The xi-series: The next logical step in the further development of our proven Powador solar inverters.

With its xi series, KACO has set another milestone in the development of its proven and rugged Powador solar inverters. The, completely transformerless technology has become the hallmark of KACO and characterizes its highly efficient and exceptionally reliable inverters. The xi-series combines all the features of a state-of-the-art energy converter: user convenience, innovative technology, maximum degrees of efficiency and ruggedness. Taking a pioneer role in the field of transformerless technology, KACO has focused primarily on maximum efficiency, a fact already proven very impressively by the predecessor of todays xi-series. The new xiseries has been designed to follow-up this tradition exhibiting degrees of efficiency that can only be achieved by genuine transformerless inverter technology. In addition, KACO continues to count on its unique MPP technology ensuring that you will remain a step ahead as far as the total yield of your installation is concerned. The user convenience of KACO devices leaves nothing to be desired. All the important information can be read off an illuminated display. Grid-side connection is via sturdy terminal screws, whereas on the DC voltage end you may choose between terminal screws or plug-type connectors (Tyco or MC-type). Installation is facilitated by means of a mounting plate, which is simply attached to the wall for suspension of the inverter - wherever you wish to use the device. Protection class IP54 makes the inverter wellequipped for any type of operating environment. And of course, it comes with a host of accessories. Longevity and reliability have been the outstanding characteristics and key objectives of all KACO developments. Mid of the last century, KACO created the basis for reliable inverters with its chopper units. As reliability has remained a key characteristic of all KACO inverters the focus continues to be on the use of convection cooling for KACO inverters. In addition, KACO still relies on its proven 3-phase monitoring, which forms the basis of your interface between the energy provider and PV installation. This completely passive technology enables parallel operation of several inverters just as well as operation under difficult grid conditions. High reliability and the absence of shutdowns due to system faults are the results. The xi-series KACOs next logical step in the further development of our outstanding Powador solar inverters.

The generation of transformerless solar inverters.
We want all wishes to come true! - With this objective in mind, R&D engineers at KACO have pursued ideas and possible enhancements of our well-proven transformerless inverter series, Powador. This series includes redundant 3-phase monitoring and AC/DC-universal fault-current protection. The fact that 3-phase monitoring has been adopted in the VDE standard 0126-1 clearly confirms our philosophy at KACO: Maximum reliability and functionality to our customers benefit. The grid monitoring feature is adapted to the requirements of the standard, now making it possible to use KACO inverters for multi-inverter installations without requiring any additional effort. Discussions with your Electric Board are now a thing of the past. The adjustable interface mode will make you even more flexible when selecting your accessories or data recording and evaluation. This feature allows on-site selection of the desired interface protocol (RS232 or RS485). In addition, a potential-free fault-message relay is integrated. The enclosure design underlines all these product features, while maintaining the proven reliability and functionality of these devices. Protection class IP 54 makes our inverters suitable for harsh operating conditions, and there are absolutely no compromises as far as our guarantee and services are concerned. Our seven-year guarantee (with an option to be extended to 11 years) is aimed at setting new standard.

efficiency.
Degree of effciency of Powador 5000xi

Highest degrees of efficiency can be translated into added value. If you compare our values to those of other manufacturers, you will discover that the efficiency yielded by a single solar inverter made by KACO will be higher than that of other parallel circuit designs, even when used under partial-load conditions.

photovoltaics - our commitment.

The sun wont send us an electricity bill. It provides us with free energy, which in contrast to fossil fuels, will remain available for many decades. It is our commitment to design devices and systems that yield maximum outputs from solar energy, so as to preserve our planet as a natural environment for the generations to come.

convection cooling.
For enhanced longevity and reliability our devices are solely cooled by convection, i.e. heat is dissipated mainly via the heat sink on the rear side of the inverter, with the remaining heat being radiated by the aluminum surface of the enclosure.

KACO GERTETECHNIK GmbH offers its customers a wide range of useful accessories. The product range includes devices of superb quality for monitoring, display, data transfer and visualization. Powador-easy LOG Powador-easyLOG is used to transmit the operating data of your inverter via a wireless connection and display such data either on the Powador-Display or on a PC.

Powador-display You wish to see what your installation is doing and whether everything is the way it should be? Then Powador-display is the right choice for you. Via an RF module, the inverter transmits its data to the display, where you can observe the daily curve or read the current output or daily yield. You will be able to recognize any problems in your installation very quickly. The attractive display is suitable for use in home or office surroundings.

KACOVISO You wish to view your inverter data on a PC? Then simply connect the RS232 interface of your inverter to your PC, download the free KACOVISO from the Internet and install it on your PC. Leaving your PC switched on during the inverter operation, you will now be able to view and record all the required data and values of your solar inverter. (Please note that the maximum cable length of the RS232 interface is 20 m).

Powador-pro Log You wish professional monitoring and data recording of your installation? Powador-proLOG is the high-end solution to provide error messages by SMS, fax or e-mail, remote access to installation data, display of your PV installation on the web or many other things its just no problem for Powador- proLOG. Up to 32 devices can be connected to Powador- proLOG by means of the RS485 interface.

P o w a d o r- g o If you simply wish to know if your installation is working properly, Powador-go is the right choice for you. If your PV installation or your modules stop producing current, Powador-go-Set will provide an acoustic warning signal after 24 hours. The entire process is independent of the inverter, so just lean back and relax your installation will tell you if there is a problem.
