The GVFX models use the same die-cast aluminum housing
as the GTFX but is not sealed - outside air is drawn through the
electronics to allow higher power ratings and better performance
in high ambient conditions. The air intake of the inverter includes
a removable, washable filter and the exhaust openings are protected
by grills with very small openings to prevent entry of insects,
etc.
"These new OutBack GTFX and GVFX models advances our
next generation power conversion technologies into the grid-tie
market," according to Christopher Freitas of OutBack Power. "The
extremely rugged construction, field serviceability and the utility
back-up capability provides higher system value, performance and
reliability -- all critical to the success of utility connected
renewable energy systems."
ETL Testing Laboratories, a Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory, is authorized by OSHA to conduct safety testing
and provide product listings and is comparable to Underwriters Laboratories.
The GTFX and GVFX are listed under the UL 1741 standard, "Inverters,
Converters, and Controllers for use in Independent Power Systems,
1st Edition".
The operation of one or even multiple FXs or VFXs
can be programmed and monitored by the OutBack "MATE" system control
and display unit. The OutBack MATE also allows the system users
to monitor the performance of the inverter/charger while providing
a simple, single-screen display of the system's status and operation
using words and symbols. A personal computer, using third party
software, can be connected to the MATE to allow monitoring of the
system and for remote control. Remote, web based, monitoring and
control are also currently being developed as well.
