Generator-Only Systems
In these applications, an AC generator serves as the main AC source
when batteries are insufficient to power the loads. Both an AC and a DC
generator can provide a power source for the battery charger. With the aid
of the Xantrex Generator Start Module (GSM), the Sine Wave Plus can
turn on automatically most remote-starting generators, on demand.
See “Generator Considerations” on page 2–19 and Appendix D,
“Generators” for additional information regarding using generators for
system input.
Single-Inverter Configurations
A single-inverter system is usually adequate to power most 120 Vac
loads. If 240 Vac is required from the system and doesn’t exceed the
wattage output of a single inverter, a step-up autotransformer can be
added to the output of the system to increase the voltage output.
See Figure 2-19 for an illustration of a 120 Vac generator-only system
using a single inverter. Disregard any part of this illustration that does not
apply to the system configuration being installed.
