AURORA TRIO

‘Electrolyte-free’ power converter to further increase the life expectancy and long term reliability

True 3-phase bridge topology for DC/AC output converter

Night Wake up button to access energy harvesting data and error log

Dual input sections with independent MPP tracking, allow optimal energy harvesting from two sub-

arrays oriented in different directions

High speed and precise MPPT algorithm for real time power tracking and improved energy harvesting

Flat effi ciency curves ensure high effi ciency at all output levels insuring consistent and stable perfor-

mance across the entire input voltage and output power range

Anti-Islanding Protection

Watertight NEMA 4X enclosure

Integrated disconnect in compliance with NA Standards (-S and -S2 Versions)

RS-485 communication interface (for connection to laptop or datalogger)

Compatible with PVI-RADIOMODULE for wireless communication with Aurora PVI-DESKTOP

Designed for commercial usage, this three-phase inverter is unique in its ability to control the performance of the PV panels, especially during periods of variable weather conditions. This device has two independent MPPTs and effi ciency ratings of up to 97.3%.

The HF isolation allows positive or negative ground confi guration. Versions are available with fully-integrated DC and AC disconnect options. The unit is free of electrolytic capacitors, leading to a longer product lifetime.
