Specifications
Product Description
The SMA Sunny Island X 50kW SI50-20 Three-phase HV Inverter Charger is designed for industrial and commercial applications that require high charging/discharging power for high-voltage batteries while maintaining reliable operation in demanding environments. With 50 kW nominal power and a maximum efficiency of 98%, it integrates Modbus TCP, Speedwire, and WLAN communications for top-tier plant monitoring via Sunny Portal (ennexOS) and advanced energy management control without back-up function in grid-connected systems.
Main Features
- Nominal power: 50 kW (50 kVA) three-phase; nominal output current 75.5 A per phase.
- HV input for lithium batteries: 200–980 VDC with integrated DC/DC converter and 150 A usable current.
- Max. efficiency 98% (European efficiency 97.2%); power factor 1 adjustable from 0 ind to 0 cap.
- IP65/NEMA 4X enclosure, active cooling, and operation from −25 °C to +60 °C with derating from 45 °C.
- Integrated energy management functions: self-consumption, peak demand limitation, and multi-use modes.
- Flexible integration with PV inverters in AC coupling and SMA ecosystem via Modbus TCP / Speedwire / WLAN.
Advantages or Benefits
- High power density for large loads, start-up peaks, and demanding industrial profiles.
- Massive scalability: integration in grid-connected systems without back-up (up to 11 units with SI-X or 50 with Data Manager M).
- Industrial robustness: IP65 environmental protection and reinforced climate class for severe conditions.
- Efficient operation that maximizes battery energy use and reduces conversion losses.
- Transparency and control with centralized commissioning and remote parameterization from Sunny Portal.
Purpose or Applications
Intended for commercial and industrial plants with AC coupling seeking energy management (peak-shaving, load shifting, self-consumption optimization) without the need for back-up switching. Also suitable for microgrids and off-grid systems with generators using Sunny Island X Connection Box and Hybrid Controller for synchronization and control of AC sources.
