Power Panels are Xantrex's first packaged power system. They are less expensive than an on-site component installation and meet many power application needs. To install a Power Panel, simply connect them to the battery, PV and or AC loads, Power Panels include inverters and are assembled by Xantrex with components specified by the dealer or customer.

Included in all Power Panel Systems:

  • Powder-coated steel backplate prewired with all NEC / UL required AC & DC overcurrent protection and disconnects (only for indoor installation). Simply connect to the battery and AC loads and your system is operational.
  • Can be used with wind, solar, or hydro DC charging sources
  • 60 amp AC system bypass that allows inverter servicing while keeping AC loads connected to the grid or generator
  • ETL listed components and enclosure
  • Negative/ground bonding block

Options

  • Optional nonmetallic battery enclosure which doubles as a shipping enclosure
  • Single or dual C40 Charge controllers for solar, wind, hydro DC charging sources
  • Flexible conduit for connection of the system to the battery enclosure
  • One or two Trace™ SW or DR inverters

SW Series Power Panels

  • Sine wave AC power inverter with high-efficiency, bidirectional operation
  • Up to 11 kW of continuous AC power
  • Up to 60 amps of AC input from a generator or utility grid
  • Three-stage, temperature-compensated battery charging
    (up to 300A @ 12VDC, 240A @ 24 VDC, and 150A @ 48 VDC)
  • Utility-interactive and generator-support operating modes
  • Able to regulate up to 4.8 kW of power from solar or other DC charging sources
  • Available outputs of 105, 120, 230 or 120/240 vac at 50 or 60 Hz.
  • Available for a 12, 24 or 48-volt DC system

DR Series Power Panels

  • Modified sine wave AC power inverter with high-efficiency operation and battery charging ability
  • Up to 7.2 kW of continuous AC power (120/240 vac systems)
  • 30 amps of AC pass through power at 120 or 120/240 vac from a generator or utility grid to your loads, in addition to the charger draw
  • Three-stage, temperature-compensated battery charging - up to 240A @ 12 VDC or 140A @ 24 VDC

PPO-SB Heavy duty plastic shipping container, excellent for making a battery box (ID: 24"H X 46"L X 42"W)
Dual Power Panel systems (/D) require two battery cable pair. Total battery cable length that is usable is 1 foot less than the length ordered due to 1 foot required in the DC disconnect (i.e. PPO-BC5-2/0 is 5 feet long one-way, but 4 feet usable to the battery bank).
**Battery cables are offered only as an option and are not pre-installed on the Power Panel.
