Magnum RD2824 Inverter/Charger
The Magnum RD2824 Provides Reliable Off-Grid Solar System Power
The RD Series Inverter/Charger from Magnum Energy is a new generation inverter designed specifically for renewable energy use. The RD Series is powerful, easy-to-use, and best of all, cost effective.
Power Factor Corrected (PFC) Charger: Our PFC charger is built into all of our inverter chargers. It uses less energy from a generator than a standard charger – using 25-30% less AC current than standard chargers.
Safe and reliable: The RD Series is ETL Listed to the stringent requirements of UL 1741, ensuring that the inverter is safe and reliable.
Easy-to-install: Install the RD Series in four easy steps:
1. simply connect the inverter’s output to your distribution circuits or electrical panel.
2.connect your power cable (AC) to the inverter’s easy-toreach terminal block.
3. connect the batteries.
4. and switch on the power.
- You asked and Magnum listened. The RD Series Inverter/Charger is loaded with features:
- Choices: The RD Series comes in four power models and 12 and 24 volt models, allowing you to choose the model that is right for you.
- Versatile mounting: Mount the RD Series on a shelf or wall.
- Lightweight: The lightweight aluminum base and cover also provides noise reduction and corrosion resistance.
- Multiple ports: The RD Series provides multiple ports, including an RS485 communication port for network expansion, and a remote port.
