Description
This section of the Owner’s manual will cover command and
control of the system, and also describe the different
components that make up the RE-4500.
The RE-4500 is an Inverter/Charger system that has the
capability of drawing power from the grid or selling excess
power back to the grid, and creating split-phase 240 VAC from
a nominal 24 VDC source (RE24-4500), or a nominal 48VDC
source (RE48-4500). This DC source can consist of both
Photovoltaic Modules and lead acid batteries of Flooded Cell,
Gel Cell, or AGM types.
Warning
It is important not to mix types of batteries in a string. Mixing
different types of batteries could result in death, explosion, or fire,
which would damage equipment and void the warranty.
The RE-4500 also has the capability of charging the battery
bank from the grid itself, in the event that solar power is not
available and the batteries are discharged.
Figure 5-1: Block Diagram shows the components of the RE-
4500.
