MTIs MX Inverter Series

MTI Technologies introduces the MX Inverter Series a truly redundant, modular inverter system. No single malfunction will cause the inverter to fail, making the MX Series the most reliable inverter system available. The power modules are hot swappable for easy service and maintenance. Power levels are expandable, and inverter modules can be upgraded or replaced while the system is on line without interruption in power to your critical loads. The system can be configured for power levels from 1000 watts to 5KW with 120 VAC output. Larger systems are available up to 20 KW at 120 Vac output, 40KW at 240 Vac bi-phase or 60KW at 208 Vac 3 phase, upon special order. One 1000-watt master module and any number of additional 1000-watt power modules (up to four) combine to make a standard inverter. This type of system can be expanded as power requirements increase. With each power module weighing only 7 lbs., the system is extremely compact and lightweight. The output voltage is precisely regulated, eliminating any measurable voltage change on the output when the input voltage changes over its wide voltage range. Similarly, less than a 0.5 volt change in output voltage will occur when the output load varies from 0 to 100% of rated power. With a maximum distortion of 2%, the MX Inverter Series offers the cleanest sine wave power available. A variety of models are available to cover all standard battery systems. Custom models can be designed to meet your specific input voltage requirements.

Module Description
The MX Inverter Series is a highly modular system that can be assembled in many combinations to provide the user infinite flexibility. All MX systems feature a manual power adjustment allowing power modules not in use to be turned off, reducing no load current drain. Optional remote metering and switch are also available. The building blocks of the system are as follows:

Slave Power Module - This is 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 and will be the majority of the modules in most systems.

MTI
Master Module The 1000-watt master module power inverter contains all the electronics necessary to operate. It requires an enclosure to provide connections to the batter and AC output. This module can also operate up to 19 slave Power Modules. If this module is used to operate the slave modules the system cannot be fully redundant. All MX systems require either a mater module or at least one control card. Control Card - This card will generate 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 completely redundant inverter system. All MX systems require either a master module or at least one control card.

Alarm Card - This card can be used in conjunction with a redundant or non-redundant inverter to provide
various alarm output signals to the user via LEDs and alarm contact closures. The alarm card must be included in redundant system to detect failure of control card.

Transfer Switch - Provides all 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 7KW or less.

Module Description - Enclosures

All of the foregoing modules can be placed in the following enclosures. Installations can either be free standing or in standard relay racks.

19 cage assembly - This enclosure is compatible with a 19 relay rack. This is the smallest cage that can
contain a redundant system. This is the basic configuration for a redundant system. It can hold up to 4 power modules, 2 control cards and either a transfer switch or an alarm card. This can be used as an expansion rack or as an expandable, non-redundant inverter, up to 5KW. This configuration will not accept transfer switch, alarm card or control cards.

23 cage assembly - This enclosure is compatible with a 23 relay rack.

This is the basic configuration for a redundant system. It can hold up to 5 power modules, 2 control cards and either a transfer switch or an alarm card. This can be used as an expansion rack or as an expandable, non-redundant inverter, up to 6 KW. This configuration will not accept a transfer switch, alarm card or control cards.

7 cage assembly - For 1 or 2KW systems when redundancy is not required.

This configuration consists of 1 transfer switch and 1 master module. This configuration is expandable up 2KW. 1 Master Module and 1 Power Module. This configuration will not accept a transfer switch, alarm card or control cards.

9 cage assembly - For 1-eKW systems when redundancy is not required.

This configuration consists of a transfer switch and 1 or 2 master modules. This configuration is expandable up to 3KW. 1 master module and 2 power modules. This configuration will not accept a transfer switch, alarm card or control card.

Step 1: Step 2:
Model number always starts with MX. To designate a cage assembly, enter the two-character code from the system design chart. When ordering a power module or master module, enter a K. If ordering any other module, enter an asterisk (*). To designate the type of module, enter the single character code from the system design chart. To designate cage assembly output voltage, enter the single character code 1 for 120 VAC, 3 for 230 VAC or 4 for 240VAC. To designate the input voltage, enter the single character code from the VDC Input Voltage Chart below. If ordering an alarm card or cage assembly, enter an asterisk (*). VDC Input Voltage Chart DC Volts 12 24 32 48 66 Designation 1 2 B 4 E The output frequency is designated by using the first number of the frequency (5 for 50Hz, 6 for 60Hz, 4 for 400Hz). If ordering a Transfer switch, alarm card, power module or cage assembly, enter an asterisk (*). This designates the revision level (for MTIs use only).

System Part Numbers
Use the design chart on the following page to formulate the model number Step 1: Step 2:
Enter the two character code for cage assembly size and configuration. When a transfer switch or alarm card is used, enter the single character code for that card. In applications where neither is used, enter an asterisk (*). The 2nd character designates the option level of the alarm card or transfer switch. Enter the two-character code for the control card(s) or master module if there is no application where both are used. To designate the power levels, enter the number for the quantity of power modules required. Redundant systems require continuous load ratings plus one additional power module. To designate the type of power module required, enter the single character code. To designate the input voltage, enter the single character code from the VDC Input Chart below.
