Objectives_______<br />
• Select a power management <strong>in</strong>verter/<br />
charger with sufficient output and a small<br />
enough footpr<strong>in</strong>t to work with<strong>in</strong> the space<br />
and weight restrictions of the Orca vessels<br />
• Ensure ease of <strong>in</strong>stallation with an<br />
<strong>in</strong>verter/charger that can be mounted<br />
without difficulty<br />
• Elim<strong>in</strong>ate worry with an <strong>in</strong>verter/charger<br />
that can be preprogrammed to require no<br />
additional attention from the crew, and<br />
that can resist seawater that might enter<br />
vessel mach<strong>in</strong>ery rooms<br />
Solution___________________________<br />
Each of the eight Orca vessels was fitted with n<strong>in</strong>e <strong>OutBack</strong> <strong>Power</strong> sealed FX <strong>in</strong>verter/<br />
chargers and a MATE3 controller. Specially designed to survive <strong>in</strong> environments that<br />
would destroy other <strong>in</strong>verter/chargers, FX <strong>in</strong>verters have a die-cast alum<strong>in</strong>um chassis with<br />
a powder-coated f<strong>in</strong>ish to prevent corrosion and gaskets and o-r<strong>in</strong>g seals on seams and<br />
open<strong>in</strong>gs to keep seawater out. The compact <strong>OutBack</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>in</strong>verter/chargers are used<br />
as standalone battery chargers <strong>in</strong> Orca eng<strong>in</strong>e rooms for onboard diesel generators. The<br />
<strong>in</strong>verters power critical 120V electrical components that perform tasks such as steer<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
navigation and fire pump haul<strong>in</strong>g. The MATE3 controller makes ma<strong>in</strong>tenance easy by<br />
provid<strong>in</strong>g compact displays of the complete power system and allow<strong>in</strong>g remote system<br />
configuration. After see<strong>in</strong>g the performance of the FX series <strong>in</strong>verter/chargers <strong>in</strong> action<br />
onboard the Orca boats, Emery Electric began us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>OutBack</strong> products to replace the<br />
charg<strong>in</strong>g systems and <strong>in</strong>verters on many of the Navy’s support vessels, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g fireboats,<br />
tugboats and barges.<br />
Benefits<br />
• <strong>OutBack</strong> <strong>Power</strong> <strong>in</strong>verter/chargers mount easily on bulkhead walls and occupy m<strong>in</strong>imal<br />
space onboard cramped Navy vessels<br />
• Versatile FX <strong>in</strong>verter/chargers can serve <strong>in</strong> multiple roles, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g power conversion and<br />
battery charg<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• FX <strong>in</strong>verter/charger reliability reduces ma<strong>in</strong>tenance costs and helps elim<strong>in</strong>ate downtime<br />
• The <strong>OutBack</strong> <strong>Power</strong> MATE3 controller delivers remote power management and<br />
monitor<strong>in</strong>g capabilities for easy troubleshoot<strong>in</strong>g<br />
