Manufacturer of True Sine Wave Power Inverters and Related Products

MX SERIES POWER INVERTERS

EXELTECH manufactures the world's first truly

redundant, modular inverter system; the most
reliable inverter system available. No single
malfunction will cause the inverter system to fail.
Modules are "hot" insertable. Power levels are
expandable, and modules can be added or
replaced without interruption in power to your
critical loads. .
MX SERIES FAMILY
The MX system can be configured for power
levels from 1 to 20KW with 120 Vac output. Up
to 40KW at 240 Vac bi-phase or 60KW at 208
Vac 3 phase with many input and output voltages
also available. .
N+1 REDUNDANT
A control card and any number of additional
1000 Watt power modules combine to make a
EXPANDABLE standard inverter. This type of system can be
expanded as power requirements increase, and
upgraded to be N+1 redundant as desired. .
REMOTE SWITCHING
The MX system is extremely compact and
lightweight. Power modules weigh only 7 lbs.
TRUE SINE WAVE Each. .

Output voltage is precisely regulated, so that no

“HOT” INSERTABLE measurable voltage change occurs on the output
as input voltage fluctuates. Similarly, less than
0.5 volt change in output voltage will occur when
1000 WATT MODULES the output load varies from 0 to 100% of rated
power. With distortion of 2% maximum, this
inverter offers the cleanest sine wave power
OPTIONAL SNMP available. .

Models are available which cover all standard

battery systems. Custom models can be designed
to meet your specific input voltage requirements.

 MX SERIES MODULE DESCRIPTION

The Exeltech MX Series of inverters is a modular system which can be assembled in many combinations
to afford the user infinite flexibility. Options such as AC distribution, AC disconnect, metering, DC
disconnect, DC distribution, transfer switch and maintenance bypass switch are also available; (see
accessories).

The building blocks of the system are as follows:

1.) Power Module - A 1000 Watt slave power inverter. It requires drive signals from a Master Module or
Control Card as described below. This module is the backbone of the inverter system.
2.) Master Module - A 1000 Watt power inverter which contains all the electronics necessary to operate;
requires an enclosure to provide connections to the battery and AC output. It can also operate up to 19
slave Power Modules. If this module is used, the system cannot be fully redundant.
All MX systems require either a master module or at least one control card.
3.) Control Card - Generates all the signals necessary to operate up to 20 Power Modules. The card itself
will not generate any AC output power nor does any power flow through it. This card can be
paralleled with another Control Card to generate a redundant set of control signals to form the basis of
a completely redundant inverter system.
All MX systems require either a master module or at least one control card.
4.) Alarm Card - Can be used in conjunction with a redundant or non redundant inverter to provide various
alarm output signals via LED's and alarm contact closures. Must be included in redundant systems to
detect failure of control card.
5.) Transfer Switch - Provides the same functions as the alarm card, plus provides a relay to transfer AC
power to the load, from either the inverter or the utility input. Use only with systems up to 4KW N+1.

The above modules can be placed in the following enclosures; Installations can either be free standing
or in standard relay racks.
1.) 19" cage assembly - Compatible with a 19" relay rack. The smallest cage which can contain a
redundant system. Available in the following configurations:
19A - Basic configuration for a redundant system. Holds up to 4 Power Modules, 2 Control Cards and
either a Transfer Switch, System Monitor Card or an Alarm Card.
19B - Used as an expansion rack or may be used as an expandable, non redundant inverter, up to 5 KW.
This configuration will not accept X-fer Switch, alarm card or control cards.
2.) 23" cage assembly - Compatible with a 23" relay rack.
23A - Basic configuration for a redundant system. Holds up to 5 Power Modules, 2 Control Cards and
either a Static Transfer Switch, Transfer Switch, System Monitor II or an Alarm Card.
23B - Used as an expansion rack or may be used as an expandable, non redundant inverter, up to 6 KW.
This configuration will not accept X-fer Switch, alarm card or control cards.
3.) 7" cage assembly - for 1 or 2KW systems when redundancy is not required.
7C - Consists of 1 Transfer Switch and 1 Master Module.
This configuration will not accept an alarm card or control cards.
7B - Expandable up to 2KW. 1 Master Module and 1 Power Module.
This configuration will not accept X-fer switch, alarm card or control cards.
4). 9" cage assembly- for 1-3KW systems when redundancy is not required.
9C - Consists of Transfer Switch, 1 Master Module and 1 Power Module.
This configuration will not accept an alarm card or control cards.
9B - Expandable up to 3KW. 1 Master Module and 2 Power Modules.
This configuration will not accept X-fer Switch, alarm card or
control cards.

 MX SERIES SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Exeltech MX Series of inverters is available in three basic architectures; redundant, upgradable and
expandable. Different options and sizes are available to fit varying applications. As a benefit of the MX
series modular design, power levels are expandable in any system, as power requirements increase.

1.) N+1 Redundant-Expandable Inverter System: For applications where reliability and maintainability
are paramount, the N+1 redundant system offers the most cost effective method of achieving redundancy
and the ability to maintain the system while loads remain on line. All cards (except 12 Vdc) are "hot"
insertable to allow maintenance without interrupting power to critical loads. Designing the power level with
N+1 number of power modules, allows for redundancy without necessitating the purchase of a duplicate
system. (An A/B Buss option is available, which adds to system reliability).

A redundant system consists of:

and replaces the alarm card.

2.) Upgradable Inverter System: The Upgradable system offers the flexibility to add a X-fer switch or
alarm card and Full Redundancy for future requirements. A minimum system with as little as one control
card and one power module can be upgraded in the future to include additional power modules, X-fer switch
or alarm card and an additional control card for full redundancy (see figure II).

a system may be expanded to include a X-fer switch and additional power modules(see figure IV). 1KW
inverters with a X-fer switch use the 7"or 9" (part # 7C, 9C) cage. 1KW, 2KW and 3KW inverters without
a X-fer switch use the 7" or 9" (part number 7B, 9B) cage assembly.

 MX SYSTEMS MONITOR 2 CARD

The System Monitor 2 card is the newest of the monitoring card family and has more
features than the original system monitor card. It will monitor all the alarms, AC and DC
voltage and current, and AC frequency. Multi-phase systems can also be monitored with all
the information available from the front panel LCD or via an Ethernet connection. The card
can handle all of the system monitoring and alarm reporting that is required for a MX system.

complete loss is imminent. .

All good to good transfers are synchronous and performed at zero crossing. The switch will operate on the user selectable
primary source until the primary source fails or operates out of limits. It will switch to the secondary source in less than 4 ms
worst case. If the primary returns to normal limits, the switch will wait 15 sec for stabilization, monitor the primary and
secondary source, upon assuring they are in phase, it will switch at the next available zero crossing. .

The status of all available alarms, status, and measurements are available via a 2 X 8 LCD display. It is highly
recommended that an Exeltech maintenance bypass switch be used in conjunction with this or any other solid state transfer
switch. This switch can be used with Exeltech inverters or between any 2 AC Sources whether they be inverters, generators
or utility sources. .
