current (adjustable limits) 60 amps AC 60 amps max 60 amps max 30 amps max 30 amps max 30 amps max AC Input Voltage Range (adjustable limits) 90-140 VAC 200-260 VAC 200-260 VAC 200-260 VAC 200-260 VAC 200-260 VAC Frequency Range – AC Input 54-67.4 Hz 40 to 60 Hz 40 to 60 Hz 40 to 60 Hz 40 to 60 Hz 40 to 60 Hz DC Input Range (adjustable low battery cut-out) 10-16.5 VDC 20-33 VDC 40-66 VDC  10–16.5 VDC 20 - 33 VDC 40 - 66 VDC Recommended DC Breaker OBDC-250 OBDC-250 OBDC-175 OBDC-175 OBDC-250 OBDC-175 Continuous Battery Charger Output amps DC 125 amps DC 85 amps DC 45 amps DC 125 amps 85 amps 45 amps Shipping Weight 60 Lbs 60 Lbs 60 Lbs 60 Lbs 60 Lbs 60 Lbs Type: VFX 2812 Inverter : $2,459.70 VFX 3524 Inverter : $2,543.08 VFX 3648 Inverter : $2,442.46
