Table 17 Terms and Definitions
Auxiliary connection that supplies 12 Vdc to control external devices
Alternating Current; refers to voltage produced by the inverter, utility grid, or generator
Direct Current; refers to voltage produced by the batteries or renewable source
Ground; a permanent conductive connection to earth for safety reasons; also known as
Chassis Ground, Protective Earth, PE, Grounding Electrode Conductor, and GEC
System technology which optimizes both grid-interactive and off-grid options
Grid-interactive,
grid-intertie, grid-tie
Utility grid power is available for use and the inverter is a model capable of returning
(selling) electricity back to the utility grid
High Battery Transfer; a function of the remote system display
International Electrotechnical Commission; an international standards organization
Low Battery Cut-Out; set point at which the inverter shuts down due to low voltage
AC Neutral; also known as Common
Neutral-to-ground
bonding
A mechanical connection between the AC neutral (Common) bus and the ground (PE)
bus; this bond makes the AC neutral safe to handle
Utility grid power
is not
available for use
Auxiliary connection that uses switch (relay) contacts to control external devices
Remote Temperature Sensor; accessory that measures battery temperature for charging
Remote interface device (such as the MATE3), used for monitoring, programming and
communicating with the inverter; also called “remote system display”
A type of utility electrical system with three “hot” lines, each 120° out of phase;
each carries the nominal line voltage with respect to neutral; each carries voltage with
respect to each other equaling the line voltage multiplied by 1.732
The electrical service and infrastructure supported by the electrical or utility company;
also called “mains”, “utility service”, or “grid”
