[. . . ] (See the GFX Series Installation Manual for more stacking instructions. ) Each inverter needs to be assigned a status -- "master" or "slave". The master is the primary and most heavily used unit. Slave inverters provide assistance when the loads are more than the master can handle alone. Programming involves using the system display to assign a status and stacking value to the inverter on each port. See the system display and HUB manuals for programming instructions. HUB4 Additional Ports Port 1 MATE Port MATE Figure 6 IMPORTANT: OutBack HUB4 and MATE The master inverter must always be connected to port 1 on the HUB. Connecting it elsewhere, or connecting a slave to port 1, will result in backfeed or output voltage errors which will shut the system down immediately. Installing multiple inverters without stacking them (or stacking them improperly) will result in similar errors and shutdown. Although stacking allows greater capacity, the loads, wiring, and breakers must still be sized appropriately. Additional terminations and bus bars may be required. Overloading may cause the breakers to trip or the inverters to shut down. CAUTION: Equipment Damage The inverters in a stacked system should all be the same DC voltage, wattage, and model. Do not stack inverters of different wattages. 24 900-0114-01-00 Rev A Operation Classic Series Stacking (Dual-Stack) In "classic" series stacking, two inverters create two separate 120 Vac output phases ("legs"). The other is the slave, which creates a 120 Vac output that is intentionally 180° out of phase with the master. Each of these legs can be used to power a separate set of 120 Vac loads. Collectively they form a "split-phase" configuration. This configuration produces 240 Vac, which can be used to power 240 Vac loads when both inverters work together. This system can continuously power 2. 6 ­ 3. 0 kVA of loads, depending on the inverter model. A single (phase) inverter can power 1. 3 ­ 1. 5 kVA of loads, depending on the inverter model. The two legs operate independently of each other. The 120 Vac loads on each leg cannot exceed a given inverter's wattage. Only two inverters, one per phase, may be installed in a classic series arrangement. 1. 3 kVA 120 Vac 1. 3 kVA 120 Vac 2. 6 kVA 240 Vac 1. 3 kVA 120 Vac 1. 3 kVA 120 Vac Figure 7 Example of Classic Series Stacking Arrangement (Two Inverters) Parallel Stacking (Dual-Stack and Larger) In parallel stacking, two or more inverters are stacked to create a single, common 120 Vac output. The master provides the primary output. The slaves are connected to the same output and assist the master. The slave inverters can be programmed to activate on demand, reducing idle-power consumption. They will remain off until the loads exceed a certain threshold.
