TrueString 480V
String Inverter,
8 kW 3-phase

Features

  • Rugged 3-phase 480V plug & play system
  • Small and light (hand-holdable, 24 lb.)
  • Non-isolated inverter for use with ungrounded DC systems
  • 98.6% peak efficiency
  • 200-850V MPP voltage range for 600V and 1,000V systems
  • 8 kWAC, full power MPP voltage 425-850V
  • Two DC string inputs with independent monitoring and MPPT management.
  • Waterproof NEMA6, silent convection cooling
  • Designed for high reliability, uses no electrolytic capacitors
  • Wide temperature range, -40 to +65 °C
  • Utility-Interactive; Listed to UL1741
  • Compliant with NEC 690.11 arc detection
  • Array-mountable for easy NEC 2014 690.12 compliance
  • CEC-listed

Applications

  • Rooftop commercial; usable where other solutions just won’t work – for example coastal, desert, high altitude locations
  • Car ports, parking and shade structures; units may be mounted at any orientation, under modules, on racking without extra strengthening, clear of risk of liability from vandalism
