Product overview

Q01What does each G Series module do?

Each module has one defined role in the stack. The main base controls the system; batteries add stored energy; extra inverters add independent AC output; and the optional chassis makes the assembled system mobile.

  • Main baseThe control center. It provides pure-sine-wave AC output, accepts AC mains charging and provides the system’s only solar-input port.
  • Extra inverterAdds an independent AC-output channel and accepts AC mains charging. It does not provide a solar input.
  • Extra batteryAdds 2,400Wh (2.4kWh) of stored energy to the system.
  • Off-road mobile chassisAn optional die-cast aluminum trolley with four 4-inch aluminum wheel hubs and a listed maximum load of 200kg.

Q04Can the G Series work as a UPS, and how are ≤20ms and 0ms transfer configured?

Yes. The system supports pass-through power, simultaneous charging and discharging, and automatic battery takeover after a mains failure. Transfer behavior depends on the module configuration.

  • ≤20ms setupConnect the main base to grid power, turn on AC input and AC output, and connect protected loads to the main base AC outlets.
  • 0ms setupUse a main base plus an extra inverter. Keep AC input on and AC output off at the main base; disconnect grid input from the extra inverter, turn on its AC output, and connect the protected loads to the extra inverter.
  • Stacking ruleKeep one battery module between the main base and the extra inverter rather than placing the two inverter modules directly together.
Dealer training · Q4 · slide 26
Q05Can one system output both 110V and 230V?

The dealer-training configuration supports a 230V main base paired with a 110V extra inverter, or the reverse, so the system can provide both voltage standards at the same time through separate inverter modules.

ImportantConfirm regional compatibility, connectors and applicable electrical rules before mixing voltage standards.

Q11Why does charging power sometimes fall below the maximum rating?

The system can reduce charging power automatically as part of its protection and power-management logic.

  • Temperature protectionVery high or low ambient temperatures can trigger a lower charging rate to protect the battery.
  • Charging stageBelow 10% or above 80% state of charge, the system may reduce power and use a gentler charging stage.
  • Input-source limitUnstable mains voltage or a socket or cable with insufficient capacity can restrict input power.
  • Output priorityWhen the system is also delivering a high-power load, it can prioritize output and dynamically reduce charging power.

Household backup

Q13Is the system single-phase or three-phase, and can it connect to household power?

It is a single-phase system and does not support 380V three-phase input or output. It can be used as a household backup power source when connected through an appropriate, isolated backup configuration.

Dealer training · Q13 · slide 32
Q14How should the system be connected for household backup?

The dealer-training material describes a simple plug-in method for individual appliances and a professionally installed transfer-switch method for selected circuits or whole-home backup.

  • Individual appliancesPlug the main base AC input into a wall socket, then plug the appliances that need backup power into the system’s AC outlets. Automatic transfer activates after a mains failure.
  • Home circuitsA certified electrician installs an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in the distribution panel so selected circuits can be physically isolated and transferred to storage power.
  • Included switchThe training deck states that a basic transfer switch is supplied, but that it does not provide intelligent power distribution or energy monitoring.
  • US installationThe deck advises electricians to select a recognized NEC-compliant transfer switch, such as a suitable Reliance model, where required by local rules.

ImportantDistribution-panel work must be designed, installed and inspected by a qualified electrician under current local electrical codes.

Dealer training · Q14 · slide 32
Q15What precautions apply when connecting the system to household circuits?

The power station must remain electrically isolated from the public grid and must never be connected in a way that can backfeed utility lines.

  • No direct grid-tieNever connect the output directly to the grid. Use physical isolation through an approved transfer switch.
  • Respect channel limitsDo not exceed the rated output of an individual inverter channel.
  • Use qualified materialsThe training material specifies wiring and sockets rated at 16A or higher.
  • Professional installationAny distribution-panel modification must be performed and inspected by a certified electrician.
Dealer training · Q15 · slide 33
Q16Can stored energy be sold back to the public grid?

No. This portable storage system is not a grid-tied bidirectional inverter and does not provide the anti-islanding protection required for grid export. It supports one-way use: charge from an approved source, then power appliances through its own outputs or an isolated backup arrangement.

ImportantAttempting to backfeed the grid is unsafe, can damage equipment and can endanger utility workers.

Runtime & troubleshooting

Q24Why is real-world runtime shorter than capacity divided by appliance watts?

Rated capacity is measured under controlled conditions. Real use includes conversion losses, startup surges, fluctuating loads, temperature effects and normal battery aging.

  • Inverter lossConverting battery DC power to AC typically uses about 10–15% of the stored energy, leaving roughly 85–90% available to AC loads.
  • Motor startupRefrigerators, air conditioners, drills and other motor loads can briefly draw two to three times their rated running power.
  • Changing duty cycleTools and appliances draw different power while starting, idling and working, and repeated cycling adds consumption.
  • Temperature and ageCold conditions can reduce discharge efficiency, while usable capacity gradually declines over long-term use.
Dealer training · Q24 · slide 38
Q25Why can an appliance fail to start even when its rated watts are below the inverter rating?

The appliance’s steady running wattage may fit while its startup demand does not. Inductive loads and several devices starting together can exceed the inverter channel’s short-duration limit and trigger protection.

  • Motor surgeRefrigerators, air conditioners, pumps and power drills can draw two to three times their rated watts at startup.
  • Reactive demandInductive loads can reduce the inverter’s effective available power even when the nameplate wattage appears acceptable.
  • Simultaneous startupStarting several appliances together combines their surge demands.
  • Voltage dropA large instantaneous current can cause a brief voltage drop and trigger low-voltage protection.
