2. DESCRIPTION
The Powersine Combi is an all-in-one combination of a DC to AC true sinewave inverter, an
advanced multi-stage battery charger and a high speed AC transfer switch. All this is build
into one compact, yet installer friendly enclosure. Besides these three main functions, there
are several unique features offered as well. Some of which benefit from the strong
interaction between the three main functions.
The main task of the Powersine Combi is to act as an uninterruptable AC power supply (UPS).
In case of a grid/generator failure or disconnection, the Powersine Combi immediately stops
charging the battery, releases the AC transfer switch and activates the inverter which takes
over the supply to the connected loads. All this is achieved so fast, that even very critical
loads like computers will continue to operate without any problems. In case the
grid/generator is reconnected again and the voltage and frequency are within acceptable
limits, the Powersine Combi activates the AC transfer switch and battery charger again, while
deactivating the inverter. The connected loads are now supplied again by the grid/generator
without any interruption.
Additionally, the Powersine Combi offers features like :
- AC Input Power Boost, which temporarily assists weak AC input sources when the
connected load needs more power than available from the grid or generator.
- AC Input Current Limit, which limits the maximum current consumed from the AC
input source by the Powersine Combi. This limit is user adjustable.
- Power Factor Corrected AC Input, which optimizes energy efficiency and makes sure
that the maximum amount of charging current is available from your AC source.
- Intelligent 4-stage charge programs, user programmable to fit any battery type.
- Fully programmable inverter, transfer switch and battery charger parameters, using
the TBS Dashboard for Windows software.
- Programmable alarm relay, for optimal control of external devices like generator
starting or selective load disconnection (not available yet in firmware version 1.0.x).
- Freely assignable trigger input, which allows the user to control the Powersine Combi
by external events (not available yet in firmware version 1.0.x).
- Temperature controlled fans, to guarantee silent operation under less than full load
conditions.
- Temperature compensated battery charging, using the standard supplied battery
temperature sensor for maximum battery lifetimes.
