Stacking
At OutBack, we adhere to a philosophy that a power system should be fully customizable to address your specic needs. erefore
we set out to create the world’s rst group of inverter/chargers that use a truly modular architecture. is modular architecture uses
the next generation of a technique referred to as “stacking” to enable you to tailor your system for higher output power, increased
charging capabilities and/or three-phase power conguration.
Whether stacked in parallel, classic series, series/parallel or three-phase there is always an inverter/charger which performs the task
of Master. e Master talks to the other units through the HUB system communications manager while performing three major
roles, keeping all inverter/chargers properly phased, controlling inverter and charger output levels, as well as putting unused inverters
into Power Save mode to improve system eciency at low AC load levels.
Parallel Stacking - More power at same output voltage
When the inverter/chargers are stacked in parallel all inverter and charger outputs are combined. is means that each inverter’s AC output is
added up to equal your total system AC output, up to 36,000 watts, in phase at the same 120 VAC/60 Hz or 230 VAC/50 Hz output voltage, or
80,000 watts at 120/240 VAC/60 Hz with the Radian Series.

3-Phase Stacking - More power for three-phase loads
ree inverter/chargers can be congured to provide 120/208 VAC or 230/400VAC four wire “WYE/Star” three-phase AC Power. An inverter/charger is
used to power each of the three legs for 3-phase AC power. e loads on each of the inverters do not need to be kept balanced – each phase is independently
voltage regulated.
OutBack Series/Parallel Stacking - More power at all output voltages
Series/Parallel stacking or OutBack (OB) stacking is unique to OutBack inverter/chargers. Never before has it been possible to have inverter/char-
gers balancing loads intelligently between two legs of AC power while seamlessly changing between series and parallel. OB Stacking uses the X-240
auto transformer to balance the loads between the two separate series legs of a system. e X-240 allows AC loads on leg 1 and leg 2 to be powered
by any combination of inverter/chargers within your system. Even if there are only two inverter/chargers, connected in series, they can function as
if connected in parallel. is allows larger AC loads to be operated by a system without risking overloading one of the 120 VAC outputs.
Classic Series Stacking - More power at higher output voltage
Stacking inverter/chargers in classic series provides a system with split phase 120/240VAC. is method does not allow balancing between
separate legs on a system and is can only be used in dual inverter/charger systems without the X-240 Auto Transformer.
