Schneider Electric > Conext XW 80 Amp 24/48 Volt MPPT Charge Controller
Manufacturer Part Number: RNW8651032
The Schneider Electric Conext XW Solar Charge Controller is a photovoltaic (PV) charge controller that tracks the electrical maximum power point of a PV array to deliver the maximum available current for charging batteries. When charging, the XW MPPT regulates battery voltage and output current based on the amount of energy available from the PV array and state-of-charge of the battery.
The XW-MPPT80-600 can be used with the XW power distribution panel, or stand-alone in other PV systems. Either a Square-D HU361RB 600 VDC disconnect, or the XW-Disco-RS, can be used as an array disconnect. Use a 100 A breaker for the XW-MPPT80-600 and 125 A breaker for the XW-MPPT100-600 on the battery side of the controller.
Features
- 60 A or 80 A for 12, 24, 36, 48 V batteries
- MPPT delivers maximum available power from PV array to battery bank, producing up to 30% more power than PWM charge controllers
- Integrated PV ground-faulted protection
- Convection-cooled design - does not require a cooling fan
- Selectable two or three-stage charging algorithms, with manual equalization to maximize system performance
- Two-line, 26-character liquid digital display (LCD) and four buttons for configuration and system monitoring in stand-alone applications
Essential for prolonging battery life by providing a controlled charge to the battery bank without overcharging
- Easy-to-install
- Improve battery life with selectable multi-stage temperature compensated charging
- Improve battery life with selectable multi-stage temperature compensated charging
Applications
- Backup power
- Residential grid-tie solar with backup power
- Off-grid solar
- Community electrification
- Self-consumption

Detailed Description
General
The Conext MPPT 80 600 solar charge controller offers an industry-first set of integration features and top performance that allows for large PV array systems to be easily installed and connected to the battery bank at the lowest overall cost. Installing one MPPT 80 600 is faster than installing multiple smaller charge controllers and
lowers overall costs further by utilizing fewer PV strings, smaller wiring and conduit, and by eliminating the need for PV combiner boxes and DC circuit breakers. Longer distances from array site to battery bank are also easier to accommodate than with smaller charge controllers. Advanced Fast Sweep Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charging technology helps harvest the most energy available from the PV array, even in partial shade conditions. 80A of battery charge current allows for the connection of PV arrays rated up to 600 V STC (2560 W for 24 V systems, 4800 W for 48 V systems).
