PowerOne Aurora PVI-S 3kW, 208/240/277VAC, 60Hz, 1-ph, Inverter
Product Description
Power One Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-S-US, 3kW 208/240/277VAC 60Hz 1-ph GridTied Inverter, no DC-Disconnect, 2 Unfused i/p and 2-MPPT, 10-Year Warranty
High-Efficiency 3kW Inverters.
Aurora® PVI-Series Inverters deliver optimized energy harvesting across a broad range of photovoltaic applications and operating conditions. Outdoor products feature rugged IP65 (NEMA 4X) rated enclosures. Indoor products combine attractive space-saving packaging with industry-leading performance and features.
Industry-Leading Features and Performance
- High efficiencies deliver more usable energy – models are available with CEC and Euro-rated efficiencies exceeding 96%.
- Total harmonic distortion typically less than 3.5%.
Field-Proven Reliability
- Grid-connected operation certified to international standards.
- Rugged designs provide a 25-year MTBF while delivering full-rated power on a continuous basis.
Installer Friendly
- Laptop-free configuration via front-panel mounted buttons.
- Optional Aurora® Easy Communication System enables remote monitoring via Internet, analog modem, or GSM modem.
- True sine-wave outputs feature self-selecting voltage capabilities.
- Integrated RS485 port allows PC-based monitoring of up to 31 inverters.
Unmatched Applications Flexibility
- Models available with 90 to 530 volt operating windows.
- Independent inputs, with high-speed MPPTs, optimize the energy available from multiple arrays with different orientations and tilt angles, and an unequal number of strings per array.
- Selected inverters feature an internal fan for extended ambient temperature operation.
High Efficiencies Across a Broad Range of Operating Conditions
PVI-3.0, PVI-3.6, and PVI-4.2 inverters work with nominal output voltage, at up to 96.8% effi ciency (CEC 96%). The graph to the right demonstrates the high efficiencies, across a continuous range of input voltages and load conditions, for the PVI-4.2. The graphs below depict the industry-leading performance of all models at three discrete MPPT-voltage reference points, and a continuous range of loadconditions.
