The Classic MPPT Charge Controller will
substantially increase the flexibility, features, and range
currently found on MPPT controllers. The Classic is
the only MPPT controller that has Arc Default Protection,
soon to be required by the NEC, making The Classic
the safest controller available.
These charge controllers
also include ground fault protection so that a separate GFP
breaker assembly is not necessary, leaving those breaker
spaces free for other uses. Three models accommodate
solar arrays, with up to 150, 200, or 250 VDC of operating
voltage. The Classic is the first controller to offer
this high a voltage range, which allows the module strings
to be larger and the wire runs more efficient. Also, the
array can now be placed further from the
power center without having to increase the size of the
costly copper wire. The Classic has MPPT modes for solar, wind, or
hydro, with user-adjustable power curves. It also has a
learning mode for self optimization. No hub is
required for stacking multiple Classics to act as one large
controller.
The Classic has built-in Ethernet, USB,
and RS-232 ports for two-way communications. An
internal IP address allows The Classic to act as a mini web server when hooked up to
broadband. It has 32MB of memory for data storage and
a wizard-driven setup that covers battery bank size, string
voltage, wind turbine selection, power and wire loss, PV
breaker sizing, and more. |
