AE 3TL 40/46

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The AE 3TL 40/46 kW string inverters are designed for large photovoltaic (PV) systems, offering high return on investment due to their efficiency and reliability. Available in two models, the AE 3TL 40 provides 40 kW at 400 V AC, and the AE 3TL 46 provides 46 kW at 460 V AC. Both models are maintenance-free, passively cooled, and comply with protection class IP65, making them suitable for decentralized outdoor installations.
Key Features: The inverters feature Ultra-Eta topology, achieving over 98% efficiency even at partial loads, which accelerates the return on investment. They include 4-channel string monitoring and an integrated data logger for yield tracking. The DC connection box comes with integrated string fuses, and optional DC overvoltage protection is available.
Technical Specifications:
  • AC Nominal Power: 40 kW (AE 3TL 40), 46 kW (AE 3TL 46)
  • Max. Efficiency: 98.2% (AE 3TL 40), 98.3% (AE 3TL 46)
  • Protection Class: IP65
  • Cooling: Natural convection
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +55°C
  • Max. Elevation: 4000 meters above sea level
Installation and Operation: The inverters are lightweight and easy to install, with flexible communication options via Ethernet or RS485. The compact design allows for versatile placement within PV systems, either close to solar modules or centrally grouped.
System Planning and Support: AEI Power provides an online planning tool, AE Design, for calculating energy yield and balance. The Utility Competence Center offers optimization suggestions and component recommendations for system planning.
Certifications and Compliance: The inverters comply with various international standards, including VDE 0126-1-1, and are equipped with internal overvoltage protection according to EN 61643-11.

AE 3TL 40/46-1

AE 3TL 40/46 kW String inverters for large systems High return on investment Lightweight Robust construction Performance and reliability are what counts in large PV systems. The new string inverter AE 3TL 40/46 offers both. It is available in two performance classes: With 40 kW for 400 V AC voltage and with 46 kW for 460 V AC voltage. The AE 3TL complies with protection class IP65, is passively cooled and as such requires no maintenance – a reliable partner for decentralized outdoor concepts. Both versions are equipped with Ultra-Eta topology. Even with partial loads, the efficiency of the AE 3TL is over 98 %. This speeds up the return on investment. 4-channel string monitoring and the integrated data logger allow you to keep track of yields at all times. DC string fuses are already integrated in the DC connection box and the devices are light and handy despite their hefty advantages. This makes installation and operation very simple. We can also optionally fit the inverter with a DC overvoltage protection.
