Shown with Inverter Attached

Connect Energy has integrated all of the "balance-of-systems" items commonly needed to install a solar electric system into one compact, easy to install package.

The PC500 is UL Listed for safety and is built to make the installation of dual inverters easier than ever.

Standard features include an advanced 60 Amp pulse width modulated (PWM) multi-stage charge controller, plus all of the AC and DC disconnects and overcurrent protection required by the National Electric Code (NEC).

Options allow for easy expansion or customization to meet your system's needs now and in the future.


Options

BTC25 - Remote battery temperature compensation probe. 25-foot (8m) cable included.
GFDI-500 - Ground fault detector and interrupter for roof-mounted arrays.
5A60ADD-500-XX - Additional 60 Amp charge control relay with DC circuit breaker. Voltage specific, (Up to 3 additional Inputs)
SIG-XX - Automatic generator start stop relay for two wire start generators, High/Low Battery Voltage Alarm. Voltage specific, must be factory installed.
LVD60-500-XX - Low Voltage Disconnect ­ Automatically Disconnect and Re-connects your loads during Low battery voltage conditions. Voltage Specific - (DC Load Breaker Included)
Main Inverter Disconnects

Dual 250 Amp inverter breaker/disconnect, rated at 125 VDC & 10,000 Amps Interrupting Capacity (AIC). Provides National Electric Code (NEC) required over current protection for high current inverter circuits.
 
Metering Options

Standard configuration of unit allows for easy installation of meter to monitor Amp hours. Includes 500Amp/50 mv shunt and remote terminal block wired for Trimetric meter. Other Amp hour meters can be installed by determining the Manufactures connections for Voltage Sense and Current at the remote terminal block.
Custom configuration can be factory installed to allow for monitoring of input/load (i.e. PSM3) or a combination of an Amp hours meter plus an input/load meter.

Advanced 60Amp PWM Charge Controller with PV Input Breaker

Solid-state 60 Amp, microprocessor based pulse width modulated (PWM) charge control with multi-stage charging algorithms (Bulk, Absorb, Float).
One 60 Amp PV input breaker with #1/0 AWG terminal lugs with two remaining DC breaker slots.
Field configurable for 12, 24 or 48 volt operation.
Field adjustable Bulk and Float set points plus factory calibrated defaults for Flooded Lead Acid, Sealed Gel or AGM batteries.
Three LED status indicators show battery level, array charging and low battery warning.
Automatic and manual equalization modes for flooded batteries.
Protected against surges, reverse polarity, short circuit, over temperature and overload conditions.
Rated for continuous operation at 60 Amps.
Automatic Nighttime Disconnect
AC Section with Input/Output/Bypass Breakers
Dual 60 Amp AC inverter bypass configuration allows loads to be powered directly from external AC power source.

System Integration

Courier shippable powder coated enclosure, conduit ready with knockouts conveniently placed for easy mounting of the inverter.
Current shunt/bonding block accepts #4/0AWG fine strand cable.
Meets the NEC requirements for overcurrent protection and "means of disconnect".


Warranty

The PC500 carries a five year warranty.
