Product catalog summary
Overview
The AE 500TX Solar Inverter is designed for large commercial and small utility-scale projects, offering reliability, performance, and innovation. It includes options like an integrated DC circuit breaker subcombiner for compliance with NEC 2011 and enhanced serviceability. Factory-installed features include subcombiner monitoring, a revenue-grade meter, and a performance monitoring gateway.

Reliability
The inverter boasts a redundant power supply and cooling system with Smart Air Management™, ensuring over 99% monitored fleet availability. It operates at full power up to 55°C, with a low parts count to minimize failure points. Engineered busbar power connections and a card cage circuit board system enhance reliability.

Installability
Installation is simplified with no need for an external transformer, optional DC circuit breaker subcombiner, and DC loading up to 175%. The design includes bottom and side entry with generous bending areas and oversized busbar landings, along with exterior mounting flanges for easy anchoring.

Maintenance
Maintenance is facilitated through front and side access, a fast-change circuit board system, and an optional load-break-rated AC service disconnect. A dedicated performance monitoring section is separate from AC and DC modules.

Design and Efficiency
The AE 500TX inverter is housed in a single NEMA 4-rated cabinet, reducing installation time and cost. It supports DC loading up to 175%, with a 97%-weighted CEC efficiency and a wide DC operating range. It maintains full power up to 55°C, with advanced power controls for utility support functions.
