Protection contre les surintensités du câblage de sortie CA doit être fournie dans le cadre de l’installation du système. Reportez-vous à la Section 2.5 Câblage ca dans le chapitre d’installation pour plus d’informations.
Powerful, yet simple to use, this inverter/charger will provide you with years of trouble-free performance you have come to expect from Magnum Energy. Installation is easy. Simply connect the inverter’s output to your distribution circuits or electrical panel, connect your utility or AC generator power to the inverter’s easy-to-reach terminal block,...
AC Access Cover – provides access to the internal AC wiring terminal block (see Figure 2-8). This terminal block is used to hardwire all inverter AC input and output wiring connections. Remove the two screws to access the AC wiring terminal block. The MS2000 models do not have the AC wiring terminal block.
Note1: The model shown is not a -15B or -20B model, therefore it does not show any AC output breakers Models without output breakers (CB1 & CB2) use carriage bolts to fi ll the breaker openings. Figure 1-4, Left Side Features (MS2000 Series) How an Inverter/Charger Works There are two modes of operation associated with this inverter/charger: •...
ME or RD Series installation. This standard platform also helps reduce cost by using standard parts/ accessories across many models. Magnum accessories such as the Advanced Remote Control (ME- ARC), Standard Remote Control (ME-RC), Automatic Generator Start - Networked (ME-AGS-N), and Battery Monitor Kit (ME-BMK) can be used.
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum Energy dealer or Magnum Energy. If at all possible, keep your shipping box to help protect your inverter from damage if it ever needs to be returned for service. Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of your ownership;...
The MP-HOOD inverter hood helps prevent items from falling inside causing damage to the inverter. Info: Magnum provides a backplate for mounting the inverter. These backplates also provide the ability to mount either the MMP Series enclosure (PN: BP-MMP) or the MP Series Enclosure (PN: BP-S single plate, or BP-D dual plate).

The AC and DC wires to and from the inverter must be protected as required by code. This can be done by using jacketed wires or by feeding the wires through conduit. Magnum offers a DC conduit box (ME-CB), a single inverter enclosure (MMP Series), and a multiple inverter enclosure (MP Series) that include the necessary AC and DC inverter breakers that allow both the AC and DC conduit to be connected to the inverter.
Route an appropriately sized DC negative wire (marked white) from the negative terminal of the battery bank to the inverter’s negative terminal (Item 11, Figure 1-2). Info: If installing a battery monitor such as Magnum’s ME-BMK, install a DC shunt in- line with the negative battery cable.
Because we think it is an essential part of an inverter system, every Magnum panel (MMP/MP Series) is equipped with an Inverter Bypass Switch. When the inverter is in Standby mode, the full AC continuous pass-thru capacity of the MS Series inverter/charger is 30 amps for each AC leg (AC HOT 1 and AC HOT 2).
Installation 2.5.3 Recommended GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruption) Outlets In compliance with UL standards, Magnum Energy has tested the following GFCIs and fi nd that they function properly when connected to the inverter’s AC output: • Shock Sentry #XGF15V-SP •...

The following steps are basic guidelines for installing and connecting the AC wiring to and from all MS Series inverters (except MS2000 Series model inverters – for instructions on wiring MS2000 Series model inverters, refer to Section 2.5.7). Before proceeding, refer to Table 2-3 to determine your AC wiring confi...
The following table provides the different wiring confi gurations for installing and connecting the AC conductors to and from the inverter (refer to Figures 2-9 to 2-13 for installation drawings showing these confi gurations). Refer to Table 2-4 (and Figures 2-14 & 2-15) for the MS2000 models. Table 2-3, AC Input/Output Wiring Confi gurations...

This model has a slightly smaller height, but otherwise has the same footprint as the other MS Series inverters. The MS2000 uses wire leads to connect the AC wires and can be wired in a single in - single out confi guration, as well as a single in - dual out confi guration (-15B & -20B).
AC Wiring Confi guration (MS2000 models) The following table provides the different wiring confi gurations for installing and connecting the AC conductors to and from MS2000 model inverters (see Figures 2-14 and 2-15 for installation diagrams showing these confi gurations).
2-6 and is connected to the inverter’s AC equipment grounding terminal shown in Figure 2-8 (or a grounding wire for the MS2000 models). DC Side – Since the currents on the DC side are higher than the AC side (10 times at 12 volts, 5 times at 24 volts), the equipment grounding needs are different.
If you are not sure whether you must disable this feature, check your local code requirements. The following steps will guide you in disabling the neutral-to-ground switching feature. Note¹ – The neutral-to-ground switching feature cannot be disabled in MS2000 models. Info: The ground connection from the inverter’s AC and DC ground terminals should still be connected to the system ground, even if ground switching has been disabled.

Operation Standby Mode Magnum Energy’s MS Series features an internal battery charger and an automatic transfer relay when operating in Standby mode. The Standby mode begins whenever AC power (utility or generator) is connected to the inverter’s AC input. Once the AC voltage and frequency of the incoming AC power is within the AC input limits, an automatic AC transfer relay is activated.
Required’ on the remote compatibility matrix on our website, then your inverter can support the device setting/feature you want. If your inverter does not have the required compatibility level for a feature/setting you want, contact Magnum Energy to determine if there is a software upgrade option for your inverter.
In either case, if an internal fault does not clear, the inverter will require repair at a Magnum Authorized Service Center (ASC). Info: The Power ON/OFF pushbutton is a small momentary type switch which operates by lightly pressing and releasing.
Unit Dimensions (length x width x height) 13.75” x 12.65” x 8.0” (34.9 cm x 32.1 cm x 20.3 cm) [Height on MS2000 models is 7.0”/17.8 cm] 19” x 17” x 13” (48.3 cm x 43.2 cm x 33 cm)
500A/50mv DC shunt. Fuse Block/Fuses The TFB series of Magnum fuse/fuse-blocks are used to protect the battery bank, inverter, and cables from damage caused by DC short circuits and overloads. They include a slow-blow, high current Class-T fuse with mounting block and protective cover. The fuse sizes are available in 125, 200, 300, and 400 amps.
Appendix C – Inverter/Charger Terminology Appendix C – Inverter/Charger Terminology The following is a glossary of terms with which you may not be familiar. They appear in the various descriptions of inverter and battery charger operation. Absorbtion Stage – In this second stage of three stage charging, the batteries are held at a constant voltage (the absorb voltage setting) and the battery is charged to its maximum capacity.
