Examples of stacking configurations include "parallel" and "three-phase" configurations. Stacking requires an OutBack HUB product, as well as a system display. A system of four or fewer units may use the HUB4. Systems of up to ten units require the HUB10. All interconnections are made using CAT5 non-crossover cable. (See the International Series GFX 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 1ST 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. 24 900-0112-01-00 Rev A Operation Parallel Stacking (Dual-Stack and Larger) In parallel stacking, two or more inverters are stacked to create a single, common 230 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. A two-inverter system can continuously power 2. 6 ­ 2. 8 kVA of loads, depending on the inverter model. Up to ten inverters may be installed in a parallel arrangement.
