LXP12000 HYBRID (Parallel)

Description

The Lux Hybrid 12kw Parallel unit is a single phase inverter. The maximum PV input is 18kw over 4 inputs with dual MPPT tracking. The unit have been developed to work with the Hanchu batteries.

The unit is capable of a charge rate of 12kw, discharge of 12kw and therefore a supply to the EPS of up to 12kw. This unit also has a separate input for a generator making it extremely flexible.

It is important to understand that a charge/discharge rate of 12kw is 250A which is above the capacity of standard batteries. Therefore if requiring the Max rate of 12kw for charge/discharge a combiner box must be used to create this amperage safely. Using the combiner box allows a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 16 of the Hanchu 3.2kW or 9.4kW Lithium batteries.

Without the use of a combiner box it is possible to install from 1-8 Hanchu batteries, however it is necessary to reduce the amps to 100A on the Lux controller, upgrade the batteries and install a 100A DC breaker to ensure there cannot be any overload.

The Lux Hybrid units benefit from all the same monitoring platforms available to the Luxpower range with all of the additional features such as Octopus Agile and Weather compensation for free.

Paralleling a unit is a way of linking more than one unit together, and selecting one unit to be the Primary unit with all others acting as subordinates. This way allows the units to better work together.

The Hanchu Combiner box is designed to work with the 3.2 and the 9.4 kWh batteries.

When using the Luxpower 7kw or 12kw Hybrid inverters, the current (amps) demand is too large for the batteries. Therefore a combiner box allows the batteries to be used as the combiner will add the amps of the batteries together and deliver the higher power through a single larger cable.

Whenever using the combiner box please check you have all the relevant instructions and wiring schematics to correctly set up this rate of charge and discharge.

A parallel unit is a unit which can be used as a single stand alone unit, or as part of a larger system. If more than one unit is being used, then they can be linked together. When linking them together they operate as one unit being the Primary unit with all other units operating as Subordinate units.

Where more than one unit is being installed in parallel the Primary unit is installed exactly like any single unit would be installed – using the CT clamp to measure the operation of the property, then the other units are changed (on the monitoring) to be Subordinate units, simply taking command from the primary unit as to charging or discharging.

Using multiple units in Parallel allows the units to work an be controlled from the Primary Lux unit, providing better communication between the units for more balanced performance.
