P.R.O. Verter™ APM 1600 PS Enviro (12V DC)

P.R.O. Verter APM 1600 PS Enviro (12VDC)

12V DC - 120V AC / 60Hz - Item # 000801

The Portable Remote Operation Inverter/Charger (P.R.O. Verter™) with Advanced Power Management (A.P.M.) provides a single point of power management  & control to any portable micro-grid that uses a lead-acid battery system as the main power storage facility.  

It can be used to combine both DC Power and AC Power sources into one Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for the operator.

The PRO-Verter 1600 has a low-Voltage alarm feature that provides the operator with audible and visible notifications when an external AC Power Source is required for continued operations. External AC power sources include manual-start fuel-driven generators or utility grid sources. 

The PRO-Verter is environmentally sealed, allowing for operation in wet environments (with case closed).

The PRO-Verter™ 1600 APM is a powerful solution that can be used in three distinct situations:

1. Solar Stik™ System is used where an existing AC power supply is intermittently available (such as an inconsistent power grid or fuel-driven generator)
2. The reduction of fuel-driven generator “run-time” is necessary, either due to the lack of fuel or to lessen the cost burden of operating the generator
3. The Solar Stik™ System is used where power requirements may exceed the System’s daily power generation, requiring a supplemental power source such as a traditional fuel-driven generator.

“Hybrid” Operation:

Use of a battery-based Hybrid system comprised of solar, wind, and traditional fuel generators provides the operator with maximum autonomy and flexibility (based on the environmental conditions) and ensures that traditional fuel-driven generators are used only as necessary. In this model, the renewable power generators become the primary power generators, and the fuel-driven generators become the secondary source.

A Hybrid power generator configuration mitigates the risk of dependency on only one power source, while simultaneously increasing operating efficiency dramatically. Additionally, the “open architecture” of a Hybrid configuration allows for the addition of other power generating sources into the circuit as needed.

The PRO-Verter™ is connected between the Solar Stik™ Power Pak and an AC power source, such as a fuel-driven generator, with all system loads (appliances & equipment) connected to the PRO-Verter™.

The PRO-Verter™ distributes power from the Solar Stik™ Power Pak batteries as demanded by the appliances, until a user-determined Voltage set point is reached.  At this point, a generator can be activated (manually or automatically) to assume the appliance load. Simultaneously, additional AC power produced by the generator is then used by the PRO-Verter™ to recharge the Power Pak batteries.

This process ensures that the generator is run under a “consistent load” condition and that all fuel consumed by the generator is used to produce power for storage.

PRO-Verters™ were developed  in the context of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with PM-MEP, a division of PEO-C3T.
