Xantrex PowerHub 1800

The PowerHub is an inverter/battery charger combination with an attached battery box for two 100 Amp hour 12 VDC batteries.  One or two battery boxes can be attached to the PowerHub.  The PowerHub with two fully charged 100 AH batteries can deliver up to 950 watt-hours of electricity to run small appliances in a weekend cabin or during a power failure.  The PowerHub allows batteries to be recharged with a small wind generator and/or PV systems with a gas generator or with utility power.  It does not have a built in charge controller for PV modules but it has two DC charging inputs, one at 32 Amps maximum, labelled PV and one at 80 Amps labelled wind.  Both could be used with PV with the addition of a charge controller.  The 80 Amp input is suitable for an AIR-X wind turbine with a built-in regulator.

The PowerHub converts power stored in your deep cycle batteries to 1800 watts of household power to operate your essential applications. It provides an affordable, high output, primary power solution for an off-grid cottage or cabin, as well as backup power for grid-connected homes when the power goes out. Setting up this power system is simple and hassle-free with built-in fuses, breakers, and cables. The PowerHub is designed to be part of a system that allows you to easily connect to and charge your batteries with solar and wind inputs, and allows for pass-through generator output or generator charging of the batteries as well. And, its advanced automatic power transfer switching ensures your essential applications keep running in your grid-connected home should the power go out.
