How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 5500W 48VDC to 230V Sine Wave Solar Inverter/Charger

• Plan a well-ventilated, dry installation location with ample clearance for heat dissipation and maintenance access. Ensure the enclosure is protected from moisture and direct exposure to the elements.
• Mount the inverter/charger securely to a wall or rack, following the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines for vibration, airflow, and weight distribution.
• Connect the 48V DC battery bank to the input terminals using appropriately rated cables. Observe correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) and ensure tight, corrosion-free connections.
• Connect the 230V AC load side to the distribution panel or individual circuits as required. Use proper gauge wiring and comply with local electrical codes and safety practices.
• Link the AC input/output paths as directed by the manual to enable the built-in charger to draw from the AC source when available and feed the inverter as needed for uninterrupted power.
• Power on the unit and perform a basic system check with a small, non-critical load to verify operation. Monitor for fault codes or overheat warnings and address any issues per the user manual.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What loads can this inverter power continuously? A: The 5500W continuous rating supports a wide range of household and workshop loads, including HVAC, refrigerators, pumps, lighting, electronics, and power tools, as long as the total demand stays within the 5500W continuous limit and peak demands are managed.
• Q: What voltage and frequency does the output provide? A: It delivers 230V AC output at standard frequency (typically 50 or 60 Hz depending on regional configuration) suitable for most home or off-grid electrical systems.
• Q: Can I charge the battery bank while the inverter is in use? A: Yes. The built-in charging capability up to 90A allows simultaneous charging from an AC source or compatible charging input, helping you recover energy while running essential loads.
• Q: Is this inverter compatible with solar panels? A: It is designed as an inverter/charger for off-grid systems and battery banks. It integrates with solar storage setups by converting stored solar energy from the battery bank into usable AC power and by charging the batteries when AC input is available.
• Q: What safety features are included? A: The unit includes protection against overload, short circuits, and thermal conditions to safeguard both the inverter and connected equipment, and it is built to endure demanding off-grid environments.
• Q: What installation considerations should I know? A: Ensure proper ventilation, correct wiring practices, adherence to electrical codes, and a grounded installation. Follow the manufacturer’s installation manual for wiring diagrams, safety precautions, and commissioning steps.
