ELECTRICITY ON BOARD COMBI-GAMMA
The VETUS Combi-γ may be used: • As an inverter (from 12 or 24 Volt D.C. to 230 Volt A.C.) • As a battery charger • In combination with the VETUS solar charger The description of the inverter function is identical to the VETUS sine wave inverters shown on page 162. The battery charger has a four-stage function: boost, absorption, float and equalize. Two batteries or battery banks may be connected to it. In combination with a VETUS solar charger, the Combi-γ unit can exchange data and control the current supply, as well as the charging characteristics.
COMBI In addition to its major functions, the Combi-γ has many more features: • Power Control With the incorporated Power Control, the maximum input current from the shore supply or the generator set can be selected. This ensures that the circuit breaker on the shore supply or generator will not trip. • Power Manager The Power Manager function controls and regulates the entire power supply. If you need more power, the Power Manager will automatically switch in the inverter, or start the generator, in order to supply the required power.

One 3 kW Combi-γ unit will therefore supply a total of 6kW (3kW via the inverter function and a further 3 kW from the shore supply or the generator). • UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) If the power supply from the shore supply or generator fails, the Combi-γ inverter function will switch in automatically. • Parallel connection To achieve the maximum required power levels, up to 5 Combi-γ units can be connected in parallel. • Three-phase functionality A three-phase supply system may also be created with 3 Combi-γ units. Using 3 kW Combi-γ’s in parallel and three-phase, a total output of 45 kW can be achieved.
REMOTE CONTROL PANEL FOR COMBI-γ A remote control panel may be connected to the Combi-γ unit. This panel displays the following information: • AC input and output voltage and current • Battery voltage, current and power consumption • Charging voltage and charging current levels of Combi-γ and solar charger • UPS status • Multifunctional relay status • Alarms

SOLAR CHARGER
The VETUS Solar Charger enables regulated battery charging when using solar panels. In addition to its charging function this unit ensures that, when the batteries are fully charged, the output of the solar panels can be used for other purposes (diversion regulation). In order to prevent complete discharge of the battery, the charging control function will disconnect any consumers when the battery voltage drops too low. The VETUS Solar Charger may be used as a stand alone unit, or in combination with the VETUS Combi-γ unit. In this case the Combi-γ will control the complete current supply. Up to 10 Solar Chargers may be connected in parallel formation. The Solar Charger is protected against: 1. short circuit 2. current overload from solar panel 3. reversed battery polarity 4. excess temperature.
