MidNite Solar MNE175STM-L-240 E-Panel

MidNite Solar MNE175STM-L-240 E-Panel, 175A, 120/240VAC, White Steel for Magnum Inverters, Left Hand

The MNE-240 Series E-Panel enclosure provides the basic DC and AC overcurrent protection and disconnects required for a NEC compliant renewable energy system. It is specifically designed to accommodate inverters that provide 120/240VAC in a single unit.The MNE-240 Series E-Panel incorporates all the AC and DC wiring bus-bars and disconnects required to connect the Magnum MS-AE Series inverter/charger system.

It also provides additional room to install additional equipment, such as the MidNite Classic Charge controller (with accompanying solar array breakers/disconnects and battery temp sensors), the Magnum Battery Monitor, a PV Ground Fault device, and AC branch breakers (that can be used in lieu of an AC sub-panel to power the inverter's AC loads). These additional breakers are installed on a supplied Din-rail mounting bracket that has space for up to six 13mm sized AC or DC breakers.

The E-Panel includes a DC Breaker used to disconnect the battery bank from the inverter as required by the National Electric Code (NEC). This breaker is also used as an overcurrent device to protect against extremely high currents that a battery is capable of producing if any short circuits occur. A variety of DC Breaker options are available from MidNite Solar.

Next to the DC Breaker is a 500 amp/50 mV shunt with a DC negative bus-bar attached. The shunt is provided so that a Battery Monitor, which is used to determine the battery bank's state of charge, may be easily connected without any rewiring. The DC negative bus-bar provides a DC negative connection point for any DC loads or PV Panels in the installation.

Located on the right side of the E-Panel system is an AC input disconnect and an inverter bypass switch. The AC disconnect is used to remove the incoming AC power to the inverter input. The inverter bypass switch is provided to easily route the incoming AC power around the inverter and directly to the AC loads in the system - without rewiring or losing power to the AC loads in the system - in case the inverter needs to be removed. This disconnect box can easily be stacked horizontally or vertically to save space.
