Term Definition
12V AUX Auxiliary connection that supplies 12 Vdc to control external devices
AC Alternating Current; refers to voltage produced by the inverter, utility grid, or generator
AGS Advanced Generator Start
DC Direct Current; refers to voltage produced by the batteries or renewable source
DVM Digital Voltmeter
GND Ground; a permanent conductive connection to earth for safety reasons; also known as
Chassis Ground, Protective Earth, PE, Grounding Electrode Conductor, and GEC
Grid/Hybrid™ System technology which optimizes both grid-interactive and off-grid options
Grid-interactive,
grid-intertie, grid-tie Utility grid power is available for use and the inverter is a model capable of returning
(selling) electricity back to the utility grid
HBX High Battery Transfer; a function of the remote system display
IEC International Electrotechnical Commission; an international standards organization
LBCO Low Battery Cut-Out; set point at which the inverter shuts down due to low voltage
NEU AC Neutral; also known as Common
Neutral-to-ground
bonding A mechanical connection between the AC neutral (Common) bus and the ground (PE)
bus; this bond makes the AC neutral safe to handle
Off-grid Utility grid power is not available for use
PV Photovoltaic
RELAY AUX Auxiliary connection that uses switch (relay) contacts to control external devices
RTS Remote Temperature Sensor; accessory that measures battery temperature for charging
System display Remote interface device (such as the MATE3), used for monitoring, programming and
communicating with the inverter; also called “remote system display”
Three-phase, 3-phase A type of utility electrical system with three “hot” lines, each 120° out of phase;
each carries the nominal line voltage with respect to neutral; each carries voltage with
respect to each other equaling the line voltage multiplied by 1.732
Utility grid The electrical service and infrastructure supported by the electrical or utility company;
also called “mains”, “utility service”, or “grid”
